  • Patent number: 9442567
    Abstract: Methods for enabling hands-free selection of virtual objects are described. In some embodiments, a gaze swipe gesture may be used to select a virtual object. The gaze swipe gesture may involve an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) performing head movements that are tracked by the HMD to detect whether a virtual pointer controlled by the end user has swiped across two or more edges of the virtual object. In some cases, the gaze swipe gesture may comprise the end user using their head movements to move the virtual pointer through two edges of the virtual object while the end user gazes at the virtual object. In response to detecting the gaze swipe gesture, the HMD may determine a second virtual object to be displayed on the HMD based on a speed of the gaze swipe gesture and a size of the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 9367136
    Abstract: Methods for providing real-time feedback to an end user of a mobile device as they are interacting with or manipulating one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment are described. The real-time feedback may comprise visual feedback, audio feedback, and/or haptic feedback. In some embodiments, a mobile device, such as a head-mounted display device (HMD), may determine an object classification associated with a virtual object within an augmented reality environment, detect an object manipulation gesture performed by an end user of the mobile device, detect an interaction with the virtual object based on the object manipulation gesture, determine a magnitude of a virtual force associated with the interaction, and provide real-time feedback to the end user of the mobile device based on the interaction, the magnitude of the virtual force applied to the virtual object, and the object classification associated with the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 9245387
    Abstract: Methods for positioning virtual objects within an augmented reality environment using snap grid spaces associated with real-world environments, real-world objects, and/or virtual objects within the augmented reality environment are described. A snap grid space may comprise a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual space within an augmented reality environment in which one or more virtual objects may be positioned. In some embodiments, a head-mounted display device (HMD) may identify one or more grid spaces within an augmented reality environment, detect a positioning of a virtual object within the augmented reality environment, determine a target grid space of the one or more grid spaces in which to position the virtual object, determine a position of the virtual object within the target grid space, and display the virtual object within the augmented reality environment based on the position of the virtual object within the target grid space.

  • Patent number: 7861305
    Abstract: A method for malware detection, wherein the method includes: utilizing a hardware based program flow monitor (PFM) for embedded software that employs a static analysis of program code; marrying the program code to addresses, while considering which central processing unit (CPU) is executing the program code; capturing an expected control flow of the program code, and storing the control flow as physical address pairs of leaders and followers (LEAD-FOLL pair) in a Metadata Store (MDS) within the PFM; monitoring control flow at runtime by the PFM; and comparing runtime control flow with the expected control flow.
