  • Publication number: 20240118785
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to translate three-dimensional experiences into user accessible experiences to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. This is accomplished by extracting components from a three-dimensional environment such as user avatars and furniture. The components are organized into component groups based on shared attributes. The component groups are subsequently organized into a flow hierarchy. The flow hierarchy is then presented to the user in an accessibility environment that enables interoperability with various accessibility tools such as screen readers, simplified keyboard inputs, and the like. Selecting a component group, and subsequently, a component through the accessibility environment accordingly invokes functionality within the three-dimensional environment. In this way, users with disabilities are empowered to fully interact with three-dimensional experiences.

  • Publication number: 20220414988
    Abstract: A method comprising: receiving, from a user device at a first location, first image information of a surrounding environment of the user device; determining further image information of the surrounding environment of the user device at the first location, wherein the further image information is required for generating a spatial anchor in the model, wherein the spatial anchor point links the first real-world location of the user device to a corresponding location in the model; providing guidance information to the user device for capturing the further image information; receiving the further image information from the user device; and generating a spatial anchor point in the model based on the first image information and the further image information; wherein following generation of the spatial anchor point, the spatial anchor point is discoverable to one or more users of the model to provide information of the first location.
