  • Publication number: 20230377744
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include establishing a virtual boundary for a virtual-world environment in reference to a real-world environment, and determining whether the virtual boundary requires a correction. The method may include providing, in response to determining that the virtual boundary requires the correction, and alert and, in response to the alert, receiving a request from a user to modify the virtual boundary. The method may further include monitoring, in response to the request from the user, an orientation of a direction indicator to generate orientation data, and modifying the virtual boundary based on the orientation data. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11244483
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an indication of a reference elevation representing a plane of a real-world environment and establishing, with respect to the reference elevation, a virtual boundary for a virtual-world environment. The method may include receiving a request from a user to modify the virtual boundary and in response to the request from the user, monitoring an orientation of a direction indicator to generate orientation data. The method may also include modifying the virtual boundary based on the reference elevation and the orientation data. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10859831
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an indication of a baseline elevation representing a base plane of a real-world environment, receiving a request via a user device to initiate a boundary definition state, monitoring an elevation and an orientation of the user device during manipulation to generate elevation data and orientation data during the boundary definition state, and defining a virtual boundary in a virtual-world environment based on the baseline elevation, the elevation data, and the orientation data. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
