IMAGE DATA FOR ENHANCED USER INTERACTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18671070 titled 'IMAGE DATA FOR ENHANCED USER INTERACTIONS
The present disclosure involves using avatars and image data to enhance user interactions. User status dependent avatars are generated and displayed with messages associated with the user status. Additionally, a device captures image information to scan an object and create a 3D model of the object. The device determines an algorithm for the 3D model based on the captured image information and provides visual feedback on additional image data needed for the algorithm to build the 3D model. Furthermore, an application's operation on a device is restricted based on whether an authorized user is identified using the device based on captured image data.
- Avatars and image data used for enhanced user interactions
- Generation of user status dependent avatars with associated messages
- Device captures image information to create 3D models of objects
- Determination of algorithm for 3D model based on captured image data
- Visual feedback provided on additional image data needed for 3D model building
- Application operation on device restricted based on identification of authorized user using captured image data
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality applications - Augmented reality experiences - Security systems - Gaming industry - E-commerce platforms
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user interactions - Improving object scanning and 3D modeling processes - Ensuring device security through user identification
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Improved accuracy in 3D modeling - Increased security measures for device access
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced User Interaction Technology for Virtual and Augmented Reality Applications" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as gaming, e-commerce, security systems, and virtual reality experiences, leading to improved user engagement and security measures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of avatars enhance user interactions in virtual environments? 2. What are the potential security implications of restricting device operation based on user identification through captured image data?
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure generally relates to using avatars and image data for enhanced user interactions. In some examples, user status dependent avatars are generated and displayed with a message associated with the user status. In some examples, a device captures image information to scan an object to create a 3D model of the object. The device determines an algorithm for the 3D model based on the capture image information and provides visual feedback on additional image data that is needed for the algorithm to build the 3D model. In some examples, an application's operation on a device is restricted based on whether an authorized user is identified as using the device based on captured image data.
