Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for creating and viewing virtual holograms. The system includes a computing device with an anchor program that receives instructions to create a virtual place-located anchor and links data items to the anchor based on a user's account. The anchor program also receives a permission from the user to allow another user to view the holograms of the data items. The system using the anchor program can display the holograms to the user through a see-through display device. The technical effects of the patented system include creating a secure and customizable virtual place-located anchor for holograms that can be viewed by multiple users with different permissions and through different display devices.

Problems solved by technology

In some cases, finding and activating a device, opening an application, and sorting through numerous items to find desired content may impose undesirable delays in the user receiving the desired content.
However, managing the availability and presentation of such content can prove challenging.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The present descriptions relate to generating a virtual place-located anchor at which holograms and other virtual content may be viewed. As described in more detail below, in some examples display data may be transmitted to a display device to cause the device to display one or more holograms of a subset of data items at the virtual place-located anchor. In some examples, the display device may comprise an HMD device, such as an augmented reality display device that includes an at least partially see-through display configured to visually augment a view of a real world three dimensional environment through the display. In other examples, the HMD device may comprise a fully-immersive virtual reality display device. In other examples, the display device may comprise a tablet computer, smartphone, or other mobile computing device capable of visually augmenting a user's view of a real world three dimensional environment via the display.

Abstract

A method is disclosed that may include, in a creating phase: receiving an instruction to generate a virtual place-located anchor at a virtual location that is world-locked; receiving data items from a target data source; linking a subset of the data items to the virtual place-located anchor; and receiving a permission from a first user specifying a condition under which a second user may view one or more holograms of the subset of data items. In a viewing phase, first display data may be transmitted to cause a first display device to display the holograms to the first user at the virtual place-located anchor; and if the condition is satisfied, second display data may be transmitted to cause a second display device to display the holograms to the second user at the virtual place-located anchor.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Web-based social networks, email and other on-line platforms enable users to share and exchange digital content, such as messages, images, video, audio, etc. With the proliferation of mobile computing devices, the volume of such on-line content that is created and shared continues to increase.[0002]To receive updates or other content from friends and others, a user may fetch or otherwise access a computing device and open a corresponding application to view such content. Given the increasing volume of on-line content, a user may sift through numerous notifications, updates, and other unrelated content to find the user's desired content, such as updates from a particular friend. In some cases, finding and activating a device, opening an application, and sorting through numerous items to find desired content may impose undesirable delays in the user receiving the desired content.[0003]Some technologies enable users to experience a fully or partially virtual world. For ...
