  • Publication number: 20220326967
    Abstract: Devices, methods, systems, and media are described for providing an extended screen distributed user interface in an augmented reality environment. GUI layout information for laying out a conventional 2D GUI is processed in order to generate an extended screen DUI for display partially on a 2D display device and partially on one or more virtual screens of an AR environment viewed using an AR display device, such as a head mounted display. GUI elements are laid out in the DUI based on a primary modality of the GUI element (input or output), and/or based on spatial dependencies between GUI elements encoded in the GUI layout information. Methods for switching focus between two software application instances displayed in the DUI are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11327630
    Abstract: Devices, methods, systems, and media are described for selecting virtual objects for user interaction in an extended reality environment. Distant virtual objects are brought closer to the user within a virtual 3D space to situate the selected virtual object in virtual proximity to the user's hand for direct manipulation. A virtual object is selected by the user based on movements of the user's hand and/or head that are correlated or associated with an intent to select a specific virtual object within the virtual 3D space. As the user's hand moves in a way that is consistent with this intent, the virtual object is brought closer to the user's hand within the virtual 3D space. To predict the user's intent, hand and head trajectory data may be compared to a library of kinematic trajectory templates to identify a best-matched trajectory template.

  • Patent number: 11173561
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method for processing probe. Firstly, a clamping member of a rotation shaft is clamped with a workpiece, and then the workpiece is moved to a processed area by the rotation shaft. The workpiece is rotated by the rotation shaft, and an electrochemical process of the workpiece is performed under the rotation of the shaft and an electrolyte sprayed between the workpiece and the polished module. During the performing of the electrochemical process, it can be that the rotation shaft is moved a processing distance or the included angle of the polish module is changed, for a probe being accomplished from the workpiece. Thereby, the abrasion of the polish module is lower and the performance for processing the probe under the electrochemical process.
