  • Patent number: 11995899
    Abstract: A head-mounted device (HMD) can be configured to determine a request for recognizing at least one content item included within content framed within a display of the HMD. The HMD can be configured to initiate a head-tracking process that maintains a coordinate system with respect to the content, and a pointer-tracking process that tracks a pointer that is visible together with the content within the display. The HMD can be configured to capture a first image of the content and a second image of the content, the second image including the pointer. The HMD can be configured to map a location of the pointer within the second image to a corresponding image location within the first image, using the coordinate system, and provide the at least one content item from the corresponding image location.

  • Patent number: 10965862
    Abstract: An interface is provided for navigating among views in a multi-camera environment. In addition to providing improved ease of use, such an interface also provides an overview of the scene represented by the captured video, by virtue of the positioning of various user interface elements representing different camera views. The navigation interface includes a number of selectable user interface elements, arranged in a fashion that approximates the physical positions of the cameras. Tapping or clicking on one of the elements causes a main window to display a current view from a corresponding camera or video feed. The navigation interface can be implemented, for example, in a live video capture system, or in a post-production system.
