Publication number: 20190018505Abstract: An augmented reality system for communication between a plurality of user devices. The system includes a wearable device with a headset, controller, display, camera, earphone and microphone. The controller has a local memory with a maximum video file size. The camera records video data for storage in the local memory. A server is configured for data communication with the plurality user devices, the server has a server memory and plurality of user accounts. The server is configured to establish data connection between the wearable device and at least one other user device. A video management located is configured to determine whether the video data stored in the local memory equals the maximum video file size and in this event, the video management engine is configured to transfer the video data to the server for storage in the server memory and delete the video data from the local memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2017Publication date: January 17, 2019Applicant: ThirdEye Gen, IncInventor: Nikhil Cherukuri

Publication number: 20190018507Abstract: An electronic device includes a display for displaying data stored on the electronic device; input means; sensing means for sensing the three-dimensional position of the input means relative to the device; and control means for controlling the data displayed on the display in dependence on the three-dimensional position of the input means relative to the device. The input means includes a source of electromagnetic radiation for directing an infrared conical beam onto the display. The sensing means can sense the elliptical eccentricity of the electromagnetic radiation incident on the display to determine the angle at which it strikes the display, and can sense the area of the electromagnetic radiation incident on the display to determine the distance of the input means from the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2018Publication date: January 17, 2019Inventors: Robert Michael Lipman, Sarah Michelle Lipman
