  • VOLUMETRIC HEAT MAPS FOR INTELLIGENTLY DISTRIBUTING VIRTUAL OBJECTS OF INTEREST
    Publication number: 20240005618
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for intelligently distributing virtual objects within a 3D virtual space using a voxel-based heat map. The approach is highly flexible and scalable, and a designer may guide the placement of virtual objects using parameters that reference the voxel-based heat map. This technique affords designers expansive creative control over a wide-array of scenarios that involve placing a virtual object into a virtual 3D space.

  • SYSTEM FOR MULTI-USER COLLABORATION WITHIN A VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20230393648
    Abstract: Real-world users of an event simulation system can playback a digital representation of an event that is mapped onto a virtual model of a real-world venue to simulate the event being presented at a real-world venue. As the real-world users are viewing this virtual event, these users can virtually interact with the virtual event, for example, move around the virtual event to view the virtual event at various locations and/or modify parameters, characteristics, and/or attributes of the virtual event. Thereafter, the event simulation system can propagate these modifications across multiple real-world users of the event simulation system to allow these real-world users to collaboratively interact with the virtual event.
