Method and Devices for Presenting and Manipulating Conditionally Dependent Synthesized Reality Content Threads - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320937 titled 'Method and Devices for Presenting and Manipulating Conditionally Dependent Synthesized Reality Content Threads
The abstract of the patent application describes a method that involves presenting a first synthesized reality (SR) view of an event with SR content associated with the event, including multiple layers of SR content. The method includes detecting the selection of a specific layer of SR content associated with the event and presenting a second SR view of the event with the selected layer in focus.
- The method presents a first SR view of an event with associated SR content.
- The SR content includes multiple layers that perform actions related to the event.
- Detection of the selection of a specific layer of SR content is done using input devices.
- A second SR view of the event is presented with the selected layer in focus.
- The second SR view corresponds to the point-of-view of the selected layer.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality experiences - Interactive storytelling - Gaming and entertainment industry
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user engagement with SR content - Providing a more immersive and interactive experience
Benefits: - Increased user interaction and engagement - Enhanced storytelling capabilities - Improved user experience in virtual environments
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Virtual Reality Experiences for Entertainment Industry This technology can be used in the development of virtual reality games, interactive experiences, and immersive storytelling platforms. It has the potential to revolutionize the entertainment industry by offering users a more engaging and interactive experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method detect the selection of a specific layer of SR content? 2. What are the key advantages of presenting multiple layers of SR content in the second SR view?
Original Abstract Submitted
in one implementation, a method includes presenting, via a display device, a first synthesized reality (sr) view of an event that includes sr content associated with the event. the sr content includes a plurality of related layers of sr content that perform actions associated with the event. the method includes detecting, via one or more input devices, selection of a respective layer among the plurality of related layers of sr content associated with the event. the method includes presenting, via the display device, a second sr view of the event that includes the respective layer of sr content in response to the selection of the respective layer. the second sr view corresponds to a point-of-view of the respective layer.
