  • Patent number: 11270515
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses (or devices), methods, and computer-readable media are provided for generating virtual content. For example, a device (e.g., an extended reality device) can obtain an image of a scene of a real-world environment, wherein the real-world environment is viewable through a display of the extended reality device as virtual content is displayed by the display. The device can detect at least a part of a physical hand of a user in the image. The device can generate a virtual keyboard based on detecting at least the part of the physical hand. The device can determine a position for the virtual keyboard on the display of the extended reality device relative to at least the part of the physical hand. The device can display the virtual keyboard at the position on the display.

  • Patent number: 11159766
    Abstract: A device may be configured to determining display properties for virtual content in an environment with a plurality of physical participants by capturing an image of the environment, analyzing the captured image to identify at least one object in the environment, determining a parameter for the identified object, and determining a display property of a digital representation of virtual content based on the determined parameter. Embodiments may include negotiating display properties with other devices to generate coordinated display properties, and rendering the digital representation of the virtual content so that the remote participant appears to be in the same fixed position to all co-located participants and sized consistent with the co-located participants.

  • Patent number: 8836643
    Abstract: An adaptive user interface device capable of implementing multiple modes of input and configuration may adapt to current user inputs, and may include configuration changes. In an aspect, an adaptive user interface device may be configured for a finger sensing in a touchpad mode, and configured for stylus sensing in a digital tablet mode. In another aspect, surface features of the adaptive user interface device may change shape, such as by raising buttons in response to entering a keyboard or keypad mode. Various mechanisms may be used for raising buttons, and may enable presenting buttons in a variety of shapes and locations on the interface. The configuration of the adaptive user interface device may depend upon the user actions and user identity. Configuration modes may be organized according to many levels enabling a single user interface to support a large number of input options functionality within a limited surface area.
