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 control.
- Tracking a control indicator controlled by the user by determining multiple positions and activating the interactive control when the indicator crosses a threshold distance.
- Finding the closest position to the point based on the determined positions and associating a threshold with the surface point.
Potential Applications: - Mixed reality gaming - Virtual reality training simulations - Interactive educational tools
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user interaction in mixed reality environments - Improving accuracy in virtual reality control systems

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.
