`being at least one of the set of: a gyro sensor configured to measure movement of the head of the
`player, an acceleration sensor configured to measure movement of the head of the player, a
`geomagnetic sensor configured to measure movement of the head of the player and a line-of-sight
`sensor configured to measure movement of the eye of the player (e.g., sensor 18 examples including

`
`Ross expressly or inherently discloses these claim element(s).
`
`“Returning to FIG. 1, sensors 18 may be configured to generate output signals conveying information

`Accordingly, in view of the above, the Ross reference anticipates the claim element of displaying, on
`a display operationally linked to the virtual image display apparatus (e.g., display 16), in accordance
`with the position and direction of the body part of the player (e.g., presented VR content corresponds
`to a view direction of the user).

`[an image of a virtual space including a first area and a second area;]
`
`“The present system may facilitate storytelling using virtual reality via boundaries that divide a virtual
`space into areas where primary content, secondary content, tertiary content, etc. may be presented
`to the user.” 5:52-55
`
`“Field boundary 404 may be visible, partially visible, and/or invisible to a user.” 19:43-44.
`
`As field boundaries may be invisible, the different areas are not visibly separate from each other.
`
`Accordingly, in view of the above, the Ross reference anticipates the claim element of an image of a
`virtual space (e.g., the virtual space) including a first area (e.g., the area including the primary
`content) and a second area (e.g., the area of the virtual space including the secondary content).
`
`
`Ross expressly or inherently discloses these claim element(s).
`
`Presented below are two separate interpretations of the claimed language using the Ross reference.
`Each interpretation by itself anticipates the claimed limitation. In the first comparison, the first area
`of the claims is corresponded to the secondary content of Ross, and the second area of the claims is
`corresponded to the primary content of Ross. In the second comparison, these are reversed, with the
`first area corresponded to the primary content in Ross, and the second area corresponded to the
`secondary content in Ross.
`
`Comparison 1) first area = secondary content in Ross, second area = primary content in Ross

`secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content. In some implementations, while a user views primary
`virtual reality content, system 10 may be configured to display a “pop-up” cue indicating that
`additional virtual reality content (e.g., additional characters) is available in a different (e.g.,
`secondary, tertiary, etc.) content area.” 7:41-50 (the movie can include “2D and/or 3D displayed
`content, captured video, 2D and/or 3D generated content, digitally created characters, objects, and
`spaces, algorithmically created content” 7:14-17)
`
`
`“In this example, the primary virtual reality content may be a movie (2D and/or 3D displayed
`content, captured video, 2D and/or 3D generated content, digitally created characters, objects, and
`spaces, algorithmically created content), and/or any other primary virtual reality content displayed to
`the user.” 7:13-18
`
`“This enables data, cues, results, and/or instructions and any other communicable items, collectively
`referred to as "information," to be communicated between the user and system 10.” 11:31-35
`
`Accordingly, in view of the above, the Ross reference anticipates the claim element of with the
`virtual image display apparatus, providing (e.g., displaying the pop-up), when the information
`providing condition is satisfied (e.g., when the user returns the view from the secondary to the
`primary content), the to-be-provided information (e.g., the pop-up cue) to the player by displaying
`the to-be-provided information in the second area (e.g., the area of the primary content, when the
`user views the primary content).
`
`Comparison 2) first area = primary content in Ross, second area = secondary content in Ross
`
`“System 10 may be configured such that primary virtual reality content may be displayed to a user,
`and, responsive to the user turning his view and/or otherwise moving away from the primary
`virtual reality content, one or more sensory cues may be provided to the user that indicates to the
`user that his view is no longer directed toward the primary virtual reality content…System 10
`may be configured to determine that a view direction of the user has moved across a field boundary
`between a first field of view where the primary virtual reality content is displayed and a second
`field of view where, for example, secondary virtual reality content may be displayed.” 6:46-60.
`
`“Other sensory cues may include other visual cues (e.g., a flashing visual indicator that is part of user
`interface 14), auditory cues (e.g., sounds produced by user interface 14 responsive to the user's view

`direction moving across a field boundary such as audio from the primary virtual reality content slowing
`to a stop, speaker vibration cues)...In some implementations, display component 26 may be configured
`to cause display 16 and/or other components of system 10 to vary an intensity of an individual cue
`and/or provide more than one cue at a time.” 16:39-61
`
`“This enables data, cues, results, and/or instructions and any other communicable items, collectively
`referred to as "information," to be communicated between the user and system 10.” 11:32-35
`
`“The secondary (tertiary, etc.) virtual reality content may be adjusted based on a user's progression
`through the primary virtual reality content, interaction with the primary virtual reality content, and/or
`other information.” 7:6-10
`
`“Content component 24 may be configured such that primary virtual reality content is presented to the
`user responsive to the user's view direction being within a first field of view (e.g., a forward looking
`field of view), and secondary virtual reality content may be presented to the user when the user's view
`direction is within a second field of view (e.g., a rearward looking field of view), and so on for tertiary,
`etc., virtual reality content. In some implementations, content component 24 may be configured to
`change the virtual reality content displayed to the user responsive to the user's view direction
`moving across a field boundary (e.g., between two different fields of view), based on an amount of
`view direction rotation, and/or based on other information” 15:29-41
`
`“Responsive to the user turning his view from the primary virtual reality content (e.g., left or right, up
`or down, and/or other directions) and/or otherwise moving away from the primary virtual reality
`content in the virtual space, a sensory cue comprising a visually perceptible darkening of the primary
`virtual reality content (e.g., a movie), a brightening of related (e.g., movie characters, objects seen in
`the movie, a setting of the movie, an extension of the setting of the movie, etc.) secondary, tertiary,
`etc.” 7: 21-33
`
`Therefore, as the user’s view moving from the area of the primary content to the secondary content, a
`visual cue is provided which Ross refers to as “information.” In comparison 1) above, Ross also
`refers to the pop-up with the additional information notice as a “cue” as well. Ross further motes that
`the content displayed to the user in the secondary area may change based on a variety of factors, and
`also notes that the content displayed to the user based on the user’s view direction moving. Thus, it is
`inferred that the visual cue or other information may be presented in the secondary area. An example

`provided in Ross is a cue that involves at least the brightening of the secondary content area, and thus,
`it can be inferred that other visual cues/information are presented at the secondary area as well.
`
`Accordingly, in view of the above, the Ross reference anticipates the claim element of with the
`virtual image display apparatus, providing (e.g., providing the visual cue), when the information
`providing condition is satisfied (e.g., when the user’s view moves from the primary to the secondary
`area), the to-be-provided information (e.g., the visual cue) to the player by displaying the to-be-
`provided information in the second area (e.g., the secondary content area).
`
`wherein the information
`providing condition is a condition
`of a gaze position moving to the
`second area from the first area,
`the gaze position being specified
`by at least one of the body part of
`the player being in a specified
`position or the direction of the
`body part of the player being at
`least a specified direction.
`
`Ross expressly or inherently discloses these claim element(s).
`
`[wherein the information providing condition is a condition of a gaze position moving to the
`second area from the first area]
`
`See above comparisons showing the user’s view moving from the primary to the secondary or vice
`versa in two separate comparisons.
`
`[the gaze position being specified by at least one of the body part of the player being in a
`specified position or the direction of the body part of the player being at least a specified
`direction.]
`
`“Returning to FIG. 1, sensors 18 may be configured to generate output signals conveying information
`related to a view direction of the user and/or other information. The view direction of the user may
`correspond to a physical direction toward which a gaze of the user is directed, an orientation of one or
`more parts of the user's body (e.g., the user's head may be tilted, the user may be leaning over), a
`position of a user within the virtual space, and/or other directional information.” 11:6-12
`
`Accordingly, in view of the above, the Ross reference anticipates the claim element of the gaze
`position (e.g., view direction) being specified by at least one of the body part of the player (e.g.,
`user’s body, head, gaze) being in a specified position (e.g., position of user) or the direction of the
`body part of the player (e.g., directional information) being at least a specified direction (e.g.,
`moving to the primary or secondary area).

`Ross expressly or inherently discloses these claim element(s).
`
`“Primary virtual reality content may include movies, performances, virtual events, video games,
`interactive games, simulated physical world settings, characters, objects…Secondary, tertiary, etc.,
`virtual reality content may include individual characters, objects that are part of a specific setting,
`objects that are usable within the virtual space such as tools, food, a virtual currency, virtual
`clothing (e.g., shirt, hat, pants, etc.), a vehicle, a pet, movies, performances, virtual events, characters,

`
`“Interaction may include participating in an instance of the virtual space (e.g., a scene in a movie) by
`controlling one or more available user controlled entities in the virtual space. Such control may be
`exercised through control inputs and/or commands input by the user through computing device 12, for
`example. Interaction may include repeatedly looking in a specific direction within a field of view

`See comparison above for 1e, where the primary/secondary content areas in Ross are compared
`against the first and second areas in the ‘432 claims. Here, the area with the target object can be
`matched with either the primary or secondary VR content area of Ross, and the region outside this
`area can be the secondary or primary VR content areas in Ross, respectively. When the user’s view
`direction in Ross moves from one area to another, as shown in the citations in 1e (not reproduced here
`for sake of clarity), information, such as a visual cue or a pop up, is shown to the user in the other

`secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content (e.g., socialize with a movie character) and then
`return his view back to the movie wherein the movie has been adjusted by interaction component
`28 to reflect the user's interaction with the secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content movie
`character.” 18:58-19:5
`
`“The user may interact with the secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content and then return his
`view back to the movie wherein the movie has been adjusted to reflect the user's interaction with the
`secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content. In some implementations, while a user views primary
`virtual reality content, system 10 may be configured to display a “pop-up” cue indicating that
`additional virtual reality content (e.g., additional characters) is available in a different (e.g.,
`secondary, tertiary, etc.) content area.” 7:41-50
`
`Ross discloses that a user may interact with objects, e.g., a movie character, in a secondary content
`area, after which the primary area will be modified after the user’s view returns to the primary area.
`Ross also discloses that the primary VR content area may be configured to display a pop-up cue
`indicating additional content such as characters are available in a different content area. This clearly
`implies that if a user does not complete selection by repeatedly looking at an object/character, when
`the user subsequently moves outside the area of the object/character (i.e., the secondary area), the
`system provides a pop-up cue to the user which has information informing the user that more content is
`available.
`
`While it may be debatable as to whether Ross is actually checking whether the user has not completed
`selection of the object/character by repeatedly looking at it enough times, and only providing the pop-
`up in response to such a condition, such a modification of Ross, if necessary, would be obvious to try
`as it applies a known technique of warning a user that something the user selected is not completed
`(see, e.g., US Pat. Pub. 2004/0242322 at [0085] providing an error when a user has not completed a
`game session after initiating the session) to the established process in Ross of notifying the user that
`additional content, e.g., content that the user did not finish selecting, is available.

`Accordingly, in view of the above, the Ross reference teaches the claim element of wherein the
`information providing condition includes a condition wherein a gaze position of the player (e.g., the
`view direction of the user), the gaze position being identified from the position and direction of the
`body part of the player (e.g., the user’s body, head, position, directional information, see above),
`moves outside the target object (e.g., returns to the primary area) before the player completes
`selecting the target object (e.g., by repeatedly looking at the object/character), and
`further comprising providing (e.g., displaying), with the virtual image display apparatus, the to-be-
`provided information (e.g., the pop up cue) to the player when the gaze position of the player moves
`outside the target object (e.g., to the primary area) before the player completes selecting the target
`object (e.g., as the user has not repeatedly looked at the object to select it).
`
`2) The limitations are obvious in view of Ross and secondary reference Lankford Nov. 2000 “Effective
`eye-gaze input into Windows.”
`
`“The Eye-gaze Response Interface Computer Aid (ERICA) is a computer that tracks eye movement.
`The system noninvasively tracks where a user is looking by monitoring the user's eye movements
`through a camera mounted underneath the computer monitor. ERICA was originally developed to
`assist the disabled by providing them with a means to communicate. The device has helped numerous
`disabled individuals since its inception in 1983. ERICA recently moved to the Windows platform. The
`mouse cursor now points to where the user is looking on the screen. To fully take advantage of the
`capabilities Windows has to offer, a method to click and to type with the eye needed to be incorporated
`into the graphical user interface (GUI).” Section 1.
`
`“The system uses dwell time to provide the user with access to various mouse clicking actions. When
`the user fixates (focuses at a point on the screen and keeps the mouse cursor stationary) for a
`predetermined amount of time on the computer display, a red rectangle appears, centered on the
`point of fixation. This rectangle begins collapsing in on itself. The rectangle serves as a visual cue to
`the user that if they keep fixating at that point, then they will perform a mouse control action at th
