Abstract:
In a system and method for sharing items in an augmented and/or virtual reality environment, selected virtual items may be virtually propelled using, for example, a tossing or throwing motion, to a target recipient, so that the selected item may be shared with the target recipient without direct physical and/or virtual contact with the target recipient. Movement of a user's hand may be detected and tracked, so that the intended target recipient for the shared item may be identified based on a projected trajectory of a throwing motion of the user's hand. Associations between the user and different target recipients may cause different possible target recipients to exhibit different attractive forces, or different levels of magnetism, for particular items being tossed or thrown by a user for sharing, to further differentiate between the possible target recipients, and resolve recipient ambiguity.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the target recipient includes identifying the target recipient from a plurality of virtual display areas in the virtual environment, each of the plurality of virtual display areas being configured to receive a virtual item for display, the method further comprising:\n detecting the attractive force associated with each of the plurality of display areas based on a comparison of at least one characteristic of the selected virtual item and at least one characteristic of the respective virtual display area, the at least one characteristic of the respective virtual display area including at least one of a virtual size of the virtual display area, a virtual orientation of the virtual display area, or a virtual texture of the of the virtual display area; identifying a target display area of the plurality of virtual display areas as the target recipient for display of the selected virtual item based on the projected virtual trajectory for the selected virtual item and the attractive force associated with each of the plurality of virtual display areas; and displaying content of the selected virtual item at the target display area identified as the target recipient.
