  • Saving content for viewing on a virtual reality rendering device
    Patent number: 11402980
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering VR content at a VR rendering device include identifying, by a content facilitator, that that first content presented via a first device to a user includes metadata indicating availability of second content. The second content includes at least one of a three-dimensional (3D) video, 360° image, or virtual reality (VR) content. The content facilitator provides an interface element to the user at the first device responsive to the metadata indicating availability of the second content. The content facilitator receives a user selection of the interface element. The content facilitator provides access to the second content via a VR rendering device for the user responsive to the user selection. The VR rendering device is configured to render the second content.

  • Device specific data in a unified pointer message
    Patent number: 9274622
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a unified pointer message 300 may describe in a single type of pointer message a coordinate input from a user via multiple types of pointer devices. An input device interface 150 may receive a coordinate input 350 from an input device. A processor 120 may execute an application programming interface layer 430 that creates a unified pointer message 300 for the coordinate input 350. The processor 120 may send the unified pointer message 300 to an application. The processor 120 may process a device specific data set 244 unhandled by the application.
