Patent number: 12141927Abstract: Methods and systems for rendering augmented reality display data to locations of a physical presentation environment based on a presentation configuration are provided. A physical presentation environment configuration may be accessed that includes locations of a physical presentation environment for mapping augmented reality display data. The augmented reality display data may include a plurality of augmented reality objects that are rendered for display. Presentation attributes of the augmented reality display data may be used in conjunction with the presentation configuration for mapping and rendering the augmented reality display data. The rendered augmented reality display data may be dynamically interactive, and may be generated based on previous presentation configurations, mapping preferences, mapping limitations, and/or other factors.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michel Pahud, Nathalie Riche, Eyal Ofek, Christophe Hurter, Steven Mark Drucker

Patent number: 11841998Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that are directed to automatically adjusting a user interface based on tilt position of a digital drawing board. The digital drawing board has a tiltable screen with a sensor. The tiltable screen may be fixed in a stable tilt position. A sensor is used to determine that the digital drawing board has a first tilt position. The digital drawing board displays a first user interface associated with the first tilt position. The first user interface may be associated with a first use mode, and may also be based on an application running on the digital drawing board. When the sensor senses that the digital drawing board has moved from the first tilt position to a second tilt position, it automatically displays a second user interface associated with a second tilt position. The second user interface may be associated with a second use mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kenneth Paul Hinckley, Hugo Karl Denis Romat, Christopher Mervin Collins, Nathalie Riche, Michel Pahud, Adam Samuel Riddle, William Arthur Stewart Buxton

Publication number: 20230350628Abstract: Users can intuitively and non-obstructively obtain awareness of fellow collaborator views and/or statuses in an augmented reality environment. An interaction is detected between a first and second HMD. The detected interaction can cause the first HMD to request state information associated with the second HMD. The second HMD can process the request to generate a set of visual data as a response to the request. The second HMD can communicate the set of visual data to the first HMD, so that the first HMD can render the received set of visual data to be displayed concurrently with its own augmented view. Additional computer-generated object(s) can be positioned in accordance with a real-world or virtualized position of the second HMD, such that the now-visible state information associated with the second HMD does not obstruct a view of the first or second HMD's user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Michel PAHUD, Nathalie RICHE, Eyal OFEK, Christophe HURTER

Patent number: 11782669Abstract: Various systems and techniques for intuitively and non-obstructively obtaining awareness of fellow collaborator views and/or statuses in an augmented reality environment are disclosed. An interaction is detected between a first and second HMD, both collaborative participants of a shared dataset represented in an augmented reality environment. The detected interaction can cause the first HMD to request state information associated with the second HMD. The second HMD can process the request in accordance with a privacy policy to generate a set of visual data as a response to the request. The second HMD can communicate the generated set of visual data to the first HMD, such that the first HMD can render the received set of visual data as additional computer-generated object(s) to be displayed concurrently with its own augmented view.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Michel Pahud, Nathalie Riche, Eyal Ofek, Christophe Hurter

Patent number: 11543947Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing a multi-device mixed interactivity system are provided. The interactivity system includes paired mixed-input devices for interacting and controlling virtual objects. In operation, a selection profile associated with a virtual object is accessed. The selection profile is generated based on a selection input determined using real input associated with a selection device and virtual input associated with a mixed-reality device. The selection device has a first display and the mixed-reality device has a second display that both display the virtual object. An annotation input for the virtual object based on a selected portion corresponding to the selection profile is received. An annotation profile based on the annotation input is generated. The annotation profile includes annotation profile attributes for annotating a portion of the virtual object. An annotation of the selected portion of the virtual reality object is caused to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Michel Pahud, Nathalie Riche, Eyal Ofek, Christophe Hurter, Steven Mark Drucker

Patent number: 11068111Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling user-interactions with virtual objects (VOs) included in immersive environments (IEs) are provided. A head-mounted display (HMD) device is communicatively coupled with a hover-sensing (HS) device, via a communication session. The HMD device provides an IE to a wearer by displaying a field-of-view (FOV) that includes a VO. The user executes user-interactions, such as 2D and/or 3D hand gestures, fingertip gestures, multi-fingertip gestures, stylus gestures, hover gestures, and the like. The HS device detects the user-interactions and generates interaction data. The interaction data is provided to the HMD device via the communication session. The HMD device updates the FOV and/or the VO based on the interaction data. A physical overlay that includes a 3D protrusion is coupled with the HS device. The overlay is transparent to the hover-sensing capabilities of the HS device. The protrusion provides tactile feedback to the user for the user-interactions.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Michel Pahud, Nathalie Riche, Eyal Ofek, Christophe Hurter, Sasa Junuzovic

Patent number: 10699491Abstract: Systems and techniques from displaying virtual representations of real-world spaces and objects in various environments are disclosed. A source environment at a first location can be scanned by a head-mounted display (HMD) device to generate three-dimensional datasets corresponding to the physical environment at the first location. The three-dimensional datasets can include detected physical properties associated with the physical environment. At a second location, the HMD can re-create the source environment, and render for display a virtual representation of the physical environment based on the three-dimensional datasets, where the virtual representation of the source environment is rendered to maintain any one of the detected physical properties associated with the physical environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Michel Pahud, Nathalie Riche, Eyal Ofek, Christophe Hurter
