Patent number: 10222981Abstract: Embodiments that relate to displaying holographic keyboard and hand images in a holographic environment are provided. In one embodiment depth information of an actual position of a user's hand is received from a capture device. The user's hand is spaced by an initial actual distance from the capture device, and a holographic keyboard image is displayed spatially separated by a virtual distance from a holographic hand image. The user's hand is determined to move to an updated actual distance from the capture device. In response, the holographic keyboard image is maintained spatially separated by substantially the virtual distance from the holographic hand image.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Rotem Bennet, Lewey Geselowitz, Wei Zhang, Adam G. Poulos, John Bevis, Kim Pascal Pimmel, Nicholas Gervase Fajt

Patent number: 9766806Abstract: Embodiments that relate to displaying holographic keyboard and hand images in a holographic environment are provided. In one embodiment depth information of an actual position of a user's hand is received. Using the depth information, a holographic hand image representing the user's hand is displayed in a virtual hand plane in the holographic environment. In response to receiving a keyboard activation input from the user and using the depth information, the holographic keyboard image is adaptively displayed in a virtual keyboard plane in the holographic environment at a virtual distance under the holographic hand image representing the user's hand.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Rotem Bennet, Lewey Geselowitz, Wei Zhang, Adam G.

Patent number: 9326033Abstract: A movie browsing system may use a combination of long term and session based preferences to help a user browse movies using microcategories. The user preferences may be stored as microcategory weights, where the session based weights may change during a session as the system learns the types of movies a user wishes to see at that time. The long term microcategory weights may change at a slower rate than the session weights. The system may present a diverse set of microcategories to a user in an effort to diverge the search and learn the user's current interest, and may refine the weights as the user browses to converge to a desired movie. A user interface may operate on a television screen with a minimum of user input controls to navigate the browsing system while still collecting user preferences.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kfir Karmon, Avigad Oron, Rotem Bennet, Noga Amit-Miller, Adi Diamant

Patent number: 9202313Abstract: Embodiments that relate to providing a low-latency interaction in a virtual environment are provided. In one embodiment an initial image of a hand and initial depth information representing an initial actual position are received. The initial image is projected into the virtual environment to an initial virtual position. A segmented version of the initial image is provided for display in the virtual environment at the initial virtual position. A subsequent image of the hand and depth information representing a subsequent actual position are received. The subsequent image is projected into the virtual environment to a subsequent virtual position. A segmented version of the subsequent image is provided for display at the subsequent virtual position. A collision is detected between a three-dimensional representation of the hand and a virtual or physical object.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Rotem Bennet, Avner Aharoni
