Abstract
Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a headset-based interface and menu system. An embodiment operates by determining a first position of a headset, configured to display and enable interactions with an interface of a computing system, is less than a threshold. A second position of the headset is detected and it is determined that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold. Responsive to the determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold, a menu is provided for display in the interface visible via the headset overlaying the interface.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- determining a first position of a headset, configured to display and enable interactions with an interface of a computing system, is less than a threshold;
- detecting a second position of the headset;
- determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold;
- and
- responsive to the determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold, providing a menu for display in the interface visible via the headset overlaying the interface, wherein a collapsed version of the menu was visible via the headset at the first position less than the threshold.
A computing system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
- determining a first position of a headset, configured to display and enable interactions with an interface of the computing system, is less than a threshold;
- detecting a second position of the headset;
- determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold;
- and
- responsive to the determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold, providing a menu for display in the interface visible via the headset overlaying the interface, wherein a collapsed version of the menu was visible via the headset at the first position less than the threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- determining a first position of a headset, configured to display and enable interactions with an interface of a computing system, is less than a threshold;
- detecting a second position of the headset;
- determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold;
- responsive to the determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold, providing a menu for display in the interface visible via the headset overlaying the interface;
- detecting a motion of the headset, wherein the motion increases a tilt of the headset and reduces a distance between a position of the headset and the threshold;
- and
- shifting the menu towards a center of the interface responsive to detecting the motion, wherein beyond the threshold, the menu is centered in the interface.
