Patent number: 11968475Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices, head-mounted display devices and methods for remote collaborations. In one example a computing device receives a first spatial mapping of a first environment and a second spatial mapping of a second environment. The computing device determines that a first volumetric space in the first environment and a second volumetric space in the second environment each satisfy at least one collaboration criterion. Based on this determination, an indication of the first volumetric space is displayed by a first display device in the first environment, and an indication of the second volumetric space is displayed by a second display device in the second environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Todd Michael Lyon, Jacob A. Bomgardner, Scott David Petill

Publication number: 20210279467Abstract: A head mounted display device is provided that includes a display device, a camera device, an input device, and a processor. The processor is configured to store a database of physical objects and virtual objects that have been associated with one or more semantic tags. The processor is further configured to receive a natural language input from a user via the input device and perform semantic processing on the natural language input to determine a user specified operation and identify one or more semantic tags indicated by the natural language input. The processor is further configured to select a target virtual object and a target physical object based on the identified one or more semantic tags, perform the determined user specified operation on the target virtual object based on the target physical object, and display the target virtual object at a physical location associated with the target physical object.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Scott D.
