Seth A. DAVIS has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11100713
    Abstract: Techniques for aligning a virtual object with a physical object in an Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) application are described. An electronic peripheral includes a first inertial measurement unit (“IMU”). A head mounted display includes a second IMU. An estimated attitude for the electronic peripheral is generated using data from the first IMU. An estimated attitude for the head mounted display is generated using data from the second IMU. An orientation of a virtual object is determined based on the estimated first and second attitudes, such that the virtual object is aligned with an object in a user's physical environment when the virtual object is displayed to the user. The virtual object is displayed on the head mounted display.

  • Publication number: 20180098437
    Abstract: A method for attaching a prefabricated miniature coaxial wire to a first electrical connection point, the prefabricated miniature coaxial wire having an electrically conductive core disposed within an electrical insulation layer disposed within an electrically conductive shield layer, includes attaching an exposed portion of the electrically conductive core at a distal end of the prefabricated miniature coaxial wire to the first electrical connection point, thereby establishing electrical conductivity between the electrically conductive core and the first electrical connection point, depositing a layer of electrically insulating material onto the exposed portion of the electrically conductive core such that the exposed portion of the electrically conductive core and the first electrical connection point is encased in the layer of electrically insulating material, and connecting the electrically conductive shield layer to a second electrical connection point using a connector formed from an electrically conduc
