  • APPLYING REAL WORLD SCALE TO VIRTUAL CONTENT
    Publication number: 20160210780
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for scaled viewing, experiencing and interacting with a virtual workpiece in a mixed reality. The system includes an immersion mode, where the user is able to select a virtual avatar, which the user places somewhere in or adjacent a virtual workpiece. The view then displayed to the user may be that from the perspective of the avatar. The user is, in effect, immersed into the virtual content, and can view, experience, explore and interact with the workpiece in the virtual content on a life-size scale.

  • Automated content scrolling
    Patent number: 9311718
    Abstract: Methods for controlling the display of content as the content is being viewed by an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) are described. In some embodiments, an HMD may display the content using a virtual content reader for reading the content. The content may comprise text and/or images, such as text or images associated with an electronic book, an electronic magazine, a word processing document, a webpage, or an email. The virtual content reader may provide automated content scrolling based on a rate at which the end user reads a portion of the displayed content on the virtual content reader. In one embodiment, an HMD may combine automatic scrolling of content displayed on the virtual content reader with user controlled scrolling (e.g., via head tracking of the end user of the HMD).
