TRANSITIONING CONTENT IN VIEWS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS USING ALTERNATIVE POSITIONAL CONSTRAINTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219822 titled 'TRANSITIONING CONTENT IN VIEWS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS USING ALTERNATIVE POSITIONAL CONSTRAINTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes devices, systems, and methods for detecting user interactions with a content object in a 3D environment and providing different views with different positional constraints.

  • The technology detects when a user interacts with a specific region of a physical environment.
  • It associates a content object with this region and provides a first set of views of the physical environment.
  • The content object is displayed using a first positional constraint in these views.
  • If an interaction is detected, a second set of views is provided.
  • The content object is displayed using a different positional constraint in these views.
  • The second positional constraint is different from the first positional constraint.

Overall, the patent application describes a system that can dynamically change the way a content object is displayed based on user interactions, providing a more immersive and interactive experience in a 3D environment.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that detects user interactions with a content object of a set of views of a three-dimensional (3D) environment and provides a different set of views with a different positional constraint. For example, an example process may include associating a content object with a region of a physical environment, providing a first set of views of the physical environment, wherein the content object is displayed using a first positional constraint when included in the first set of views, detecting an interaction associated with the region of the physical environment, and in accordance with detecting the interaction, providing a second set of views of the physical environment, wherein the content object is displayed using a second positional constraint when included in the second set of views, the second positional constraint different than the first positional constraint.
