DISPLAYING AND MANIPULATING USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240272722 titled 'DISPLAYING AND MANIPULATING USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for displaying and manipulating user interface elements in a computer-generated environment, allowing users to interact seamlessly with sliders using gestures.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Use of pinch and hold gesture to display and isolate a slider for manipulation without needing to modify the gesture.
  • Utilization of gaze data to identify a focus element, followed by hand movement for fine identification.
  • Efficient and intuitive user interface interaction in a computer-generated environment.

Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in virtual reality systems, gaming interfaces, design software, and interactive presentations.

Problems Solved:

  • Enhances user experience by simplifying the manipulation of user interface elements.
  • Improves efficiency in interacting with sliders and focus elements in a computer-generated environment.

Benefits:

  • Seamless and efficient manipulation of sliders.
  • Enhanced user experience in interacting with user interface elements.
  • Improved accuracy in identifying focus elements.

Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in virtual reality gaming, design software, interactive presentations, and other applications requiring intuitive user interface interaction.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user interaction in virtual reality environments? 2. What are the potential implications of using gaze data in user interface manipulation?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in gesture-based user interface technologies and virtual reality interaction methods for potential improvements in this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

displaying and manipulating user interface elements in a computer-generated environment is disclosed. in some embodiments, a user is able to use a pinch and hold gesture to seamlessly and efficiently display and isolate a slider and then manipulate that slider without having to modify the pinch and hold gesture. in some embodiments, gaze data can be used to coarsely identify a focus element, and hand movement can then be used for fine identification of the focus element.
