CONTEXT-AWARE EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18544143 titled 'CONTEXT-AWARE EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques and systems for dynamically adjusting virtual content provided by an extended reality system based on the level of distraction experienced by the user.

  • The system determines the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content provided by the extended reality system.
  • It compares this level of distraction to a threshold level determined based on environmental factors.
  • Based on this comparison, the system adjusts the characteristics of the virtual content to optimize the user experience.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual reality gaming, training simulations, virtual tours, and augmented reality applications.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of user distraction in extended reality systems, ensuring a more immersive and engaging experience.

Benefits

The system enhances user experience by dynamically adjusting virtual content to minimize distractions, leading to improved focus and engagement.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications include virtual reality gaming, virtual training programs, virtual tours for real estate or tourism, and augmented reality advertising.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing systems or methods for adjusting virtual content based on user feedback or environmental factors in virtual reality or augmented reality systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system determine the level of distraction of the user?

The patent application does not provide specific details on the methods or sensors used to measure the user's level of distraction.

What types of environmental factors are considered in determining the threshold level of distraction?

The patent application mentions environmental factors but does not specify which factors are taken into account or how they are weighted in determining the threshold level of distraction.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting virtual content provided by an extended reality system. In some examples, a system determines a level of distraction of a user of the extended reality system due to virtual content provided by the extended reality system. The system determines whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than a threshold level of distraction, where the threshold level of distraction is determined based at least in part on one or more environmental factors associated with a real world environment in which the user is located. The system also adjusts one or more characteristics of the virtual content based on the determination of whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than the threshold level of distraction.
