PRESENTING ANIMATED SPATIAL EFFECTS IN COMPUTER-GENERATED ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221273 titled 'PRESENTING ANIMATED SPATIAL EFFECTS IN COMPUTER-GENERATED ENVIRONMENTS
The abstract of this patent application describes a technology that involves presenting animated spatial effects within a computer-generated environment, such as an extended reality environment. A communication associated with presenting a spatial effect is received by an electronic device, which then presents the spatial effect with visual attributes selected based on various criteria. These visual attributes may include emitting location, emitting direction, color, and size of the spatial effect. The criteria used to select the visual attributes may include factors such as the display of a representation of the sending user within the environment, the direction of attention of the receiving user, and other criteria. Additionally, the spatial effect may include an audio portion with audio attributes selected based on various criteria as well.
- The technology involves presenting animated spatial effects within a computer-generated environment.
- Visual attributes of the spatial effects are selected based on various criteria, such as emitting location, emitting direction, color, and size.
- Criteria for selecting visual attributes may include factors like the display of a representation of the sending user and the direction of attention of the receiving user.
- The spatial effects may also include an audio portion with selected audio attributes.
- The technology enhances the user experience in extended reality environments by customizing spatial effects based on specific criteria.
Potential Applications: - Entertainment industry for immersive experiences - Virtual meetings and conferences for enhanced communication - Gaming industry for more interactive gameplay
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience in computer-generated environments - Customizing spatial effects based on specific criteria - Improving communication in virtual environments
Benefits: - Enhanced user engagement - Personalized experiences - Improved communication and interaction in virtual settings
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced User Experience Technology for Extended Reality Environments" This technology can be used in various industries such as entertainment, virtual meetings, and gaming to provide users with immersive and interactive experiences. The market implications include increased user engagement, improved communication, and enhanced virtual interactions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user engagement in extended reality environments? 2. What are the key criteria used to select visual attributes for spatial effects in this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
some examples of the disclosure are directed to presenting animated spatial effects within a computer-generated environment, such as an extended-reality environment. a communication associated with presenting a spatial effect may be received by an electronic device, and in response, the device may present the spatial effect with visual attributes that are selected by the device based on various criteria. such visual attributes may include an emitting location, an emitting direction, a color, and/or a size of the spatial effect. the criteria used to select the visual attributes may include, for example, whether a representation of the sending user is displayed within the computer-generated environment, a direction of attention of the receiving user, and/or other criteria. optionally, the spatial effect may include an audio portion with audio attributes that are also selected based on various criteria.
