Benefits of technology

The present patent provides systems, methods, and devices for using extended reality technology to provide productivity applications and support for users. One aspect is the use of a portable housing with a keyboard and a foldable protective cover that can be engaged with a wearable extended reality appliance, allowing for easy transportation of the appliance. Another aspect is the use of a foldable protective cover that can be manipulated into different configurations to provide different display orientations for virtual content. The patent also describes methods for controlling the virtual display based on hand-movements and for integrating a moveable input device with the virtual display. Overall, the patent provides technical means for enhancing the user experience and improving efficiency when using extended reality technology for productivity applications.

Problems solved by technology

For many years, PC users were faced with a productivity dilemma: either to limit their mobility (when selecting a desktop computer) or to limit their screen size (when selecting a laptop computer).
But because the large monitor is stationary, the mobility of the user—while improved—is still limited.
For example, even laptop users with docking stations do not have the freedom of using two 32″ screens anywhere they want.

second embodiment

[0271]FIG. 9A is a front perspective view of a wearable extended reality appliance selectively engaged with a second exemplary embodiment of a holder. FIG. 9B is a rear perspective view of the wearable extended reality appliance selectively disengaged from the holder shown in FIG. 9A. FIGS. 9A and 9B are an exemplary representation of just one embodiment, and it is to be understood that some illustrated elements might be omitted and others added within the scope of this disclosure.

[0272]Holder 910 may include clip 912 configured to selectively engage bridge 914 of wearable extended reality appliance 916. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, wearable extended reality appliance 916 may include a pair of smart glasses. In one example, holder 910 may be part of holder 622 and / or of holder 722 and / or of holder 1218a. In one exemplary embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 9B, clip 912 may include post 918 configured to fit between nose pads 920 of wearable extended reality appliance 916. As shown in ...

third embodiment

[0286]FIG. 12A is a top view and FIG. 12B is a left side view of an integrated computational interface device 1210 with a wearable extended reality appliance in the form of a pair of smart glasses 1212 selectively engaged with the integrated computational interface device 1210. FIGS. 12A and 12B are exemplary representations of just one embodiment, and it is to be understood that some illustrated elements might be omitted and others added within the scope of this disclosure. Integrated computational interface device 1210 shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B may have similar structural and functional characteristics as integrated computational interface device 610 shown in FIG. 6 and / or as integrated computational interface device 710 shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. For example, integrated computational interface device 1210 may include all or some of the elements of integrated computational interface device 610. In another example, integrated computational interface device 1210 may include all or s...

Abstract

A system and method for implementing selective virtual object display changes are disclosed. The system may include a processor configured to generate an extended reality environment including a first virtual plane associated with a physical object and a second virtual plane associated with an item; dock a first set of virtual objects to the first virtual plane; dock a second set of virtual objects to the second virtual plane; cause a change in a display of the first set of virtual objects in a manner corresponding to a movement of the physical object; and cause a change in a display of the second set of virtual objects in a manner corresponding to a movement of the item.
