  • Publication number: 20240011319
    Abstract: A scalable and portable popup worksite system for work that requires indoor or outdoor workspace isolation from the surrounding elements. In the preferred embodiments, the invention comprises a foldable frame structure, a cover retaining system, and a ventilation system. The frame structure comprises a plurality of foldable wall trusses connecting a plurality of upright telescopic posts transversely forming a wall frame structure and a closed loop geometric footprint, a plurality of foldable roof trusses connecting a centrally disposed roof connector assembly to either the telescopic posts or the wall trusses transversely forming the roof. The cover retaining system comprises a plurality of cover retaining assemblies, spring clips and spring clamps to secure roof and wall cover to the frame structure. The ventilation system comprises an enclosure that can utilize standard furnace air filters and existing air circulation devices. Multiple frame structures can be linked together to scale up workspace.

  • Patent number: 11734900
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for real-time object placement guidance in augmented reality experience. An example method may include receiving, by a device having a sensor, an indication of an object to be viewed in an physical environment of the device. The example method may also include determining a 3D model of the physical environment using data of the physical environment captured by the sensor. The example method may also include determining that a first surface in the 3D model of the environment is a first floor space, and a second surface in the 3D model of the environment is a first wall space. The example method may also include determining that a portion of the first surface is unoccupied and sized to fit the object.

  • Publication number: 20220412117
    Abstract: The invention comprises a scalable and foldable multipurpose frame structure configured with a generally flat-roof as a worksite and a peaked-roof as a recreational canopy, a cover retaining system and a ventilation system. The frame structure comprises a plurality of foldable wall trusses connecting a plurality of upright telescopic posts transversely forming a wall frame structure and a closed loop geometric footprint, a plurality of foldable roof trusses connecting a centrally disposed roof assembly to either the telescopic posts or the wall trusses transversely forming the roof. The cover retaining system comprises various spring clips for known-size frame members, and various clamps for unknown-size frame members, to secure roof and wall cover to the frame structure. The ventilation system comprises an enclosure that can utilize standard furnace air filters and existing air circulation devices. Multiple frame structures can be linked together to scale up space.

  • Publication number: 20220221976
    Abstract: A virtual vertical surface in a three-dimensional space that represents a physical room may be detected. Responsive to a first user input gesture, movement of a virtual object within the three-dimensional space may be displayed. The movement may be to a first location in which a portion of the virtual object intersects a portion of the virtual vertical surface. A virtual vertical surface designator may be displayed corresponding to the virtual vertical surface based at least in part on the portion of the virtual object intersecting the portion of the virtual vertical surface. Upon determining that a second user input gesture meets or exceeds a movement threshold, movement of the three-dimensional object from the first location to a second location within the three-dimensional space may be displayed. The second location may appear beyond the virtual vertical surface.
