XR Preferred Movement Along Planes: abstract simplified (18335364)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18335364 Titled 'XR Preferred Movement Along Planes'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for presenting a virtual object in a real environment using a device. The device obtains two geometric representations of a physical surface in the real environment. It then determines an initialization location on the physical surface for the virtual object. The device also obtains two normal vectors, one for each geometric representation, at the initialization location. Finally, the virtual object is rendered at the initialization location using the obtained normal vectors.

Original Abstract Submitted

Presenting a virtual object includes obtaining, by a first device, a first geometric representation and a second geometric representation corresponding to a physical surface in a real environment, determining an initialization location on the first physical surface for a virtual object, obtaining a first normal for the first representation and a second normal for the second representation at the initialization location, and rendering the virtual object at the initialization location based on the first normal and the second normal.
