Patent number: 11884157Abstract: An apparatus and methods for rotating a console display device of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus includes a display device; a rotation mechanism connected to the display device and configured to rotate the display device between a portrait orientation and a landscape orientation; a touch bar having at least one button; and a memory storing instructions. The instructions include receiving a request from a user via the touch bar to rotate the display device from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation; sending a message to the user via the display device providing a time for the user to cancel the request; executing, via the rotation mechanism, a rotation of the display device from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation after the provided time to cancel the request elapses; and sending a signal to disable vehicle movement.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Fisker Inc.Inventors: Henrik Fisker, Todd Omotani, Nadya Arnaout

Patent number: 9710130Abstract: A user input for a near-eye, see-through display device is disclosed. Hands-free user input in an augmented reality environment is provided for. A user can provide input by moving the orientation of their head. For example, the user could rotate their head. In one aspect, a user can provide input by moving their eye gaze along a direction. In one aspect, when the user directs their attention at a user interface symbol, a handle extends away from the user interface symbol. The handle may serve as a type of selection device such that if the user directs their attention along the handle, away from the user interface symbol, a selection can be made. “As one example, the selection causes a spoke menu to appear which the user can select by rotating their head such that the system determines the user is looking along the spoke away from a central hub.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kathleen Mulcahy, Aaron Burns, Todd Omotani, Felicia Williams, Jeff Cole, Tim Psiaki

Patent number: 9508195Abstract: Methods for managing content within an interactive augmented reality environment are described. An augmented reality environment may be provided to an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) in which content (e.g., webpages) may be displayed to the end user using one or more curved slates that are positioned on a virtual cylinder that appears body-locked to the end user. The virtual cylinder may be located around the end user with the end user positioned in the middle of the virtual cylinder such that the one or more curved slates appear to be displayed at the same distance from the end user. The position and size of each of the one or more curved slates may be controlled by the end user using head gestures and a virtual pointer projected onto the virtual cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Van Den Heuvel, Ken Ouellette, Ben Sugden, Todd Omotani, Marcus Tanner, Greg Alt, Michael Hale, Jeff Sutherland
