20140325454 | System and Method for Exploring 3D Scenes by Pointing at a Reference Object - The system and method are described for enhancing location-based services by enabling spatial database systems to respond to or answer spatial queries that use a reference object to identify objects or features of interest in environmental scene before a system user. The system and method present invention enhances pointing technology by permitting system users to use queries to identify objects or features within the system user's field of view by pointing at the reference object or feature, and linking it to the object of interest by using spatial prepositions. | 10-30-2014 |
20140294234 | System and Method for Initiating Actions and Providing Feedback by Pointing at Object of Interest - A system and method as described for compiling feedback in command statements that relate to applications or services associated with spatial objects or features, pointing at such spatial object or feature order to identify the object of interest, and executing the command statements on a system server and attaching feedback information to their representation of this object or feature in a database of the system server. | 10-02-2014 |
20130307846 | System and Method for Linking Real-World Objects and Object Representations by Pointing - A system and method are described for selecting and identifying a unique object or feature in the system user's three-dimensional (ā3-Dā) environment in a two-dimensional (ā2-Dā) virtual representation of the same object or feature in a virtual environment. The system and method may be incorporated in a mobile device that includes position and orientation sensors to determine the pointing device's position and pointing direction. The mobile device incorporating the present invention may be adapted for wireless communication with a computer-based system that represents static and dynamic objects and features that exist or are present in the system user's 3-D environment. The mobile device incorporating the present invention will also have the capability to process information regarding a system user's environment and calculating specific measures for pointing accuracy and reliability. | 11-21-2013 |
