  • Publication number: 20230236671
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing may display an artificial reality environment to a user wearing an artificial reality device. The artificial reality environment may include at least a first virtual object. The computing system may monitor a motion of a first gesture performed by the user when interacting with the first virtual object. The computing system may determine, using a motion-stabilization profile of the user, a motional range associated with the user. The computing system may compare the motion of the first gesture performed by the user with the motional range associated with the user. The computing system may stabilize one or more second gestures performed by the user during subsequent user interactions in the artificial reality environment responsive to determining that the motion of the first gesture performed by the user exceeds the motional range.

  • Patent number: 11687165
    Abstract: A method includes displaying an artificial reality environment to a user, determining a context in which the user is interacting with the artificial reality environment, and determining, based on the context, that the user intends to use a hand gesture to interact with a target virtual object within the artificial reality environment. The method further includes monitoring, while the user is attempting to interact with the target virtual object, motional patterns of the hand gesture performed by the user with respect to the target virtual object, and generating a motion-stabilization profile associated with the user based on the motional patterns. The motion-stabilization profile is configured to be utilized to stabilize the hand gesture performed by the user during subsequent user interactions within the artificial reality environment.

  • Patent number: 11150800
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) monitoring, at a computing device via one or more sensors, positions of one or more fingers of a user relative to an opposing thumb of the user, (2) detecting, while monitoring the positions, a pinch gesture of the one or more fingers, (3) determining one or more user inputs to which at least the pinch gesture has been mapped, and (4) performing, at the computing device, a user-input operation based on the one or more user inputs. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
