Dynamic Surfaces for Virtual Reality Applications
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting an environment, comprising:
- identifying a first location of a user in a structure at a first time;
identifying a position of each of a plurality of columns, each column having a length in a first direction, a cross-sectional area in a second direction, and a top surface;
adjusting a position of a subset of the plurality of columns based at least in part on the first location of the user and the position of the subset of the plurality of columns.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic structure and surface environment are described. A columnar structure that may include a tiled surface may be used to create or adjust a surface of physical structure to allow for dynamic columns to provide an augmented physical environment. In some examples, a first plurality of columns may be configured to adjust in a first direction from a first position to a second position, an actuator in contact with some of the columns may be configured to cause the columns to adjust in the first direction from the first position to the second position; and a controller configured to receive information associated with position information of some of the columns and may communicate with the actuator.

10. A columnar apparatus for an environment, comprising:
-
a first plurality of columns having a length in a first direction, a first cross sectional area, a first subset of the first plurality of columns configured to adjust in the first direction from a first position to a second position; an actuator in contact with at least a portion of the first plurality of columns, the actuator configured to cause the portion of the first plurality of columns to adjust in the first direction from the first position to the second position; and a controller configured to receive information associated with position information of the first subset of the first plurality of columns and communicate with the actuator. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
