EXTENDED REALITY ASSISTANCE BASED ON USER UNDERSTANDING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221301 titled 'EXTENDED REALITY ASSISTANCE BASED ON USER UNDERSTANDING

Simplified Explanation

Various implementations disclosed herein provide augmentations in extended reality (XR) using sensor data from a user-worn device. The sensor data is used to understand a user's state and provide user assistance by enhancing or supplementing the user's abilities.

  • Augmentations in extended reality using sensor data
  • User-worn device provides data on user's state
  • Assist user by enhancing or supplementing abilities
  • Sensor data used to recognize need for user assistance
  • Provide guidance or information about environment

Key Features and Innovation

  • Utilizes sensor data from a user-worn device for extended reality augmentations
  • Recognizes user's state to provide assistance based on appearance, behavior, or environment understanding
  • Assists users by enhancing or supplementing their abilities, such as providing guidance or information about the environment

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields such as:

  • Assistive technology for disabled or impaired individuals
  • Navigation and guidance systems for users in unfamiliar environments

What are the potential implications of using sensor data for user assistance in extended reality?

The use of sensor data for user assistance in extended reality can lead to improved user experiences, increased accessibility, and personalized guidance in various applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

various implementations disclosed herein provide augmentations in extended reality (xr) using sensor data from a user worn device. the sensor data may be used understand that a user's state is associated with providing user assistance, e.g., a user's appearance or behavior or an understanding of the environment may be used to recognize a need or desire for user assistance. the augmentations may assist the user by enhancing or supplementing the user's abilities, e.g., providing guidance or other information about an environment to disabled/impaired person.
