Patent Applications by Meta Platforms Technologies, LLC
Inventor(s): Alejo Lifschitz Arribio of Redmond WA (US) for meta platforms technologies, llc
IPC Code(s): C09D11/322, C01G19/00, C09D11/36, G02B1/10, G02B27/01
CPC Code(s): C09D11/322
Abstract: a method of forming a variable refractive index thin film includes forming a coating including a tin (ii) halide precursor and a liquid solvent, where the composition and/or concentration of the liquid solvent may vary spatially over one or more lateral dimension(s) of the coating. annealing at elevated temperature may induce densification of the coating and the formation of a thin film having a variable refractive index. local variability in the refractive index may be correlated to the location oxidation state of tin within the thin film, which may be related to the conformation of the liquid solvent.

CPC Code(s): G06F3/017
Abstract: a method includes detecting, by a wearable device worn by a user, a text-symbolic hand gesture performed by the user. the method includes, in response to detecting the text-symbolic hand gesture, causing a display to present (i) a representation of an application-specific action associated with a character identified from the text-symbolic hand gesture and (ii) a predicted user input based on the character. the method includes detecting, by the wearable device, a subsequent input performed by the user. the method includes, in response to a determination that the subsequent input selects the predicted user input, providing instructions that cause the wearable device to initiate sending of the predicted user input to another electronic device; and, in response to a determination that the subsequent input selects the representation of the application-specific action associated with the character, providing instructions that cause the wearable device to initiate performance of the application-specific action.

CPC Code(s): G06F3/04815
Abstract: a user uses “snap points” to activate virtual objects and/or to transition virtual objects from body-locked or head-locked (i.e., “leashed”) to world-locked. a snap point is a specific location in the user's artificial-reality (xr) world. when the user assumes a position near to where he was when he previously defined a snap point, the object ceases to be leashed and instead locks to the snap point (i.e., the object becomes “world-locked”). until the user's distance from where he was when he defined the snap point exceeds a threshold value, the object remains stably world-locked at the snap point. when the user moves more than the threshold, the object releases from the snap point, returns to its previously defined leashed mode, and follows the user through the xr world as previously.

CPC Code(s): G06F3/0482
Abstract: aspects of the present disclosure provide a quick actions menu in an artificial reality (xr) environment that can be accessed by performing a hand gesture detected by an xr device which, in some implementations, can be detected without the use of controllers. once the menu is open, the user can move her hand while performing the gesture to highlight a particular quick action and can release the gesture on a highlighted action to select the action. in some implementations, the user can drill down into an action on the menu by highlighting the action, then dragging the gesture off of the action away from the menu. to close the quick actions menu, the user can either a) move the gesture off the menu and release the gesture, b) rotate the wrist, or c) explicitly dismiss the menu, such as by using a voice command detected by the xr device.

IPC Code(s): G06F9/50
CPC Code(s): G06F9/5038
Abstract: adaptive cross-layer power, thermal, and performance management within augmented and/or virtual reality (ar/vr) display devices is described. ar/vr experiences use extensive system resources to provide high quality user experience (ux). application performance modes (e.g., application resource bundles “arbs”) may be registered and for each mode, applications may request specific performance from the underlying hardware/firmware/software subsystems. as system state changes, a central service may periodically reconfigure power states of individual subsystems resulting in power, thermal, and performance tradeoffs. as the power states are reconfigured, the central service may change the application performance modes to allow applications to adapt their ux to the new system state allowing applications to build custom behaviors and provide enhanced ux over a variety of states.

IPC Code(s): G06T19/00
CPC Code(s): G06T19/006
Abstract: aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing assisted scene capture for an artificial reality (xr) environment. some implementations can obtain an xr space model corresponding to a real-world space, including walls, the ceiling, and the floor, using an xr system. some implementations can then scan the real-world space and display a mesh corresponding to the scanned area overlaid onto a view of the real-world space. some implementations can perform post-processing on the displayed mesh, which can include a) collapsing variations in the mesh corresponding to the walls, ceiling, or floor onto the xr space model; b) clipping the mesh to the xr space model for open doorways, windows, etc.; c) simplifying the mesh corresponding to the walls, ceiling, or floor; d) determining that the mesh is complete by identifying that a threshold percentage of the xr space model is covered by the mesh; or any combination thereof.

IPC Code(s): G06T19/00, G06F3/01, G06T3/40
CPC Code(s): G06T19/006
Abstract: an efficiency manager can selectively upsample portions of captured data, for example to target certain portions of a user's field of view (e.g., pass-through display) for higher quality visuals. for example, the efficiency manager can select, based on user eye tracking, portions of the captured visual data for upsampling and omit upsampling for other portions. the efficiency manager can implement the selective upsampling using a hierarchical mipmap. a mipmap can store visual data at different quality levels. the efficiency manager can sparsely populate a high quality level of the mipmap with the selectively upsampled visual data. rendering techniques (e.g., graphical processor unit hardware and/or rendering pipelines) can utilize mipmaps to efficiently render visual data for display.
