Virtual devices in the metaverse

This invention allows you to use a virtual version of your smartphone inside a virtual or augmented reality headset. The headset displays a virtual phone running a virtual copy of an app from your actual phone, with that app specifically executing on a virtual machine. You interact with this virtual app using your hands, fingers, or a handheld controller, and the headset translates your movements into commands for the app.

Why it matters: Since 2023, AR/VR headset performance and hand-tracking accuracy have significantly improved, making seamless interaction with virtual mobile apps more feasible. This advancement directly supports the real-time interaction and translation described in the claims.
