Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Interacting with Three-Dimensional Environments - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18091119 titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Interacting with Three-Dimensional Environments
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer system that displays virtual elements in a three-dimensional environment. The system also receives biometric data related to the respiration of a user. Based on the received data, the system can change the appearance of the virtual elements or keep them the same.
- The computer system displays virtual elements in a three-dimensional environment.
- The system receives biometric data related to the respiration of a user.
- If the biometric data meets certain criteria, the system changes the appearance of the virtual elements.
- If the biometric data does not meet the criteria, the system keeps the appearance of the virtual elements the same.
Potential Applications
- Virtual reality gaming: The system can enhance the gaming experience by changing the appearance of virtual elements based on the user's respiration.
- Virtual therapy: The system can be used in therapeutic applications to create a calming or stimulating environment based on the user's respiration.
- Fitness and wellness: The system can provide visual feedback during exercise or meditation sessions based on the user's respiration, encouraging proper breathing techniques.
Problems Solved
- Lack of user engagement: By changing the appearance of virtual elements based on the user's respiration, the system can enhance user engagement and immersion.
- Stress and anxiety management: The system can help create a more relaxing environment by adapting the virtual elements to the user's respiration, potentially aiding in stress and anxiety reduction.
- Breathing technique improvement: The system can provide real-time visual feedback on the user's respiration, helping them improve their breathing technique.
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience: The system provides a more immersive and engaging experience by dynamically changing the appearance of virtual elements.
- Personalized feedback: By adapting to the user's respiration, the system can provide personalized feedback and guidance.
- Stress reduction: The system's ability to create a calming environment based on the user's respiration can aid in stress reduction and relaxation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system displays a first computer-generated experience that includes displaying one or more virtual elements in a three-dimensional environment with a first appearance. While displaying the one or more virtual elements with the first appearance, the computer system receives biometric data corresponding to respiration of a first user. In response to receiving the biometric data: in accordance with a determination that the biometric data corresponding to the respiration of the first user meets first criteria, the computer system displays the one or more virtual elements in the three-dimensional environment with a second appearance that is different from the first appearance; and in accordance with a determination that the biometric data corresponding to the first user does not meet the first criteria, the computer system continues to display the one or more virtual elements in the three-dimensional environment with the first appearance.
