US 2020/0401687 A1 · SECURE AUTHORIZATION VIA MODAL WINDOW

Abstract

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for authorization of a user in a spatial 3D environment. The systems and methods can include receiving a request from an application executing on a mixed reality display system to authorize the user with a web service, displaying to the user an authorization window configured to accept user input associated with authorization by the web service and to prevent the application or other applications from receiving the user input, communicating the user input to the web service, receiving an access token from the web service, in which the access token is indicative of successful authorization by the web service, and communicating the access token to the application for authorization of the user. The authorization window can be a modal window displayed in an immersive mode by the mixed reality display system.
