  • Publication number: 20160070356
    Abstract: A “PiMovs System” provides a “physically interactive manifestation of a volumetric space” (i.e., PiMovs). The perimeter of a geometric framework is wrapped with contiguous display surfaces to cover each section of the perimeter with adjacent display surfaces. Additional contiguous display surfaces may cover top and/or bottom surfaces of the framework, with some edges of those display surfaces also adjacent edges of display surfaces on the perimeter. Sensors track positions and natural user interface (NUI) inputs of users within a predetermined zone around the framework. A contiguous volumetric projection is generated and displayed over the framework via the display surfaces as a seamless wrapping across each edge of each adjacent display surface. This volumetric projection is then automatically adapted to tracked user positions and NUI inputs.

  • Patent number: 7590553
    Abstract: Systems and methods integrate various types of scheduling information to create a single spatial view of a schedule. The spatial view enables observation of one's schedule at a glance and reduces the need for accessing additional information from other sources in order to comprehend scheduling information. Thus, users can access information regarding the time, location, and subject matter of appointments and/or events in a single location without the hassle of looking back and forth between various information sources. This helps users meet their scheduled appointments and events in an on-time and prepared manner.
