A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11875088B2) discloses a system that utilizes computer processors and memories to create and manipulate smart volumetric layouts. The system involves accessing a description of smart volumetric shapes, associating properties and behaviors with these shapes, detecting digital objects within them, and applying the associated properties and behaviors to the digital objects. This innovative system allows for the modification and customization of digital objects within smart volumetric shapes, enabling a dynamic and interactive user experience.

Furthermore, the system includes features such as digital 3D layout tools within a user interface, packaging the smart volumetric layout into a runtime executable application, and providing a graphical user interface for creating and manipulating smart volumetric layout objects. The method described in the patent involves accessing smart volumetric layouts, associating shape data, detecting digital objects, and applying properties and behaviors to enhance the user experience. By incorporating real-world object motion control instructions and allowing for the deformation, reorientation, and resizing of digital objects within smart volumetric shapes, this system offers a versatile and engaging platform for users to interact with digital content in a novel and intuitive manner.
