Publication number: 20240126406Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality system orchestrating interactions between virtual object “augments.” The orchestration can include linking, which can be forming two or more augments into a combination, embedding an augment within an existing combination, or triggering an action mapped to the linking of those augments. Another type of orchestration can include extracting, which can refer to taking an augment out of an existing combination, either by removing it from the combination or copying the augment to leave a version in the combination and having another version outside the combination.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Michal HLAVAC, Benjamin Taylor WINN, Wai Leong CHAK, Jasper STEVENS, Alexander Michael LOUIE

Patent number: 11935208Abstract: A virtual object system can orchestrate virtual objects defined as a collection of components and with inheritance in an object hierarchy. Virtual object components can include a container, data, a template, and a controller. A container can define the volume the virtual object is authorized to write into. A virtual object's data can specify features such as visual elements, parameters, links to external data, meta-data, etc. The template can define view states of the virtual object and contextual breakpoints for transitioning between them. Each view state can control when and how the virtual object presents data elements. The controller can define logic for the virtual object to respond to input, context, etc. The definition of each object can specify which other object in an object hierarchy that object extends, where extending an object includes inheriting that object's components, which can be modified or overwritten as part of the extension.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Yeliz Karadayi, Wai Leong Chak, Michal Hlavac, Pol Pla I Conesa

Publication number: 20230196766Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a virtual object system for displaying invoked virtual objects in an artificial reality environment. An application can be defined as a collection of virtual objects, each having a definition that defines how and when each virtual object is displayed. For example, an invocation context can be defined for a virtual object, and the virtual object can be invoked when the invocation context is met. A virtual object manager can be provided to the artificial reality (“XR”) device that displays the virtual objects in the artificial reality environment. The virtual object manager can be capable of: selectively and dynamically retrieving virtual objects that are part of the application for on-device storage; and determining which of the application's virtual objects to display given current conditions (e.g., context for a user of the XR device and the device itself, currently displayed virtual objects, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Pol PLA I CONESA, Michal HLAVAC, Wai Leong CHAK, Yeliz KARADAYI

Publication number: 20230134355Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first image corresponding to a first frame of a video stream, rendering a first area of a second image corresponding to a second frame of the video stream, generating a second area of the second image corresponding to the second frame of the video stream by re-projecting the second area of the first image according to one or more warping parameters, and constructing the second image corresponding to the second frame by compositing the rendered first area and the generated second area of the second image. In another embodiment, a method includes an operating system receiving a set of data associated with an object from a first application, storing the set of data on the operating system, receiving a command to share the object with a second application, and allowing the second application to access the portion of the data associated with the object that it needs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Steven Paul Lansel, Todd Douglas Keeler, Rohit Rao Padebettu, Alexander Michael Louie, Michal Hlavac, Wai Leong Chak, Yeliz Karadayi

Publication number: 20220291808Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating functionality of XR devices and non-XR devices are disclosed herein. An XR device can identify and obtain one or more content items being displayed on non-XR devices and create virtual objects associated with the content item in an artificial reality environment of the XR device. A user of the XR device can interact with the virtual objects, such as by moving the virtual objects to new locations within the artificial reality environment or interact with the virtual objects to view the content items. The user of the XR device can also provide one or more gestures or commands to send content items or identifiers of content items associated with the virtual objects to non-XR devices for display at the non-XR devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Jasper STEVENS, Alexander Michael LOUIE, Michal HLAVAC, Benjamin Taylor WINN, Wai Leong CHAK

Patent number: 11232643Abstract: The present embodiments relate to generating 3D objects in an artificial reality environment and collapsing 3D objects into 2D images representing the 3D objects. Users operating extra reality (XR) devices controlling the artificial reality environment can collaboratively create or modify content in the artificial reality environment, using real-world creation objects (such as a hand of the user or a pen held by the user) to create 3D objects. In response to a user triggering a collapse for a 3D object, a 2D image of the 3D object can created, from the user's perspective. The 2D image can replace the 3D object in the artificial reality environment. Presenting the 2D image can reduce the amount of data, processing resources, and power needed to provide the artificial reality environment while also reducing clutter and cognitive load on the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Jasper Stevens, Etienne Pinchon, Jonathan Ravasz, Evgenii Krivoruchko, Wai Leong Chak
