Recent Patent Applications

Representative Augmented Reality patent applications from 28th August 2025:

20250268678. SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SURGICAL NAVIGATION, INCLUDING IMAGE-GUIDED NAVIGATION OF A PATIENT'S HEAD

Applicant: Intellijoint Surgical Inc

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are described herein for performing a navigated surgical procedure involving a patient's anatomy in sterile and non-sterile surgical environments. A camera may be used to determine a registration of the camera coordinate-frame to the patient anatomy or optionally a tracker in relation to the patient anatomy. A drape may be applied to permit use in a sterile surgical environment. The camera may be moved from its original position to enable access to patient anatomy wh...

20250268684. AUGMENTED REALITY DENTAL SURGERY

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to augmented reality (AR) assisted surgery. A system comprises a spatial virtual surgical treatment plan (SVSTP) for mixed or virtual reality; multiple AR interfaces (ARIs), each ARI configured to overlay the SVSTP onto a surgical site, wherein the ARIs are positioned at different angles to provide an unobstructed view of the surgical site and reduce parallax and occlusion errors during surgery, wherein the ARIs are configured to exchange coor...

20250269279. SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RENDERING A VIRTUAL CONTENT OBJECT IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering of a virtual content object in an augmented reality environment based on a physical marker are discussed herein. Virtual content objects may be rendered by a display device in an augmented reality environment based on the field of view seen through the display device and a position of a marker (and one or more linkage points associated with the marker) in the real world. When rendered in the augmented reality environment, the virtual content objects may be visua...

20250269404. SYSTEMS FOR INTERFACING WITH IMMERSIVE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Applicant: Emerge Now Inc

Abstract: A multi-array ultrasound system for haptic engagement is provided. The system may include a computing device with a processing system, a tracking device communicatively coupled to the processing system, two or more ultrasound transducer arrays including a plurality of ultrasound transducers, and a driver communicatively coupled to the processing system and the two or more ultrasound transducer arrays.

20250269538. ROBOT TIDYING INTO NON-STANDARD CATEGORIES

Applicant: Clutterbot Inc

Abstract: A method and computing apparatus are disclosed for allowing a tidying robot to organize objects into non-standard categories that match a user's needs. The tidying robot navigates an environment using cameras to map the type, size, and location of toys, clothing, obstacles, furniture, structural elements, and other objects. The robot comprises a neural network to determine the type, size, and location of objects based on input from a sensing system. An augmented reality view allows user interact...
