  • Patent number: 11204678
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to user interfaces for object exploration and manipulation within virtual reality environments may include a plurality of user interfaces that are presented responsive to various user inputs or interactions. For example, a first user interface may comprise a hover card that is presented responsive to a hover indication over an object, a second user interface may comprise a detail card that is presented responsive to a selection input associated with an object, and a third user interface may comprise a detail page having a plurality of detail panels that are presented responsive to a selection of a full details option associated with an object. Further, individual detail cards and detail panels may be graspable, movable, scrollable, and otherwise manipulatable by a user to facilitate object exploration.

  • Patent number: 11126320
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to user interfaces for virtual reality environments may include two-dimensional grid view user interfaces and three-dimensional side-by-side view user interfaces, and associated transitions therebetween. The two-dimensional grid view user interfaces may present images or models of a plurality of objects to users in a substantially flat, two-dimensional grid for viewing of objects. The three-dimensional side-by-side view user interfaces may present models of a plurality of objects to users in a substantially open, three-dimensional area for viewing and evaluation of three-dimensional models of objects.

  • Patent number: 11017611
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to generating and modifying a room or space within a virtual reality environment may comprise addition, removal, placement, modification, and/or resizing of a plurality of environment surfaces, such as a floor, walls, and ceiling, and/or a plurality of fixtures, such as doors, windows, or openings, associated with the environment surfaces, in which each environment surface and fixture includes associated dimensions. The environment surfaces and fixtures may be added, removed, placed, moved, and/or resized by a user. During such interactions, only a subset of dimensions relevant to the current functions or operations by the user may be presented to facilitate such functions or operations. Further, various aspects associated with environment surfaces and fixtures may be modified, such as paints, colors, materials, textures, or others.

  • Patent number: 10860190
    Abstract: Techniques for presenting and interacting with composite images on a computing device are described. In an example, the device presents a first article and a first portion of a first composite image showing a second article. The first composite image shows a first outfit combination that is different from the first outfit. The device receives a first user interaction indicating a request to change the second article and presents the first article and a second portion of a second composite image showing a clothing article in a second outfit. The second composite image shows a second outfit combination that is different from the first outfit, the second outfit, and the first outfit combination. The device receives a second user interaction indicating a request to use the third article and presents the second composite image showing the second outfit combination.
