International Classification:
G06F 3/0484
G06T 19/00
G06K 9/00
G06F 3/01
G06F 3/0482
Abstract:
Technologies described herein provide a mixed environment display of attached control elements. The techniques disclosed herein enable users of a first computing device to interact with a remote computing device configured to control an object, such as a light, appliance, or any other suitable object. Configurations disclosed herein enable the first computing device to cause one or more actions, such as a selection of the object or the display of a user interface, by capturing and analyzing input data defining the performance of one or more gestures, such as a user looking at the object controlled by the second computing device. Rendered graphical elements configured to enable the control of the object can be displayed with a real-world view of the object.

US Patent:
20180004308, Jan 4, 2018
Filed:
Jun 30, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/199742
Inventors:
Daniel Joseph McCulloch - Snohomish WA, US
Nicholas Gervase Fajt - Seattle WA, US
Adam G. Poulos - Sammamish WA, US
Christopher Douglas Edmonds - Carnation WA, US
Lev Cherkashin - Redmond WA, US

Edward D. Parker - Kirkland WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/03
G06F 3/038
G06F 3/01
G06F 3/0346
Abstract:
In embodiments of a camera-based input device, the input device includes an inertial measurement unit that collects motion data associated with velocity and acceleration of the input device in an environment, such as in three-dimensional (3D) space. The input device also includes at least two visual light cameras that capture images of the environment. A positioning application is implemented to receive the motion data from the inertial measurement unit, and receive the images of the environment from the at least two visual light cameras. The positioning application can then determine positions of the input device based on the motion data and the images correlated with a map of the environment, and track a motion of the input device in the environment based on the determined positions of the input device.

US Patent:
20180005445, Jan 4, 2018
Filed:
Jun 30, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/199831
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Nicholas Gervase Fajt - Seattle WA, US
Adam G. Poulos - Sammamish WA, US
Christopher Douglas Edmonds - Carnation WA, US

Assignee:
Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06T 19/00
G03H 1/00
G06F 3/01
Abstract:
In embodiments of augmenting a moveable entity with a hologram, an alternate reality device includes a tracking system that can recognize an entity in an environment and track movement of the entity in the environment. The alternate reality device can also include a detection algorithm implemented to identify the entity recognized by the tracking system based on identifiable characteristics of the entity. A hologram positioning application is implemented to receive motion data from the tracking system, receive entity characteristic data from the detection algorithm, and determine a position and an orientation of the entity in the environment based on the motion data and the entity characteristic data. The hologram positioning application can then generate a hologram that appears associated with the entity as the entity moves in the environment.

Control Device With Holographic Element

US Patent:
20170363867, Dec 21, 2017
Filed:
Jun 16, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/184681
Inventors:
Adam Poulos - Sammamish WA, US
Lorenz Henric Jentz - Seattle WA, US
Cameron Brown - Bellevue WA, US
Anthony Ambrus - Seattle WA, US
Arthur Tomlin - Kirkland WA, US
James Dack - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Kohler - Redmond WA, US

Edward Daniel Parker - Kirkland WA, US
Nicolas Denhez - Seattle WA, US
Benjamin Boesel - Cornelius NC, US
International Classification:
G02B 27/01
G06T 19/00
Abstract:
A head-mounted display device may display a holographic element with a portable control device. Image data of a physical environment including the control device may be received and used to generate a three dimensional model of at least a portion of the environment. Using position information of the control device, a holographic element is displayed with the control device. Using the position information, it is determined that the control device is within a predetermined proximity of either a holographic object or a physical object. Based on determining that the control device is within the predetermined proximity, the displayed holographic element is modified.

Location Based Audio Filtering

View page
US Patent:
20170357476, Dec 14, 2017
Filed:
Jun 14, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/182516
Inventors:
James Dack - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Kohler - Redmond WA, US
Shawn Wright - Sammamish WA, US
Denise Ng - Kirkland WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/16
H04R 3/00
H04W 8/20
H04W 64/00
Abstract:
Methods and systems for augmenting an audio signal are provided for herein. In some embodiments, a method can be performed by a sound processing system of a computing device. In such embodiments, the sound processing system can receive a captured audio signal from a microphone coupled with the sound processing system. The sound processing system can then produce an augmented audio signal by selectively filtering the captured audio signal based on a physical location of the computing device. This resulting augmented audio signal can reflect an effect associated with the physical location of the computing device. The augmented audio signal can then be output, by the sound processing system, to a speaker coupled with the computing device to enable consumption of the augmented audio signal by a user of the computing device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed herein.

User-Height-Based Rendering System For Augmented Reality Objects

View page
US Patent:
20170358138, Dec 14, 2017
Filed:
Jun 14, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/182490
Inventors:
James Gerard Dack - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Alan Kohler - Redmond WA, US
Shawn Crispin Wright - Sammamish WA, US
Anthony James Ambrus - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
G06T 19/00
G06F 3/01
Abstract:
In various embodiments, methods and systems for rendering augmented reality objects based on user heights are provided. Height data of a user of an augmented reality device can be determined. The height data relates to a viewing perspective from an eye level of the user. Placement data for an augmented reality object is generated based on a constraint configuration that is associated with the augmented reality object for user-height-based rendering. The constraint configuration includes rules that support generating placement data for rendering augmented reality objects based on the user height data. The augmented reality object is rendered based on the placement data. Augmented reality objects are rendered in a real world scene, such that, the augmented reality object is personalized for each user during an augmented reality experience. In shared experiences, with multiple users viewing a single augmented reality object, the object can be rendered based on a particular user's height.

Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein relate to providing a location-based holographic experience. One example provides a head-mounted display device comprising a see-through display, one or more position sensors, a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to obtain data representing a plurality of holographic objects, acquire sensor data via the one or more position sensors to monitor a position of the head-mounted display device along a path of a holographic experience, detect that the position of the head-mounted display device meets a first position-based condition regarding a first holographic object, and display the first holographic object at a corresponding location for the first holographic object.
