METHOD OF MANIPULATING USER INTERFACES IN AN ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515191 titled 'METHOD OF MANIPULATING USER INTERFACES IN AN ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

Methods for displaying and manipulating user interfaces in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. User interfaces can be grouped together into a container, where manipulating one interface can affect others in the same container.

• User interfaces can be grouped into containers for easier manipulation.
• Manipulating one user interface in a container can cause others in the same container to be manipulated.
• User interfaces in a container can change orientation or rotate about axes when manipulated.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual reality environments, video games, design software, and interactive presentations.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and manipulating multiple user interfaces in a computer-generated environment.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, easier manipulation of interfaces, and increased efficiency in interacting with computer-generated environments.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing User Interface Containers for Enhanced User Experience

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods for displaying and manipulating user interfaces in a computer-generated environment provide for an efficient and intuitive user experience. In some embodiments, user interfaces can be grouped together into a container. In some embodiments, a user interface that is a member of a container can be manipulated. In some embodiments, manipulating a user interface that is a member of a container can cause the other user interfaces in the same container to be manipulated. In some embodiments, manipulating user interfaces in a container can cause the user interfaces to change one or more orientation and/or rotate about one or more axes.
