Assisted Viewing Of Web-Based Resources

Номер: US20150331240A1
Автор: Brown Cameron G., Latta Stephen G., McCulloch Daniel J., Mount Brian J., Poulos Adam G.
Принадлежит:

Assisted viewing of web-based resources by an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) is described. An HMD may display content from web-based resources using a see-through display while tracking eye and head movement of the end user viewing the content within an augmented reality environment. Active view regions within the see-through display are identified based on tracking information including eye gaze data and head direction data. The web-based resources are analyzed to identify content and display elements. The analysis is correlated with the active view regions to identify the underlying content that is a desired point of focus of a corresponding active view region, as well as to identify the display elements corresponding to that content. A web-based resource is modified based on the correlation. The content from the web-based resource is displayed based on the modifications to assist the end user in viewing the web-based resource.

Methods for enabling hands-free selection of virtual objects are described. In some embodiments, a gaze swipe gesture may be used to select a virtual object. The gaze swipe gesture may involve an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) performing head movements that are tracked by the HMD to detect whether a virtual pointer controlled by the end user has swiped across two or more edges of the virtual object. In some cases, the gaze swipe gesture may comprise the end user using their head movements to move the virtual pointer through two edges of the virtual object while the end user gazes at the virtual object. In response to detecting the gaze swipe gesture, the HMD may determine a second virtual object to be displayed on the HMD based on a speed of the gaze swipe gesture and a size of the virtual object.
