Publication number: 20220345537Abstract: In one embodiment, an AR/VR system includes a social-networking application installed on the AR/VR system, which allows a user to access on online social network, including communicating with the user's social connections and interacting with content objects on the online social network. The AR/VR system also includes an AR/VR application, which allows the user to interact with an AR/VR platform by providing user input to the AR/VR application via various modalities. Based on the user input, the AR/VR platform generates responses and sends the generated responses to the AR/VR application, which then presents the responses to the user at the AR/VR system via various modalities.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Safiya Samms, Ioana Adriana Vlad, Marcus Tanner, Pieter De Baets, Nicole Lundblad, Gregory Francis Mazurek, Nicholas Ferianc Kamuda, Kimberly Arnette, Azam Jiva, Anshul Raizada, Chandra Shekar Chetty, Bhabani Panda

Patent number: 10373392Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for transitioning views presented via a head-mounted display device. One example method for operating a head-mounted display device includes displaying a virtual model at a first position in a coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device, receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the head-mounted display device, and determining a line of sight of the user that intersects the virtual model to identify a location the user is viewing. The example method further includes, responsive to a trigger, moving the virtual model to a second position in the coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device corresponding to the location the user is viewing and simultaneously scaling the virtual model.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jonathan R.
