Publication number: 20240201493Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2024Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Jonathan RAVASZ, Etienne PINCHON, Adam Tibor VARGA, Jasper STEVENS, Robert ELLIS, Jonah JONES, Evgenii KRIVORUCHKO

Method and Apparatus for Supporting User Interactions with Non-Designated Locations on a Digital Map
Publication number: 20240086040Abstract: A mapping system allows a user to interact with any location on a digital map and present the user with location related information associated with the selected location. The location related information may be in the form or a card, pop-up, image, or other graphic and may be displayed on the map at or near the selected location, around the map, etc. The displayed location related information may include predetermined or pre-stored data about the location or may include location related information collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction with the digital map. The displayed location related information may be displayed in the same graphical format on the digital map regardless of whether location related information is predetermined information about the location that already exists or information that is collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kelvin Ho, Jonah Jones, Yatin Chawathe, Bernhard Seefeld, Paul Merrell, Alirez Ali, Jonathan Siegel, Daniel Otero, Su Chuin Leong -

Patent number: 11170576Abstract: A progressive display system can compute a virtual distance between a user and virtual objects. The virtual distance can be based on: a distance between the user and an object, a viewing angle of the object, and/or a footprint of the object in a field of view. The progressive display system can determine where the virtual distance falls in a sequence of distance ranges that correspond to levels of detail. Using a mapping between content sets for the object and levels of detail that correspond to distance ranges, the progressive display system can select content sets to display in relation to the object. As the user moves, the virtual distance will move across thresholds bounding the distance ranges. This causes the progressive display system to select and display other content sets for the distance range in which the current virtual distance falls.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Jonathan Ravasz, Etienne Pinchon, Adam Varga, Jasper Stevens, Robert Ellis, Jonah Jones

Patent number: 11086406Abstract: A hand interaction system can use a three-state model to differentiate between normal hand movements, such as reaching for an object, and hand input gestures. The three-state model can specify a sequence of states including: 1) a neutral state, 2) a tracking state, and 3) an active state. In the neutral state, the hand interaction system monitors for a gesture signaling a transition to the tracking state but does not otherwise interpret a gesture corresponding to the active state as input. Once a gesture causes a transition to the intermediate tracking state, the hand interaction system can recognize a further active state transition gesture, allowing active state interaction. Thus, the monitoring for the intermediate tracking state provides a gating mechanism, making it less likely that the hand interaction system will interpret hand movements as input when not so intended by the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Jonathan Ravasz, Etienne Pinchon, Adam Varga, Jasper Stevens, Robert Ellis, Jonah Jones
