METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUALIZING A COMPUTER ACCESSORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028109 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUALIZING A COMPUTER ACCESSORY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a system that incorporates a subject disclosure. The system includes a device that receives a signal from an accessory device in an operational space. It determines hand feature information based on the signal and accesses device location information associated with the accessory device. The device then generates hand-device interaction information using the hand feature information and device location information, and transmits this information to a virtual reality system. The virtual reality system uses the hand-device interaction information to generate a virtual hand and a virtual accessory device in a virtual reality image.

  • The system receives a signal from an accessory device in an operational space.
  • It determines hand feature information based on the signal.
  • It accesses device location information associated with the accessory device.
  • It generates hand-device interaction information using the hand feature information and device location information.
  • It transmits the hand-device interaction information to a virtual reality system.
  • The virtual reality system generates a virtual hand and a virtual accessory device in a virtual reality image based on the hand-device interaction information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual reality gaming and simulations
  • Virtual training and education
  • Virtual design and prototyping
  • Virtual collaboration and communication

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhances user interaction and immersion in virtual reality environments
  • Provides more realistic and intuitive hand-device interaction in virtual reality
  • Enables accurate tracking and representation of hand and accessory movements in virtual reality

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience and engagement in virtual reality
  • Enhanced realism and immersion in virtual reality environments
  • Increased accuracy and precision in hand-device interaction in virtual reality
  • Expanded possibilities for virtual reality applications and experiences


Original Abstract Submitted

a system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, device may perform operations for receiving a signal from an operational space associated with an accessory device, determining hand feature information according to the signal, accessing device location information associated with the computing accessory device, generating hand-device interaction information according to the hand feature information and device location information associated with the accessory device, and transmitting the hand-device interaction information to a virtual reality system, wherein the virtual reality system generates, according to the hand-device interaction information, a virtual hand and a virtual accessory device in a virtual reality image. additional embodiments are disclosed.
