Gaze tracking to track gaze of a user within a user view screen including: combining the gaze tracking with head movement tracking, wherein head movements of the head movement tracking provide rough estimate of a direction of the gaze of the user, while eye movements of the gaze tracking provide fine tuning of the direction of the gaze of the user within the user view screen; dividing the user view screen into a plurality of gaze zones when gaze zone estimation is turned on; and combining the gaze tracking with the gaze zone estimation to select a gaze zone from the plurality of gaze zones as the direction of the gaze of the user.

Gaze tracking for user interface

Data processing/GUIs for NFT block chain data to 'tell the story' of ownership or highlight “cool” aspects of a computer game-related NFT in simplified way. Machine learning (ML) may be used to boil down the complexity of data to what people need or want to understand. The displayed timeline of ownership as presented in a GUI can be interactive. Types of metadata to encapsulate in the NFT are discussed.

In-game asset tracking using NFTs that track impressions across multiple platforms

An input device such as a cell phone or computer game controller being held in a portrait versus a landscape orientation is used to select different computer game modes, such as zooming, switching between first and third person perspectives, etc.

Adaptive rendering of game to capabilities of device

A non-text notification bubble or other graphical object can be presented during an augmented reality, mixed reality, or virtual reality simulation to notify a user that a real-world object is approaching or has crossed a boundary for an interaction space within which the user is to interact with the simulation. Responsive to the system identifying the user as looking at the bubble or other graphical object, the system may then present another notification about the real-world object approaching or crossing the boundary. The real-world object may be an intrusion into the interaction space, such as a human or animal crossing into the space.

Dynamic notification surfacing in virtual or augmented reality scenes

Incorporating camera through (CT) or augmented-reality (AR) vision into a display of a headset, including: displaying the CT or AR vision on a view screen of the display of the headset, when the CT or AR vision is selected by a user; prompting the user to enter or select at least one object to be highlighted on the view screen in a CT or AR vision mode; and highlighting the at least one selected object on the view screen.
