Electronic Device that Displays Virtual Objects - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314281 titled 'Electronic Device that Displays Virtual Objects

The abstract describes an electronic device with sensors and displays that can show virtual objects of various types. When a request is received to display a virtual object, the device determines the depth of an object aligned with the target display direction, calculates an apparent depth for displaying the virtual object, and then displays it at the calculated depth.

  • The electronic device has sensors and displays for showing virtual objects.
  • It can determine the depth of an object aligned with the target display direction.
  • The device calculates an apparent depth for displaying virtual objects.
  • Virtual objects are displayed at the calculated apparent depth.
  • The technology allows for realistic and immersive display of virtual objects.

Potential Applications: - Augmented reality applications - Virtual reality experiences - Gaming and entertainment - Training and simulation programs

Problems Solved: - Enhances the realism of virtual objects - Improves user experience in augmented and virtual reality environments

Benefits: - More immersive and realistic virtual experiences - Enhanced training and simulation programs - Improved user engagement and interaction

Questions about Virtual Object Display Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience in augmented reality applications? This technology enhances the realism of virtual objects, making the user experience more immersive and engaging.

2. What are the potential commercial uses of this enhanced virtual object display technology? This technology can be applied in various industries such as gaming, training, and entertainment for more realistic and interactive experiences.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device may include one or more sensors and one or more displays. the display may be configured to display virtual objects of various types. the electronic device may receive a request to display a first type of virtual object that has a location defined relative to a location corresponding to the electronic device or a user of the electronic device. in response to the request to display the first type of virtual object, the electronic device may determine a depth of an object that is aligned with a target display direction for the virtual object, determine an apparent depth at which to display the virtual object based on at least the depth of the object, and display, via the one or more displays, the virtual object at the apparent depth.
