Dynamic proximity boundary for detecting proximate objects
Providing a visual treatment based on proximity to an obstruction includes collecting, by a device, a sensor data for an environment, and determining a velocity of the device. A boundary of a volume around the device is determined based on the velocity. If a physical object is detected within the boundary based on the sensor data, then a notification procedure is initiated. The boundary of the volume dynamically changes as the velocity of the device or user changes.
1. A method comprising:
collecting, by a device, a first set of sensor data for an environment;
determining a velocity of the device;
determining a volume boundary of a volume around the device based on the velocity;
detecting a physical object in the environment based on the first set of sensor data; and
in accordance with a determination that the physical object intersects the volume boundary, initiating a notification procedure.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device is configured to present virtual content on a display, and wherein the notification procedure comprises removing the virtual content from the display.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the volume boundary comprises:
determining a point of origin for the volume based on the device.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the point of origin is determined based on body tracking data.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the volume boundary is determined based on the body tracking data.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification procedure comprises performing at least one selected from a group consisting of an audio notification, a visual notification, and a haptic notification.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein initiating the notification procedure comprises:
determining a direction of the velocity; and
selecting a notification type in accordance with the direction.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable code executable by one or more processors to:
collect, by a device, a first set of sensor data for an environment;
determine a velocity of the device;
determine a volume boundary of a volume around the device based on the velocity;
detect a physical object in the environment based on the first set of sensor data; and
in accordance with a determination that the physical object intersects the volume boundary, initiate a notification procedure.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the device is configured to present virtual content on a display, and wherein the notification procedure comprises removing the virtual content from the display.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the computer readable code to determine the volume boundary comprises computer readable code to:
determine a point of origin for the volume based on the device.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the point of origin is determined based on body tracking data.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the notification procedure comprises performing at least one selected from a group consisting of an audio notification, a visual notification, and a haptic notification.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the computer readable code to detect a physical object in the environment based on the first set of sensor data comprises computer readable code to:
obtain depth information indicative of objects in the environment.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising computer readable code to:
detect a change in the velocity to a second velocity less than the velocity; and
modify the volume boundary in accordance with the second velocity to obtain a second volume.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising computer readable code to:
in accordance with a determination that the physical object is absent from the second volume, cease the notification procedure.
16. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer readable media comprising computer readable code executable by the one or more processors to:
collect a first set of sensor data for an environment;
determine a velocity of a device;
determine a volume boundary of a volume around the device based on the velocity;
detect a physical object in the environment based on the first set of sensor data; and
in accordance with a determination that the physical object intersects the volume boundary, initiate a notification procedure.
17. The system of claim 16 , further comprising:
a display; and
computer readable code to:
present virtual content on a display, wherein the notification procedure comprises removing the virtual content from the display.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the computer readable code to detect a physical object in the environment based on the first set of sensor data comprises computer readable code to:
obtain depth information indicative of objects in the environment.
19. The system of claim 16 , further comprising computer readable code to:
detect a change in the velocity to a second velocity less than the velocity; and
modify the volume boundary in accordance with the second velocity to obtain a second volume.
20. The system of claim 19 , further comprising computer readable code to:
in accordance with a determination that the physical object is absent from the second volume, cease the notification procedure.
