PHYSICAL COMPANION DEVICES FOR USE WITH EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222967 titled 'PHYSICAL COMPANION DEVICES FOR USE WITH EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
- The subject technology is about a small, portable physical object used in an extended reality system. - The system allows users to interact with virtual representations of content overlaid on their physical environment. - The object has a unique identifier that can be obtained by the system or another device. - The object can be inactive, passive, or active depending on its internal circuitry and functionality. - An active object may have its own processing circuitry and/or a display. - The object can be associated with content displayed by the system. - It provides users with a physical object that can be moved or manipulated to interact with the virtual content. - The object can be used to move, modify, transport, or store the content in the extended reality environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
Implementations of the subject technology provide a small, portable physical object for use in an extended reality system. The system may include a device that allows a user/wearer to interact with virtual representations of content such as stored data and/or applications overlaid on the user’s physical environment. The object has a unique identifier that is obtainable by the device or another device. The object may be an inactive device without any internal circuitry, a passive device with circuitry that is activated by another device, or an active device having its own processing circuitry and/or a display housed in the body of the object. The object can be associated with content displayed by the device to provide a user with a physical object that can be moved or manipulated to move, modify, transport, or store the content generated, stored, and/or displayed in an extended reality environment.
