FACILITATING VIRTUAL OR PHYSICAL ASSISTANT INTERACTIONS WITH VIRTUAL OBJECTS IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240185849 titled 'FACILITATING VIRTUAL OR PHYSICAL ASSISTANT INTERACTIONS WITH VIRTUAL OBJECTS IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to an automated assistant accessible via a virtual environment for controlling features of the virtual environment and/or devices in the user's physical environment.

  • The automated assistant can materialize in the virtual environment to fulfill user requests.
  • It can render virtual objects to control operations or interact with users.
  • The virtual object can include virtual features for user interaction.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual reality gaming, smart home automation, and virtual customer service interactions.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of seamless interaction between users and virtual environments, as well as controlling devices in the physical environment through a virtual assistant.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced user experience, improved control over virtual and physical environments, and increased efficiency in performing tasks.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include virtual reality gaming platforms, smart home automation systems, and virtual customer service solutions.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be virtual reality assistants in gaming applications or smart home devices that allow for remote control through a virtual interface.

What are the security implications of using this technology in sensitive environments?

Using this technology in sensitive environments may raise concerns about data privacy, access control, and potential security breaches. Implementing robust security measures and encryption protocols would be essential to address these concerns.

How does this technology impact user engagement in virtual environments?

This technology can significantly enhance user engagement by providing a more interactive and immersive experience. Users can control virtual objects and devices more intuitively, leading to increased engagement and enjoyment.


Original Abstract Submitted

implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can be accessible via a virtual environment for controlling features of the virtual environment and/or devices in a physical environment of the user. when the automated assistant is invoked, the automated assistant can materialize in the virtual environment according to any request that the automated assistant has been invoked to fulfill. for example, depending on the request from the user, the automated assistant can cause rendering of a virtual object for fulfilling the request and/or controlling an ongoing operation of the automated assistant. when the virtual object is rendered to control an operation of the automated assistant, or another application, the virtual object can include a virtual feature that the user can interact with to control the virtual environment and/or devices in a physical environment of the user.
