  • Patent number: 11570871
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically controlling zone interactions in a three dimensional virtual environment. A computing device provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to assign zone attributes to a zone, which is a volume of space in the virtual environment. A virtual object is assigned to the zone, as well as an interaction and a responsive operation that follows the detected interaction. The virtual object's position in the virtual environment corresponds to a physical object's position in a physical environment. For example, when the computing system detects that the virtual object has entered or left the zone, according to an assigned interaction, then an assigned operation is executed to control a physical device in the physical environment.

  • Patent number: 10852922
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically controlling a physical device. A tracking system monitors the locations of multiple physical objects, and their respective locations are updated in a virtual environment. Within the virtual environment, a first virtual object, corresponding to a first physical object, is paired with a dynamic zone that remains constant in shape and moves with the first virtual object. When a second virtual object, corresponding to a second physical object, enters the dynamic zone, then the physical device is triggered to act. For example, the physical device is a media projector or light that shines onto the current position of the dynamic zone, or the physical device is a robotic camera that points to the dynamic zone.
