Mixed Reality Browser Engine 3D Web Page Transform
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web pages are limited to two-dimensional (2D) representation, restricting website designs and user experiences, and existing 3D browsers only provide perspective views on a 2D display, failing to truly immerse users in a three-dimensional virtual space.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for managing and displaying web pages in a three-dimensional virtual space using a mixed reality system, where a browser engine determines 3D transform data for web pages or panels based on user input, allowing for changes in 3D position, rotation, or scale within a virtual 3D space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If web pages are displayed in a two-dimensional planar view, then the display is simple and compatible with conventional browsers, but the user experience is limited and website design flexibility is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions web page display from two-dimensional planar views to three-dimensional immersive environments. Web pages are rendered as virtual objects in a 3D space that users can navigate around and interact with from multiple angles, fundamentally changing the dimensional representation of web content while maintaining browser functionality
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional 3D browsers render contents in a perspective view on a two-dimensional display screen, then some three-dimensional effects are achieved, but the contents remain presented in a planar view and true immersion is not realized
Solution Approach 1:
The system moves beyond pseudo-3D perspective views on 2D screens to genuine three-dimensional virtual space rendering. Web pages are transformed into navigable 3D environments where users can move freely around content, creating true spatial immersion rather than simulated depth effects
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces conventional 2D display mechanics with virtual reality headset-based rendering systems. Instead of flat screens showing perspective projections, the system uses stereoscopic rendering and head tracking to create immersive 3D environments that respond to user head movements and positioning
3Adaptability or versatility
If legacy techniques rotate the entire browser window and all web pages together with respect to the normal direction of the planar view, then in-plane rotation is achieved, but individual web page rotation and out-of-plane rotation are not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the browser window into individual web page elements that can be independently transformed. Each web page or panel can be rotated, scaled, and positioned separately within the 3D virtual space, allowing independent manipulation of individual pages rather than moving the entire browser window as a single unit
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic transformation capabilities where web pages can be rotated in multiple directions (in-plane and out-of-plane) and positioned at various orientations in 3D space. Users can interactively adjust the rotation and positioning of individual pages, creating dynamic and flexible spatial arrangements rather than static planar displays

AI summary
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing and displaying web pages and web resources in a virtual three-dimensional (3D) space with an extended reality system. These techniques receive an input for 3D transform for a web page or a web page panel therefor. In response to the input, a browser engine coupled to a processor of an extended reality system determines 3D transform data for the web page or the web page panel based at least in part upon the 3D transform of the web page or the web page panel, wherein the 3D transform comprises a change in 3D position, rotation, or scale of the web page or the web page panel therefor in a virtual 3D space. A universe browser engine may present contents of the web page in a virtual 3D space based at least in part upon the 3D transform data.
