Patent number: 11843755Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing methods for cloud-based rendering of interactive augmented reality (AR) and/or virtual reality (VR) experiences. A client device may initiate execution of a content application on a server and provide information associated with the content application to the server. The client device may initialize, while awaiting a notification from the server, local systems associated with the content application and, upon receipt of the notification, provide, to the server, information associated with the local systems. Further, the client device may receive, from the server, data associated with the content application and render an AR/VR scene based on the received data. The data may be based, at least in part, on the information associated with the local system. The providing and receiving may be performed periodically, e.g., at a rate to sustain a comfortable viewing environment of the AR/VR scene by a user of the client device.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: ZSPACE, INC.Inventors: Clifford S. Champion, Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Baifang Lu, Alex Shorey, Robert D. Kalnins

Patent number: 9848184Abstract: Systems and methods for a head tracked stereoscopic display system that uses light field type data may include receiving light field type data corresponding to a scene. The stereoscopic display system may track a user's head. Using the received light field type data and the head tracking, the system may generate three dimensional (3D) virtual content that corresponds to a virtual representation of the scene. The stereoscopic display system may then present the 3D virtual content to a user. The stereoscopic display system may present a left eye perspective image and a right eye perspective image of the scene to the user based on the position and orientation of the user's head. The images presented to the user may be updated based on a change in the position or the orientation of the user's head or based on receiving user input.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: David A. Chavez, Bruce J. Bell, Alexandre R. Lelievre, Jerome C. Tu, Christopher W. Sherman, Robert D. Kalnins, Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Francisco Lopez-Fresquet, Clifford S. Champion, Arthur L. Berman

Patent number: 9703400Abstract: Virtual plane and use in a stylus based three dimensional (3D) stereoscopic display system. A virtual plane may be displayed in a virtual 3D space on a display of the 3D stereoscopic display system. The virtual plane may extend from a stylus of the 3D stereoscopic display system. Content may be generated in response to a geometric relationship of the virtual plane with at least one virtual object in the virtual 3D space. The generated content may indicate one or more attributes of the at least one virtual object. The content may be presented via the 3D stereoscopic display system.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: zSpace, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Arthur L.
