Publication number: 20240087201Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating interactive avatars that can be pinned as world-locked artificial reality content. Once pinned, an avatar can interact with the environment according to contextual queues and rules, without active control by the avatar owner. An interactive avatar system can configure the avatar with action rules, visual elements, and settings based on user selections. Once an avatar is configured and pinned to a location by an avatar owner, when other XR devices are at that location, a central system can provide the avatar (with its configurations) to the other XR device. This allows a user of that other XR device to discover and interact with the avatar according to the configurations established by the avatar owner.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Campbell ORME, Matthew Adam HANSON, Daphne LIANG, Matthew ROBERTS, Fangwei LEE, Bryant Jun-Yao TANG

Patent number: 11064752Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus for use in reducing the impact to the head during sporting activities. The present disclosure provides a helmet cap that covers an underlying hard shell helmet. The helmet cap has a durable, energy absorbing outer shell, which lessens the initial impact to the helmet. The outer shell is formed into segments of padded material that may deform on impact. The outer shell has an inner surface that allows the outer shell to slide over the surface of a helmet thereby reducing forces applied to a wearer. The helmet cap may be securely attached to helmets without modification of the helmets. The helmet cap may include an adjustable fastener that allows the helmet cap to be securely attached to helmets of varying dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: GUARDIAN INNOVATIONS, LLCInventors: Erin Nemec Hanson, Wallace Lee Hanson, Jr.
