Augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR) companion device techniques

This invention describes a system for interacting with augmented or virtual reality applications using a separate companion device, such as a phone or tablet. Uniquely, it uses a central "AR/VR hub" that sits between the AR/VR headset and the companion device. The hub sends the main AR/VR content to the headset, and also manages the companion device by verifying it and providing it with specific information to create its own user interface for controlling actions within the AR/VR experience.

Why it matters: Filed before the current push for secure, multi-device AR/VR ecosystems, the claimed AR/VR hub's role in verifying and managing companion devices is now more relevant for robust platform integration.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedDistributed software system, AR/VR integration
