==DISTANCE DETERMINATION FOR MIXED REALITY INTERACTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295918 titled 'DISTANCE DETERMINATION FOR MIXED REALITY INTERACTION

The patent application describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media that determine distances for mixed reality interaction. 

* Determining the position of a point on a surface and rendering a virtual reality interactive item with a VR interactive control.
* Tracking a control indicator controlled by the user by determining multiple positions of the control indicator and activating the VR interactive control when the indicator crosses a threshold distance.
* Associating a second threshold with the point on the surface based on the closest position to the point.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems, methods, and computer readable media that determines distances for mixed reality interaction, where the methods include determining a first position of a point of a surface and rendering a virtual reality (vr) interactive item comprising a vr interactive control. the methods further include tracking a control indicator controlled by the user by determining a first plurality of positions of the control indicator and activating the vr interactive control in response to detecting the control indicator controlled by the user transgressing a first threshold distance from the vr interactive control. the methods further include determining a closest position of the first plurality of positions to the point based on the first position, determining the point of the surface to have a second position based on the determined closest position plus a constant for the control indicator, and associating a second threshold with the point of the surface.
