Patent number: 10489984Abstract: A virtual reality headset system having a region configured to change its opacity is disclosed. The virtual reality headset system is configured to provide an immersive experience, but also to allow a user to see at least some portion of the outside world, at least some of the time. The headset has a casing that partially surrounds a display. The casing has an opening configured to receive the user's face. The casing has a region between the display and the user's face configured to change a degree of opacity. The region may be a window located in a non-front facing or lateral side of the casing.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Oscar Murillo, Roger Ibars Martinez, Jean-Louis Villecroze, Nema Rao

Patent number: 10306193Abstract: An integrated processing and projection device suitable for use on a supporting surface includes a processor and a projector designed to provide a display on the supporting surface proximate to the device. Various sensors enable object and gesture detection in a detection area in the display area. Trigger zones are defined in the detection area such that interaction of an object or human limb in the detection zone provides object and zone specific feedback by the integrated processing and projection device. The feedback can be provided in the projection area or may be provided as audible or active feedback to a device having active feedback capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Karon Weber, Federico Zannier, Jean-Louis Villecroze

Publication number: 20160329006Abstract: An integrated processing and projection device adapted to rest on a supporting surface provides interactivity between users in a projected display area projected by the device on the supporting surface. The integrated processing and projection device includes a processor and a projector designed to provide a display in the display area. Various sensors enable object and gesture detection in the display area. An interactive service, provided using the device or a network connected host, enables users of companion processing devices to interact in the display area of the integrated processing and projection device using the companion devices, via an interface in the display provide by the projector. Users without companion devices can interact with users of companion devices using an interface provided in the display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Applicant: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Karon Weber, Federico Zannier, Lorenz Henric Jentz, Matthew James Schoenholz, Jean-Louis Villecroze, Jessica May Michaels, Terry Sutherland

Publication number: 20160316113Abstract: An integrated processing and projection device adapted to be supported on a supporting surface. The device includes a processor and a projector designed to provide a display on the supporting surface of the device and adjacent to the device. Various sensors enable object and gesture detection in the display area. The technology integrates the various available sensors in the integrated processing and projection device to detect active and passive objects, as well as user gestures, in the display area using various techniques to integrate all available sensors and provide an accurate identification of such objects and gestures. The object and gesture detection may be utilized to provide feedback in the display area regarding the real object in the display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2015Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Federico Zannier, Jean-Louis Villecroze, Karon Weber
