Publication number: 20240119692Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting virtual content provided by an extended reality system. In some examples, a system determines a level of distraction of a user of the extended reality system due to virtual content provided by the extended reality system. The system determines whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than a threshold level of distraction, where the threshold level of distraction is determined based at least in part on one or more environmental factors associated with a real world environment in which the user is located. The system also adjusts one or more characteristics of the virtual content based on the determination of whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than the threshold level of distraction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Robert TARTZ, Jonathan KIES, Daniel James GUEST

Patent number: 11934572Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for extended reality (XR) operations. An XR system displays virtual content using a display according to display settings. The display settings can identify, for instance, a position, orientation, and/or size of the virtual content as displayed. The environment can be viewable using the display as the virtual content is displayed by the display, for example using a see-through display or a pass-through display. The imaging system can determine, based on one or more attributes of one or both eyes of the user of the imaging system, an extent of perception of the virtual content that is displayed using the display by the user. The attributes can identify, for instance, eye position, eye movement, pupil dilation, saccades, fixations, blinking, and/or squinting. The XR system can determine, based on the extent of perception of the virtual content by the user, a modification to the display settings.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Bijan Forutanpour, Jonathan Kies
