  • Patent number: 11402980
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering VR content at a VR rendering device include identifying, by a content facilitator, that that first content presented via a first device to a user includes metadata indicating availability of second content. The second content includes at least one of a three-dimensional (3D) video, 360° image, or virtual reality (VR) content. The content facilitator provides an interface element to the user at the first device responsive to the metadata indicating availability of the second content. The content facilitator receives a user selection of the interface element. The content facilitator provides access to the second content via a VR rendering device for the user responsive to the user selection. The VR rendering device is configured to render the second content.

  • Patent number: 8933912
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing a touch interface for electronic devices. The touch interface can be any surface. As one example, a table top can be used as a touch sensitive interface. In one embodiment, the system determines a touch region of the surface, and correlates that touch region to a display of an electronic device for which input is provided. The system may have a 3D camera that identifies the relative position of a user's hands to the touch region to allow for user input. Note that the user's hands do not occlude the display. The system may render a representation of the user's hand on the display in order for the user to interact with elements on the display screen.
