  • Patent number: 10533850
    Abstract: A method of rendering virtual content comprises capturing an image of a field of view of a user, extracting a set of map points based on the captured image, recognizing an object based on the extracted set of map points, retrieving semantic data associated with the recognized object and attaching the semantic data to object data associated with the recognized object, and inserting the recognized object data and the semantic data attached thereto into a virtual world model such that virtual content, when rendered at a user device of the user, is displayed in relation to the recognized object.

  • Patent number: 10527850
    Abstract: Configurations are disclosed for a health system to be used in various healthcare applications, e.g., for patient diagnostics, monitoring, and/or therapy. The health system may comprise a light generation module to transmit light or an image to a user, one or more sensors to detect a physiological parameter of the user's body, including their eyes, and processing circuitry to analyze an input received in response to the presented images to determine one or more health conditions or defects.

  • Patent number: 10521025
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interacting with virtual objects in a three-dimensional space using a wearable system are disclosed. The wearable system can be programmed to allow a user to interact with virtual objects using a user input device and poses. The wearable system can also automatically determine contextual information such as layout of the virtual objects in the user's environment and switch the user input mode based on the contextual information.

  • Publication number: 20190380793
    Abstract: A system for conducting a medical procedure includes a first camera-based 3-D motion sensor configured to generate signals related to the position of a procedure object in the operating room and a controller coupled to the camera-based 3-D motion sensor. The controller is configured to define a predetermined operational plan including positions of a procedure object over time, assign a desired time milestone for each position of the object in the predetermined operational plan, and automatically monitor progress of the procedure based at least in part upon one or more positions of the procedure object over time. The controller is further configured to compare the one or more positions with the desired time milestone, record data relating to an actual time for each position of the object compared with the desired time milestone, and use the data to provide a recommendation for a change to a future predetermined operational plan.

  • Publication number: 20190368868
    Abstract: A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.

  • Publication number: 20190328534
    Abstract: A system for implanting a prosthetic device includes a first component of the prosthetic device configured to be disposed in an actual joint and including a first feature. The system further includes a processing circuit configured to determine, based in part on a second component of the prosthetic device that is disposed on an actual bone of the actual joint, a placement of the first component on the same actual bone to obtain a desired relationship between the first component and the second component. The processing circuit is further configured to determine a relationship between the first component and the second component. The second component includes a second feature, and the determined relationship is based at least in part on the first feature and the second feature, and at least one of the first feature and the second feature includes a characteristic that is represented as a virtual feature.
