DISTANCE DETERMINATION FOR MIXED REALITY INTERACTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295918 titled 'DISTANCE DETERMINATION FOR MIXED REALITY INTERACTION
The patent application describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media that determine distances for mixed reality interaction.
- Determining the position of a point on a surface and rendering a virtual reality interactive item with a VR interactive control.
- Tracking a control indicator controlled by the user by determining multiple positions of the control indicator and activating the VR interactive control when the indicator crosses a threshold distance.
- Associating a second threshold with the point on the surface based on the closest position to the point.
Potential Applications: - Mixed reality gaming - Virtual training simulations - Architectural visualization - Medical simulations - Industrial design prototyping
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user interaction in mixed reality environments - Improving accuracy in virtual reality control systems - Providing a more immersive experience for users
Benefits: - Enhanced user engagement - Increased precision in virtual reality interactions - Improved user experience in mixed reality environments

Original Abstract Submitted
systems, methods, and computer readable media that determines distances for mixed reality interaction, where the methods include determining a first position of a point of a surface and rendering a virtual reality (vr) interactive item comprising a vr interactive control. the methods further include tracking a control indicator controlled by the user by determining a first plurality of positions of the control indicator and activating the vr interactive control in response to detecting the control indicator controlled by the user transgressing a first threshold distance from the vr interactive control. the methods further include determining a closest position of the first plurality of positions to the point based on the first position, determining the point of the surface to have a second position based on the determined closest position plus a constant for the control indicator, and associating a second threshold with the point of the surface.
