Methods and devices for rendering interactions between virtual and physical objects on a substantially transparent display

摘要

Disclosed are methods and devices for rendering interactions between virtual and physical objects on a substantially transparent display are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes displaying a user-interface on a substantially transparent display of a wearable computing device. The method further includes displaying a virtual object in the view region at a focal length along a first line of sight and detecting a physical object at a physical distance along a second line of sight. The method still further includes determining that a relationship between the focal length and the physical distance is such that the virtual object and the physical object appear substantially co-located in a user-view through the view region and, responsive to the determination, initiating a collision action between the virtual object and the physical object.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
displaying a user-interface on a substantially transparent display of a wearable computing device, wherein:
the user-interface comprises a view region and at least one content region that is located outside of the view region,the view region substantially fills a field of view of the display, andthe at least one content region is not fully visible in the field of view; displaying a virtual object in the view region at a focal length along a first of sight; determining a physical distance, along the first line of sight, to a physical object; determining that the focal length is substantially equal to the physical distance to the physical object, such that the virtual object and the physical object appear substantially co-located, in a user-view through the view region, at the physical distance; and responsive to the determination, initiating a collision action between the virtual object and the physical object, wherein the collision action comprises a graphical modification of the virtual object.
