REPRESENTATIONS OF MESSAGES IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18305201 titled 'REPRESENTATIONS OF MESSAGES IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a computer system that can modify the visual appearance of user interface objects based on their position relative to the user's viewpoint in a three-dimensional environment. - The computer system can display a message representation in a three-dimensional environment at a certain distance from the user's viewpoint, and then change the distance of the message representation to a different distance. - The computer system can also transition virtual objects from a three-dimensional appearance to a two-dimensional appearance, or vice versa. - The innovation aims to enhance the user experience by dynamically adjusting the visual appearances of user interface objects based on their spatial arrangement in a three-dimensional environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some embodiments, a computer system modifies the visual appearances of user interface objects based on their spatial arrangement relative to the viewpoint of the user in a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a computer system displays, via a display generation component, a representation of a message in a three-environment at a first distance from a viewpoint of the user, and then changes the distance of the representation of the message to be a second distance from the viewpoint of the user. In some embodiments, a computer system is configured to transition virtual objects from a three-dimensional appearance to a two-dimensional appearance and/or from a two-dimensional appearance to a three-dimensional appearance.
