    Abstract: A method for tying a virtual speaker to a physical space. A first user with a first wearable extended reality appliance enters an area associated with a virtual speaker. First sounds are transmitted from the virtual speaker to the first wearable extended reality appliance. The first user hears the first sounds at first settings of the virtual speaker. The first user changes the settings of the virtual speaker to second settings. Second sounds are transmitted from the virtual speaker to the first wearable extended reality appliance, such that the first user hears the second sounds at the second settings. After the first user leaves the area, a second user with a second wearable extended reality appliance enters the area. Third sounds are transmitted from the virtual speaker to the second wearable extended reality appliance, such that the second user hears the third sounds at the second settings.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for initiating location-driven sensory prompts reflecting changes to virtual objects. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium includes instructions to cause a processor to enable interaction with a virtual object located in an extended reality environment associated with a wearable extended reality appliance; receive data reflecting a change associated with the virtual object; determine whether the virtual object is within or outside a field of view of the wearable extended reality appliance; cause initiating of a first sensory prompt indicative of the change when the virtual object is determined to be within the field of view; and cause initiating of a second sensory prompt indicative of the change when the virtual object is determined to be outside the field of view, the second sensory prompt differing from the first sensory prompt.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for enabling collaboration between physical writers and virtual writers. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium includes instructions to cause a processor to receive, from an image sensor, image data representing a hand of a first physical writer holding a physical marking implement and engaging with a physical surface to create tangible markings. Information based on the image data is transmitted to a computing device associated with a second virtual writer, to thereby enable the second virtual writer to view the tangible markings created by the first physical writer. Annotation data are received from the computing device, and represent additional markings in relative locations with respect to the tangible markings created by the first physical writer. In response to receiving the annotation data, a wearable extended reality appliance overlays the physical surface with virtual markings in the relative locations.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for selectively operating a wearable extended reality appliance are disclosed. Selectively operating the wearable extended reality appliance includes establishing a link between a wearable extended reality appliance and a keyboard device; receiving sensor data from at least one sensor associated with the wearable extended reality appliance, the sensor data being reflective of a relative orientation of the wearable extended reality appliance with respect to the keyboard device; based on the relative orientation, selecting from a plurality of operation modes a specific operation mode for the wearable extended reality appliance; identifying a user command based on at least one signal detected by the wearable extended reality appliance; and executing an action responding to the identified user command in a manner consistent with the selected operation mode.
