Virtual pinboard interaction using a peripheral device in artificial reality environments

This describes an augmented reality system where you can interact with a virtual pinboard. You wear a headset that shows you a virtual pinboard overlaid on your real environment. You use a physical handheld controller to interact with this virtual pinboard, and the system tracks the controller's movements. Specifically, the system can tell if your controller isn't oriented correctly for interaction and will prompt you to fix it, or it can detect when your headset is physically close to where the virtual pinboard is displayed.

Why it matters: Filed before the significant advancements in consumer-grade AR headset capabilities and the maturity of spatial computing platforms. The accuracy and responsiveness of peripheral device and HMD tracking, crucial for this interaction, have substantially improved since 2019.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
