Parallel Video Call and Artificial Reality Spaces - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214524 titled 'Parallel Video Call and Artificial Reality Spaces
The present disclosure pertains to a VC/XR connection system designed to create and manage an XR space for video calls. Users can seamlessly transition from a regular video call to the XR space by putting on their AR device. The system can identify scheduled video call events, set up corresponding XR spaces, and establish a link between the video call and the XR space. Invitees wearing AR devices can be automatically brought into the XR space, which can either connect to the video call as a participant or display a feed of the video call within the XR space.
- Identification of scheduled video call events
- Creation of corresponding XR spaces
- Linking video calls to XR spaces
- Automatic transition of AR device users to XR space
- XR space can connect to video calls or display video call feed
- Potential Applications:**
- Virtual meetings and conferences - Remote collaboration and team meetings - Virtual classrooms and educational sessions - Virtual events and entertainment experiences
- Problems Solved:**

Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a vc/xr connection system that can establish and administer an xr space for a video call. the vc/xr connection system allows users to easily transition from a typical video call experience to the xr space, simply by putting on her artificial reality device. the vc/xr connection system can identify calendared video call events, establish corresponding xr spaces, and create a link between the video call and the xr space. invitees to the video call that don an artificial reality device can be automatically taken into the xr space. the xr space can a) connect to the video call as a call participant, allowing the video call participants to see into the xr space and b) show a feed of the video call in the xr space, allowing users in the xr space to see the video call participants.
