AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing extended reality (XR) devices are designed primarily for right-handed users, leading to cumbersome interactions for left-handed users due to occluded content and hand-arm occlusion issues in XR environments.

Method used

An XR device equipped with a controller that includes a graphics processing circuit, hand-movement-detection circuit, handedness-detection circuit, and GUI adaptation circuit, which detects a user's handedness based on hand movement accuracy and adapts the graphical user interface to optimize interaction for the user's dominant hand.

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively reduces occlusion issues and enhances user interaction by dynamically adapting the XR interface to the user's handedness, providing a more intuitive and comfortable experience for both right- and left-handed users.

Abstract

An extended reality, XR, device (100) comprising a controller (110), wherein said controller (110) comprises: a graphics processing circuit (111) configured to provide one or more graphic control objects (210), which one or more graphic control objects (210) are to be displayed in a control area (220) as part of a graphical user interface, GUI, a hand-movement-detection circuit (112) configured to detect a movement of a hand H of a user, a handedness-detection circuit (113) configured to detect a handedness based on the movement of the hand H, whereby the handedness indicates a main hand and a GUI adaptation circuit (114) configured to determine a position for the control area (220) based on the detected handedness, wherein the handedness-detection circuit (113) is configured to detect the handedness based on the movement of the hand H by determining that the movement of the hand result in operations which operations are within a first accuracy range associated with a main hand and in response thereto determine the handedness as being for the hand movements within the first accuracy range, and wherein the position for the control area (220) is a first position when the handedness indicates a first main hand and wherein the position for the control area (220) is a second position when the handedness indicates a second main hand.
