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 13):
A computer-implemented method, comprising:\n receiving, by a processor of a computing device operating in an ambient environment, a selection of a virtual item by a selection device in virtual contact with the selected virtual item, the selected virtual item representing a virtual event; projecting a virtual trajectory for movement of the selected virtual item based on a detected movement of the selection device in virtual contact with the selected virtual item; identifying a target recipient for the selected virtual item in a shared environment, including:\n detecting at least one possible recipient in the shared environment; \n identifying the target recipient based on the projected virtual trajectory for the movement of the selected virtual item and an attractive force associated with the at least one possible recipient; and \n sharing access to the selected virtual event represented by the selected virtual item with the identified target recipient.
