  • Patent number: 11137875
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is caused to be provided to an operator. The mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. The mixed-reality view is caused to include a visual tether to a tether location. The tether location is a real-world location at which work is to be performed. A gaze determination associated with a gaze of the operator is made. Responsive to a positive gaze determination, the visual tether is caused to pulse.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10936146
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is caused to be provided to an operator, wherein the mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. The operator is enabled to navigate among a plurality of steps of a task, such that for at least one step of the plurality of steps of the task, while the operator is navigated to the step of the task: the mixed-reality view is caused to include at least one instruction associated with the step. The mixed-reality view is caused to include a hologram at a real-world location in the real-world environment at which work associated with the step is to be performed. The mixed-reality view is caused to continually include a visual tether from the instruction to the real-world location.
