Artificial reality collaborative working environments

This invention describes a system for using a real-world keyboard within an artificial reality environment. It works by tracking the physical keyboard's location, creating a virtual 3D model of it in the XR space, and then enabling a passthrough view of the user's hands when they approach the physical keyboard, allowing them to type naturally. The system can also identify the keyboard by its light patterns or by communicating with the computer it's connected to.

Why it matters: The invention was filed as consumer XR devices with high-fidelity passthrough and hand tracking were still nascent. These core capabilities are now significantly more robust and widely available, simplifying implementation.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedXR device, real-time tracking software, 3D rendering
