Patent number: 11670321Abstract: A system includes a headset to capture sound and a visual signal of a local area including one or more sound sources. The system determines a strength of the audio signal and a portion of the visual signal associated with the audio signal, compares the strengths, selects the weaker signal, and augments the weaker signal. The headset accordingly presents augmented audio-visual content to a user, thereby enhancing the user's perception of the weak signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Cesare Valerio Parise, William Owen Brimijoin, II, Philip Robinson

Patent number: 11656835Abstract: Systems and methods for item acquisition by selection of a virtual object placed in digital environment are disclosed. A processor(s) and memory may be configured to receive a coordinate for placement of a 2D or 3D virtual object in a 3D digital environment, including a digital twin of a real-world location, control the display to display the virtual object when a position corresponding to the received coordinate is within a field of view of the image capture device. The system receives an input via the user interface for selecting virtual objects which are then tracked in both the real-world and 3D digital environment simultaneously. The system enabling the accurate updating and display of all augmented reality and virtual reality content and digital twin data for a seamless blend of both to provide a shared cross-modal experience for all users.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Inventor: Robert A.

Patent number: 11652654Abstract: Systems and methods are described in which the control of virtual activities is cooperatively shared among two or more interactive users. Within selected virtual actions, an initiation component is identified that, when enacted, automatically informs one or more shared-experience users of the intent by the initiator to complete the virtual action and triggers monitoring of the shared-experience users for indications signaling agreement to proceed. When the degree of agreement meets a predetermined threshold or is judged by the initiator to be adequate, the completion component of the virtual actions is enacted on all devices. Automatic incorporation of initiation and completion components during shared activities may allow for cooperative control of virtual activities without repeated and potentially monotonous questions and responses regarding when to proceed.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: KINOO, INC.Inventors: Lewis James Marggraff, Nelson George Publicover
