Application: Synchronizing augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR) applications with companion device interfaces (Patent ID: US20240201805A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes a system where an augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) device pairs with a companion device to enhance input interfaces for AR/VR applications. The AR/VR device generates a portion of a markup file corresponding to an AR/VR scene and communicates it to the companion device to configure a companion user interface for initiating actions within the scene. The companion device then communicates user input back to the AR/VR device to execute the action within the AR/VR scene.
The method and system outlined in the patent involve receiving inputs for an AR/VR application, generating a markup file for an AR/VR scene, and storing this information. The markup file includes language to support communication with a companion device, links to actions, controls, and APIs. The system includes a memory component and processing device to perform these operations, while the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores executable instructions for generating the markup file and facilitating communication with the companion device. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive system for enhancing user interactions within AR/VR environments through the collaboration of AR/VR and companion devices.
