  • Publication number: 20250199604
    Abstract: Mixed reality (MR) user interactions are enabled through a combination of eye tracking (user gaze determination) and secondary inputs such as finger gestures, hand gestures, eye gestures, wrist band device input, handheld controller input, and the like. A location of interest (LOI) may be identified in displayed content and/or the external environment through the user's gaze, fixation, and/or saccades, and then other actions, such as zoom, rotate, pan, move, open actionable menus, etc., may be performed on the LOI based on the secondary inputs.

  • Publication number: 20250069334
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing assisted scene capture for an artificial reality (XR) environment. Some implementations can obtain an XR space model corresponding to a real-world space, including walls, the ceiling, and the floor, using an XR system. Some implementations can then scan the real-world space and display a mesh corresponding to the scanned area overlaid onto a view of the real-world space. Some implementations can perform post-processing on the displayed mesh, which can include A) collapsing variations in the mesh corresponding to the walls, ceiling, or floor onto the XR space model; B) clipping the mesh to the XR space model for open doorways, windows, etc.; C) simplifying the mesh corresponding to the walls, ceiling, or floor; D) determining that the mesh is complete by identifying that a threshold percentage of the XR space model is covered by the mesh; or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11085788
    Abstract: In some implementations, a navigation service can provide a plurality of navigation instructions for a user to traverse a route to an intended destination. The navigation service can also identify at least one portion of the determined route that requires additional guidance based on one or more factors. For each portion of the route that requires additional guidance, the navigation service may generate one or more additional guidance instructions to be inserted within the plurality of navigation instructions, forming an enhanced set of instructions for traversing the route.

  • Patent number: 11085790
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can provide a map application providing a representation of a physical structure of venues (e.g., shopping centers, airports) identified by the application. In addition, the application can provide a route and/or turn-by-turn navigation instructions to a destination within a venue comprising one or more floors when desired by the user.
