VIRTUAL REALITY COMMUNICATION INTERFACE WITH HAPTIC FEEDBACK RESPONSE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184372 titled 'VIRTUAL REALITY COMMUNICATION INTERFACE WITH HAPTIC FEEDBACK RESPONSE
Simplified Explanation
Simplified Explanation
The patent describes a method where a processor creates a virtual reality interface for communication sessions on head-wearable apparatus. The processor detects touch inputs from VR input devices and generates haptic feedback responses based on the distance between the touch inputs.
- The processor displays a VR interface on head-wearable apparatus.
- It detects touch inputs from VR input devices.
- Monitors the location of touch inputs within the user interfaces.
- Determines the distance between touch inputs.
- Generates haptic feedback responses based on the distance.
Key Features and Innovation
- Creation of a virtual reality interface for communication sessions.
- Detection and monitoring of touch inputs from VR input devices.

Original Abstract Submitted
method starts with processor causing virtual reality (vr) interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface of a first head-wearable apparatus and on second user interface of second head-wearable apparatus. processor detects first touch input from first vr input device and second touch input from second vr input device. processor monitors location of the first touch input within the first user interface and location of the second touch input within second user interface. processor determines distance between location of the first touch input within first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input within second user interface. processor causes first and second vr input devices to generate haptic feedback response based on the distance. haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as distance increases. other embodiments are described herein.
