    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) device is provided. The HMD has a display panel, a depth or distance sensor to measure distances between the HMD and a real object. The HMD device sets a close transition boundary distance (CTBD) between the HMD and a close transition boundary (CTB). A far transition boundary distance (FTBD) is set between the HMD and a far transition boundary (FTB). The CTBD is less than the FTBD. As a real object that has associated near and far virtual content moves nearer to the HMD device and crosses the CTB, the virtual content transitions to near virtual content for viewing on the HMD. As the real object moves away from the HMD and crosses the FTB, the virtual content transitions to the far virtual content for viewing on the HMD.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling presentation on a foldable display of an electronic device is provided. A foldable electronic device comprises a foldable housing including a hinge structure, a first housing structure and a second housing structure foldable and unfoldable with respect to the first housing structure about the hinge structure. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory to store instructions that cause the processor to receive a first user input to select an application program; detect a change from a folded state to an unfolded state; determine whether the selected application program has user interface size restrictions; and in the unfolded state, display a user interface of the selected application on at least a portion of the foldable display, based in part on the screen size restriction.

    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method comprising determining a spatial relationship between an augmented reality (AR) device and a camera-equipped device. The AR device is worn by a user. The camera-equipped device is positioned within proximity of the user. The method comprises determining, based on the spatial relationship, minimum and maximum boundaries of a user volume encompassing a head and one or more extremities of the user. The minimum and maximum boundaries represent a reduced depth range that is narrower than a full depth range of a camera frustum of the camera-equipped device. The method further comprises encoding, based on the minimum and maximum boundaries, a depth image frame captured via the camera-equipped device, and transmitting the encoded depth image frame over a remote network connection. A reconstructed 3D image based in part on the encoded depth image frame is rendered by a different AR device.
