  • Publication number: 20250168206
    Abstract: A system includes one or more cameras, one or more display devices, one or more processors, and memory storing instructions that configure the system to perform operations to initiate or join a collaborative computing session. The method may comprise receiving user input to initiate a new collaborative computing session, determining that a current collaborative computing session of the same type is in progress on a second, physically-present device, based on determining that the current collaborative computing session is in progress on the second, physically-present device, providing a user input option to join the current collaborative computing session using the first device instead of starting the new collaborative computing session.

  • Patent number: 12231472
    Abstract: A head-worn device system includes one or more cameras, one or more display devices and one or more processors. The system also includes a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the system to perform operations to initiate or join a joint visual computing session. The method may comprise receiving user input to initiate a joint session of a visual computing experience, monitoring for short-range data transmissions including data indicating the existence of a current session of the visual computing experience, and based on determining that a current session is in progress, providing a user input option to join the current session of the visual computing experience.

  • Publication number: 20230154445
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing a music creation interface using a head-mounted device, including displaying first and second geometric loops fixed relative to a location in the real world, the first and second geometric loops each including a plurality of beat indicators. The second geometric loop is spaced apart from the first geometric loop. An interface comprising a plurality of sound or note icons is displayed, and in response to receiving user selection to move a selected sound or note icon to a particular beat indicator on one of the geometric loops, the selected sound or note icon is displayed at the particular beat indicator. In use, the geometric loops are rotated relative to at least one play indicator, and the selected sound or note icon is rendered when it reaches the at least one play indicator.
