VIRTUAL USER INPUT CONTROLS IN A MIXED REALITY ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A wearable display system can automatically recognize a physical remote or a device that the remote serves using computer vision techniques. The wearable system can generate a virtual remote with a virtual control panel viewable and interactable by user of the wearable system. The virtual remote can emulate the functionality of the physical remote. The user can select a virtual remote for interaction, for example, by looking or pointing at the parent device or its remote control, or by selecting from a menu of known devices. The virtual remote may include a virtual button, which is associated with a volume in the physical space. The wearable system can detect that a virtual button is actuated by determining whether a portion of the user's body (e.g., the user's finger) has penetrated the volume associated with the virtual button.
