METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRESENTING A SYNTHESIZED REALITY USER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18215318 Titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRESENTING A SYNTHESIZED REALITY USER INTERFACE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method that involves identifying different data items with specific metadata fields. It then explains how a volumetric environment is displayed, showing certain objects corresponding to a subset of the data items. The method also detects user input related to a different metadata field and, upon detecting this input, replaces the displayed objects with a new set of objects corresponding to a different subset of the data items.


Original Abstract Submitted

In various implementations, a method comprises: identifying a plurality of data items, each of the plurality of data items having at least a first metadata field or a second metadata field; displaying a volumetric environment including a first plurality of SR objects corresponding to a first plurality of data items among the plurality of data items, wherein the first plurality of data items includes the first metadata field with first metadata field values; detecting a first user input indicative of the second metadata field; and in response to detecting the first user input, replacing the first plurality of SR objects within the volumetric environment with a second plurality of SR objects corresponding to a second plurality of data items among the plurality of data items, wherein each of the second plurality of data items includes the second metadata field with second metadata field values.
