METHOD OF INTERACTING WITH OBJECTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18182300 Titled 'METHOD OF INTERACTING WITH OBJECTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods for interacting with objects and user interface elements in a computer-generated environment to create an efficient and intuitive user experience. It explains that users can interact with objects directly or indirectly, and in some cases, the manipulations of virtual objects are scaled while performing indirect manipulations. However, when performing direct manipulations, the manipulations of virtual objects are not scaled. The abstract also mentions that an object can be reconfigured from an indirect manipulation mode to a direct manipulation mode by moving the object to a specific position in the three-dimensional environment in response to a gesture.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods for interacting with objects and user interface elements in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, a user can directly or indirectly interact with objects. In some embodiments, while performing an indirect manipulation, manipulations of virtual objects are scaled. In some embodiments, while performing a direct manipulation, manipulations of virtual objects are not scaled. In some embodiments, an object can be reconfigured from an indirect manipulation mode into a direct manipulation mode by moving the object to a respective position in the three-dimensional environment in response to a respective gesture.
