Posture-Based Virtual Space Configurations - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240329729 titled 'Posture-Based Virtual Space Configurations
Simplified Explanation:
The virtual space configuration system of an artificial reality system can detect a user's posture and customize the virtual space accordingly. When a user is seated, the system provides seated virtual space customizations.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Adjustment of floor height for seated users
- Setting a flag for applications to adjust mechanics for seated users
- Customizing display of virtual space boundaries to be less intrusive in seated mode
- Detecting when a user leaves seated mode and triggering corresponding actions
- Providing a passthrough workspace area for interacting with real-world objects while wearing a VR headset
- Automatically determining virtual space dimensions for seated users
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in virtual reality gaming, training simulations, virtual meetings, and architectural design.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of providing a comfortable and immersive experience for users in virtual reality environments, especially when they are seated.
Benefits: The system enhances user comfort, improves user interaction with virtual environments, and increases the overall realism of virtual reality experiences.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing User Experience in Virtual Reality Environments" This technology can be utilized in the gaming industry, virtual training programs, virtual meetings, and architectural visualization tools to provide a more tailored and immersive experience for users.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include research on user posture detection in virtual reality systems, customization of virtual environments based on user behavior, and interaction techniques for mixed reality environments.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new ways to enhance user comfort and interaction in virtual reality environments, including advancements in gesture recognition, haptic feedback systems, and immersive audio technologies.
Questions about Virtual Reality Posture Detection: 1. How does the virtual space configuration system detect a user's posture? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the future of virtual reality experiences?
Original Abstract Submitted
a virtual space configuration system of an artificial reality system can detect a user posture and provide various corresponding customizations of the system's virtual space. the virtual space configuration system can, when a user is in a seated posture, provide for seated virtual space customizations. in various implementations, these customizations can include allowing adjustment of a floor height; setting a flag that can be surfaced to applications to adjust the applications' mechanics for seated users; customizing display of virtual space boundaries when in seated mode to be less intrusive; providing options to detect when a user leaves seated mode and trigger corresponding actions; provide a passthrough workspace area allowing a user to interact with certain real-world objects naturally without having to remove a virtual reality headset; or automatically determining virtual space dimensions for seated users.
