Virtual reality simulations using surface tracking

This describes a system for moving virtual objects in a VR world, particularly when they encounter obstacles. It works by predicting several possible next positions for the object, aiming it towards a target. It then selects the most suitable position and fine-tunes it using physics rules that account for the obstacle's surface, especially when the target is on or inside an obstruction.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of advanced mixed reality hardware. The claims' focus on realistic surface interaction is now central to spatial computing.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComplex software for VR physics and rendering
