Abstract: Disclosed is a spatial computing system and associated methods that provide multi-modality interactions for precise and imprecise interactions with two-dimensional (“2D”) and three-dimensional (“3D”) user interfaces (“UI”) that are presented in a 3D interactive space. The multi-modality interactions are provided by a dynamic spatial pointer. The dynamic spatial pointer has a first 3D representation for navigating the 3D interactive space and selecting one of the presented UI elements. The dynamic spatial pointer converts from the first 3D representation to a different second 3D representation in response to attaching to one of the 3D UI elements, and converts to a first 2D representation in response to attaching to one of the 2D UI elements. The second 3D representation remains attached to and tracks the 3D form of the 3D UI element, and the first 2D representation remains attached to and tracks the 2D plane of the 2D UI element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computing system and associated methods that use changes in eye focus or the depth at which a user is looking to modify a user interface. The computing system presents a three-dimensional (“3D”) environment with different user interface (“UI”) elements that are positioned in a foreground or near plane of the 3D environment and that partially or wholly obscure a background or far plane of the 3D environment. The computing system detects a change in user eye focus from the foreground to the background by using a sensor to track changes to the pupil or the amount of light reflecting off the user's eye. The computing system produces an unobstructed view to all or part of the background by adjusting positioning, opacity, or other properties of the UI elements in the foreground in response to detecting the change in the user eye focus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and associated methods for the generative drawing and customization of three-dimensional (“3D”) objects in 3D space using hand gestures. The system adapts the hand gestures as intuitive controls for rapidly creating and customizing the 3D objects to have a desired artistic effect or a desired look. The system selects a 3D model of a particular object in response to a first user input, sets a position in a virtual space at which to generate the particular object in response to a mapped position of a first hand gesture tracked in a physical space, and generates a first state representation of the particular object at the position in the virtual space in response to a second hand gesture. The first state representation presents the particular object at one of different modeled stages of the particular object lifecycle.

Abstract: A user can create and customize a digital character, for instance an avatar, a playable video game character, or a rendering of a character. The user can likewise define characteristics of the character, including a physical appearance of the character, statistics associated with the character, accessories of the character, and the like. The digital character can be manufactured, producing a physical figurine, which can include an RFID device. An NFT can be generated based on the digital character, for based on one or more characteristics of the character, the user, or any other factor. The NFT can be associated with the figurine, with the user, with a user account of the user, with an identifier associated with the RFID device, and with the digital character. The figurine can be used to unlock one or more features of a gaming system, a game, an entertainment platform, or any other system.
