SHARED CONTROL OF A VIRTUAL OBJECT BY MULTIPLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036805 titled 'SHARED CONTROL OF A VIRTUAL OBJECT BY MULTIPLE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure involves a system that allows multiple users to share control of a virtual object displayed on a first device, such as part of an augmented reality experience. The system includes a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate this shared control. When a user provides input indicating a modification to the virtual object, it is received and the virtual object is modified accordingly. The modified virtual object is then displayed on a second device.

  • The system enables shared control of a virtual object by multiple users.
  • The virtual object is displayed on a first device, overlaid on a real-world environment in an augmented reality experience.
  • User input indicating a modification to the virtual object is received.
  • The virtual object is modified based on the received input.
  • The modified virtual object is displayed on a second device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Collaborative design and creation of virtual objects in augmented reality.
  • Multiplayer gaming experiences where users can interact with and modify shared virtual objects.
  • Virtual training simulations where multiple users can manipulate and modify objects in a shared virtual environment.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Facilitates collaboration and shared control of virtual objects, enhancing the user experience in augmented reality.
  • Enables real-time modification and interaction with virtual objects, promoting engagement and creativity.
  • Allows for seamless integration of virtual objects into the real-world environment, enhancing the immersion of augmented reality experiences.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced collaboration and communication among users in augmented reality settings.
  • Increased interactivity and engagement in augmented reality experiences.
  • Improved user experience through shared control and modification of virtual objects.


Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate a shared control of a virtual object by two or more users. a virtual object is displayed by a first device, for example, as part of an augmented reality experience where the display of the object is overlaid on a real-world environment. user input indicative of a modification to the virtual object is received. the virtual object is modified, and a modified virtual object is displayed by a second device.
