The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is caused to be provided to an operator. The mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. While the operator is navigated to a step of the task, the mixed-reality view is caused to include a step card, such that the step card includes at least one instruction associated with the step. The operator is enabled to adjust a state associated with the step card. While the state associated with the step card is a first state: a gaze determination associated with a gaze of the operator is made; and responsive to a positive gaze determination, the step card is caused to move to a location that is associated with a real-world location of the gaze of the operator.

Ergonomic mixed reality information delivery system for dynamic workflows

The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is caused to be provided to an operator. The mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. The mixed-reality view is caused to include a visual tether to a tether location. The tether location is a real-world location at which work is to be performed. A gaze determination associated with a gaze of the operator is made. Responsive to a positive gaze determination, the visual tether is caused to pulse.

Mixed reality intelligent tether for dynamic attention direction

The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is provided to an operator. The mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. The holographic aspects include at least a first hologram. The first hologram is displayed with a first hologram menu, such that the first hologram menu includes visible selectable menu options associated with the first hologram. In the mixed-reality view, the first hologram menu, including the visible selectable menu options of the first hologram menu, is rotated to face the operator as the operator moves, such that the first hologram menu rotates in a curved manner about the first hologram as the first hologram menu rotates. Responsive to the operator making a selection on the first hologram menu, the first hologram in the mixed-reality view is altered based on the selection.

Automatic orientation for mixed reality information delivery system

The disclosed technology is generally directed to mixed reality devices. In one example of the technology, a mixed-reality view is caused to be provided to an operator, wherein the mixed-reality view includes both a real-world environment of the operator and holographic aspects. The operator is enabled to navigate among a plurality of steps of a task, such that for at least one step of the plurality of steps of the task, while the operator is navigated to the step of the task: the mixed-reality view is caused to include at least one instruction associated with the step. The mixed-reality view is caused to include a hologram at a real-world location in the real-world environment at which work associated with the step is to be performed. The mixed-reality view is caused to continually include a visual tether from the instruction to the real-world location.
