  • Patent number: 10708704
    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) device is provided that includes a display, a position and orientation sensor, and speakers. The HMD device includes a processor configured to receive map data of a three-dimensional environment, receive a three-dimensional data set, detect a predefined feature in the three-dimensional data set, place a spatial audio emitter anchor in the three-dimensional environment in a location where the feature was detected, the spatial audio emitter having an emitter boundary, determine a current location of a user in the virtual environment based on a signal from the sensor, display the map data of the three-dimensional environment with a graphical representation of the three-dimensional data set based on the determined current location of the user, and responsive to determining that the location of the user is outside of the boundary, play the spatial audio emitter in a spatial audio mode via the near-ear speakers.

  • Patent number: 10620779
    Abstract: Technology is proposed to enable navigating a holographic image. A moving object, such as a hand, is tracked and a gesture is recognized. In response to recognizing the gesture, a virtual shape is created at the location of the recognized gesture. The shape has at least one dimension. The holographic image is moved based on current position of the moving object with respect to the virtual shape.
