  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18123833 Titled 'Transposing Virtual Objects Between Viewing Arrangements'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes various devices, systems, and methods for determining the placement of virtual objects in a collection of virtual objects when transitioning from one viewing arrangement to another. The method involves displaying a set of virtual objects in a first arrangement, obtaining a user input to switch to a second arrangement, and determining a mapping between the two arrangements based on the spatial relationships between the virtual objects. The set of virtual objects is then displayed in the second arrangement.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for determining a placement of virtual objects in a collection of virtual objects when changing from a first viewing arrangement to a second viewing arrangement based on their respective positions in one of the viewing arrangements. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a set of virtual objects in a first viewing arrangement in a first region of an environment. The set of virtual objects are arranged in a first spatial arrangement. A user input corresponding to a request to change to a second viewing arrangement in a second region of the environment is obtained. A mapping is determined between the first spatial arrangement and a second spatial arrangement based on spatial relationships between the set of virtual objects. The set of virtual objects is displayed in the second viewing arrangement in the second region of the environment.
