DETERMINING AN ASSIGNMENT OF VIRTUAL OBJECTS TO POSITIONS IN A USER FIELD OF VIEW TO RENDER IN A MIXED REALITY DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104854 titled 'DETERMINING AN ASSIGNMENT OF VIRTUAL OBJECTS TO POSITIONS IN A USER FIELD OF VIEW TO RENDER IN A MIXED REALITY DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for determining the placement of virtual objects in a user's field of view in a mixed reality display based on their viewability and reward scores.

  • The reward score for a virtual object is calculated using an easiness score and frequency of interactions with the object.
  • The virtual object placement program uses the reward scores and viewability scores to assign virtual objects to positions in the user's field of view.
  • The assigned positions for virtual objects are then transmitted to the mixed reality display for rendering.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Augmented reality gaming
  • Virtual tours and experiences
  • Training simulations

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Optimizing the placement of virtual objects for better user experience
  • Enhancing the realism of mixed reality displays

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved user engagement
  • Enhanced immersion in mixed reality environments
  • Efficient utilization of display space

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application for this technology could be:

  • Developing mixed reality advertising campaigns

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Systems for determining the placement of virtual objects in virtual reality environments.

What are the technical specifications of the mixed reality display used in this system?

The technical specifications of the mixed reality display, such as resolution, field of view, and refresh rate, are not specified in the abstract.

How does the system handle occlusion of virtual objects in the user's field of view?

The abstract does not mention how the system handles occlusion of virtual objects in the user's field of view.


Original Abstract Submitted

provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining an assignment of virtual objects to positions in a user field of view to render in a mixed reality display. a reward score for a virtual object is calculated based on an easiness score indicating an easiness to view the virtual object in previous interactions with the virtual object and frequency of interactions with the virtual object. the reward scores and the viewability scores for the positions are inputted into a virtual object placement program to output an assignment of the virtual objects to the positions. the assignment of the virtual objects to the positions are transmitted to the mixed reality display to cause the mixed reality display to render the virtual objects at the positions in the field of view of the user indicated in the assignment.
