Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods relating to mobile computing. According to an example method, a first user location of a user of a mobile computing system is determined. A first communication device in proximity to the first user location is identified based on the first user location. A first signal is communicated to the first communication device. A first information payload based on the first user location is received from the first communication device, in response to the first communication device receiving the first signal. Video or audio data based on the first information payload is presented to the user at a first time during which the user is at the first user location.

Systems and methods for virtual and augmented reality

Augmented and virtual reality display systems increase viewer comfort by reducing viewer exposure to virtual content that causes undesirable accommodation-vergence mismatches (AVM). The display systems limit displaying content that exceeds an accommodation-vergence mismatch threshold, which may define a volume around the viewer. The volume may be subdivided into two or more zones, including an innermost loss-of-fusion zone (LoF) in which no content is displayed, and one or more outer AVM zones in which the displaying of content may be stopped, or clipped, under certain conditions. For example, content may be clipped if the viewer is verging within an AVM zone and if the content is displayed within the AVM zone for more than a threshold duration. A further possible condition for clipping content is that the user is verging on that content. In addition, the boundaries of the AVM zone and/or the acceptable amount of time that the content is displayed may vary depending upon the type of content being displayed, e.g., whether the content is user-locked content or in-world content.

Display systems and methods for clipping content to increase viewing comfort

An augmented reality system comprises one or more sensors configured for capturing a set of data indicative of an emotional state of a user of the augmented reality system, and a processor configured for discerning the emotional state of the user based at least in part on the captured set of data, and rendering the discerned emotional state on an avatar of the user. The avatar can be displayed as a virtual object when viewed through one or more augmented reality display systems.

Creating a topological map for localization in augmented or virtual reality systems

An augmented reality display system comprises a passable world model data comprises a set of map points corresponding to one or more objects of the real world. The augmented reality system also comprises a processor to communicate with one or more individual augmented reality display systems to pass a portion of the passable world model data to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems, wherein the piece of the passable world model data is passed based at least in part on respective locations corresponding to the one or more individual augmented reality display systems.

Methods and systems for mapping virtual objects in an augmented or virtual reality system

Using a map of the world for augmented or virtual reality systems

A method of displaying augmented reality comprises capturing a set of map points pertaining to the real world, wherein the set of map points are captured through a plurality of augmented reality systems, determining a position of a plurality of keyframes that captured the set of map points, and determining a set of new map points based at least in part on the captured set of map points and the determined position of the plurality of keyframes.

Finding new points by render rather than search in augmented or virtual reality systems

An augmented reality system comprises one or more sensors to capture a set of map points pertaining to the real world, wherein the set of map points are captured through a plurality of augmented reality systems, and a processor to determine a position of a plurality of keyframes that captured the set of map points, and to determine a set of new map points based at least in part on the captured set of map points and the determined position of the plurality of keyframes.

Rendering techniques to find new map points in augmented or virtual reality systems

A virtual image generation system and method of operating same is provided. An end user is allowed to visualize the object of interest in a three-dimensional scene. A text region is spatially associated with the object of interest. A textual message that identifies at least one characteristic of the object of interest is generated. A textual message is streamed within the text region.

Technique for more efficiently displaying text in virtual image generation system

A surgical apparatus includes a surgical device, configured to be manipulated by a user to perform a procedure on a patient, and a computer system. The computer system is programmed to create a representation of an anatomy of a patient; to associate the anatomy and a surgical device with the representation of the anatomy; to manipulate the surgical device to perform a procedure on a patient by moving a portion of the surgical device in a region of the anatomy; to control the surgical device to provide at least one of haptic guidance and a limit on manipulation of the surgical device, based on a relationship between the representation of the anatomy and at least one of a position, an orientation, a velocity, and an acceleration of a portion of the surgical device; and to adjust the representation of the anatomy in response to movement of the anatomy during the procedure.

Haptic guidance system and method

A surgical planning method is provided. A representation of a bone of a joint is created. The joint is moved to a first position. A first point corresponding to a first location in the joint is identified when the joint is in the first position. The joint is moved to a second position. A second point corresponding to a second location in the joint is identified, when the joint is in the second position. Bone preparation for implanting an implant on the bone is planned based at least in part on the first and second points.

Haptic guidance method

A system and method for providing computer assistance for performing a medical procedure provides a graphical user interface to guide and/or assist a user, for example a surgeon, performing the medical procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical. The computer-assisted system comprises a software application that may be used for a medical procedure.
