Publication number: 20240126406Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality system orchestrating interactions between virtual object “augments.” The orchestration can include linking, which can be forming two or more augments into a combination, embedding an augment within an existing combination, or triggering an action mapped to the linking of those augments. Another type of orchestration can include extracting, which can refer to taking an augment out of an existing combination, either by removing it from the combination or copying the augment to leave a version in the combination and having another version outside the combination.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Michal HLAVAC, Benjamin Taylor WINN, Wai Leong CHAK, Jasper STEVENS, Alexander Michael LOUIE

Patent number: 11947111Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial reality systems. Such systems provide projections a user can create to specify object interactions. For example, when a user wishes to interact with an object outside her immediate reach, she can use a projection to select, move, or otherwise interact with the distant object. The present technology also includes object selection techniques for identifying and disambiguating between objects, allowing a user to select objects both near and distant from the user. Yet further aspects of the present technology include techniques for interpreting various bimanual (two-handed) gestures for interacting with objects. The present technology further includes a model for differentiating between global and local modes for, e.g., providing different input modalities or interpretations of user gestures.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Jonathan Ravasz, Etienne Pinchon, Adam Tibor Varga, Jasper Stevens, Robert Ellis, Jonah Jones, Evgenii Krivoruchko

Patent number: 11941725Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by an operating system of a first artificial-reality device, receiving a notification that virtual objects are shared with the first artificial-reality device by a second artificial-reality device, where the virtual objects are shared by being placed inside a sender-side shared space anchored to a physical object. The method further includes the first artificial-reality device accessing descriptors of a physical object and a spatial-relationship definition between the physical object and a receiver-side shared space, detecting physical objects based on the descriptors, determining pose of the receiver-side shared space, detecting physical constraints within the receiver-side shares space, receiving display instructions for the virtual objects, and rendering the virtual objects on the first artificial-reality device in the receiver-side shared space.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Alexander Michael Louie, Michal Hlavac, Jasper Stevens

Patent number: 11762952Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality (XR) application system controlling applications in an artificial reality environment. In various cases, these controls include automatically suggesting XR applications by determining an XR context and identifying applications that match the XR context. These applications can be suggested to a user, who can authorize their execution, setting permissions for the application. In some cases, applications can be divided into components which can be progressively downloaded. By providing application suggestions relevant to the current context and progressively downloading application components, applications can appear ambient, rather than relying on users to constantly download, install, or activate applications. Permissions for applications may be revoked permanently or for certain situations—either through user permissions selections or automatically in response to determined user intents.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Michal Hlavac, Jasper Stevens, Arthur Zwiegincew, Alexander Michael Louie

Patent number: 11556172Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to viewpoint coordination of multiple users on artificial reality collaboration models. Multiple users can collaborate on 3D models in an artificial reality environment. Attention indicators can indicate to the other users where a user is looking or where the user is pointing. In some implementations, there is a central model that each user sees from her own perspective (e.g., in the center of a virtual table all users are seated around) and/or instances of the model that only an individual user sees or can manipulate. The user's attention indicators can be based on where the user is looking or pointing on the model instances. Additionally, attention indicators can be translated from a controlling user's perspective to a coordinate system defined by the model, which allows the indicators to be then presented in that model coordinate system for all users.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Jasper Stevens, Etienne Pinchon

Publication number: 20220291808Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating functionality of XR devices and non-XR devices are disclosed herein. An XR device can identify and obtain one or more content items being displayed on non-XR devices and create virtual objects associated with the content item in an artificial reality environment of the XR device. A user of the XR device can interact with the virtual objects, such as by moving the virtual objects to new locations within the artificial reality environment or interact with the virtual objects to view the content items. The user of the XR device can also provide one or more gestures or commands to send content items or identifiers of content items associated with the virtual objects to non-XR devices for display at the non-XR devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Jasper STEVENS, Alexander Michael LOUIE, Michal HLAVAC, Benjamin Taylor WINN, Wai Leong CHAK

Patent number: 11422669Abstract: An artificial reality system is described that renders, presents, and controls user interface elements within an artificial reality environment, and performs actions in response to one or more detected gestures of the user. In one example, an artificial reality system comprises a head-mounted display configured to output artificial reality content; a stylus; a stylus action detector configured to detect movement of the stylus, detect a stylus selection action, and after detecting the stylus selection action, detect further movement of the stylus; a UI engine configured to generate stylus movement content in response to detecting movement of the stylus, and generate a UI input element in response to detecting the stylus selection action; and a rendering engine configured to render the stylus movement content and the UI input element as overlays to the artificial reality content, and update the stylus movement content based on the further movement of the stylus.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: FACEBOOK TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Jonathan Ravasz, Jasper Stevens, Adam Tibor Varga, Etienne Pinchon, Simon Charles Tickner, Jennifer Lynn Spurlock, Kyle Eric Sorge-Toomey, Robert Ellis, Barrett Fox

Publication number: 20220261088Abstract: The disclosed technology can perform application controls in response to recognizing particular gestures. The disclosed technology can provide a launcher with virtual objects displayed in categories (e.g., history, pinned favorites, people, and a search area). The disclosed technology can perform a clone and configure input pattern, which clones a source virtual object into one or more cloned virtual objects with alternate configuration properties. The disclosed technology can perform a page or peel input pattern, which allows users to page between grids of virtual objects and facilitates peeling items out of the grid. The disclosed technology can perform a clutter and clear input pattern, which can expand multiple elements into individual views, while clearing other virtual objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Etienne PINCHON, John Jacob BLAKELEY, Michal HLAVAC, Jasper STEVENS
