Abstract:
Systems and methods for displaying a cursor and a focus indicator associated with real or virtual objects in a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environment by a wearable display device are disclosed. The system can determine a spatial relationship between a user-movable cursor and a target object within the environment. The system may render a focus indicator (e.g., a halo, shading, or highlighting) around or adjacent objects that are near the cursor. The focus indicator may be emphasized in directions closer to the cursor and deemphasized in directions farther from the cursor. When the cursor overlaps with a target object, the system can render the object in front of the cursor (or not render the cursor at all), so the object is not occluded by the cursor. The cursor and focus indicator can provide the user with positional feedback and help the user navigate among objects in the environment.

Claim (Index 5):
The wearable display system of  claim 1 , wherein to direct the display to render a focus indicator, the hardware processor is programmed to:\n perform a first render pass to render a cursor glow to a first buffer, a location of the cursor glow based at least partly on the location of the virtual cursor; perform a second render pass to render a shape mask representation of the object to a second buffer; perform a third render pass to render a glow mask associated with the object to a third buffer; and perform a fourth render pass configured to combine at least the first buffer, the second buffer, and the third buffer for presentation to the user.
