`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Order Governing Proceedings, Plaintiffs Gentex Corporation and
`
`Indigo Technologies, LLC (collectively, “Gentex”) hereby serve their amended disclosure of
`
`preliminary infringement contentions.
`
`These infringement contentions are preliminary. Discovery has not yet begun, and
`
`Gentex’s investigation is ongoing. The parties have not discussed proposed constructions for, and
`
`the Court has not yet construed, any of the asserted claims. Gentex specifically reserves its right
`
`to supplement these disclosures—including by asserting additional claims, accusing different or
`
`additional functionality, and accusing additional and/or different products—based on information
`
`obtained as the case progresses. Gentex also reserves the right to amend its infringement
`
`contentions and asserted claims based on any proceedings before the U.S. Patent & Trademark
`
`Office regarding the asserted patents.

`
`CHARTS SETTING FORTH WHERE IN THE ACCUSED PRODUCT(S) EACH
`ELEMENT OF THE ASSERTED CLAIMS IS FOUND.
`
`As set forth in detail in Gentex’s Complaint and the Exhibits attached thereto (Dkt. No. 1),
`
`Gentex alleges that Defendants Facebook, Inc. and Facebook Technologies, LLC (collectively,
`
`“Facebook”) have infringed and continued to infringe, directly and indirectly, literally or under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents, one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,757,068 (the“’068 patent”),
`
`7,301,648 (the “’648 patent”), 8,224,024 (the “’024 patent”), 6,922,632 (the “’632 patent”), and
`
`7,725,253 (the “’253 patent”) (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”) by making, using, selling,
`
`offering to sell, and/or importing their Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest, and Oculus Quest 2 products
`
`(collectively, with their respective related instructions, systems, services, and software, the
`
`“Accused Products”).
`
`Gentex attached as Exhibits 1-5 to its October 22, 2021 Disclosure of Preliminary
`
`Infringement Contentions (“Preliminary Infringement Contentions”) claim charts identifying the
`
`manner in which the Accused Products infringe each element of the asserted claims. These claim
`
`charts are based on a reasonable investigation of publicly available information currently available
`
`to Gentex. These preliminary infringement contentions are intended to serve a notice function,
`
`and do not constitute an exhaustive explanation of all theories Gentex may present in this case.
`
`Gentex reserves the right to amend, revise, alter, or otherwise modify these charts as this case
`
`progresses, including to incorporate new information obtained during the course of discovery (such
`
`as information that is not currently publicly available).
`
`Exhibit 1 sets forth Gentex’s preliminary contentions concerning Facebook’s direct and
`
`indirect infringement of claims 1-2, 4-5, 7-9, 11-20, 23-33, 35, 41, 45-48, 50, and 54-59 of the
`
`’068 patent, including a chart setting forth where in the Accused Products each element of the
`
`aforementioned claims is found, to the best of Gentex’s current knowledge and information.

`
`Gentex Corporation and Indigo Technologies, LLC (collectively, “Gentex”) presently
`contend that Facebook, Inc. and Facebook Technologies, LLC (collectively, “Facebook”)
`infringe claims 1-8, 11-26, 28-36, 44-45, 47-55, 57-61, and 66-69 (the “Asserted Claims”) of
`U.S. Patent No. 6,922,632, directly and/or indirectly, either literally or under the doctrine of
`equivalents. This chart sets forth Gentex’s preliminary infringement contentions relating to the
`Asserted Claims and the accused products, i.e., the Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest, and Oculus
`Quest 2 (collectively, the “Accused Products”). In the event Facebook releases new products or
`services that infringe the ’632 patent, or further investigation reveals that other products or
`services infringe the ’632 patent, Gentex reserves the right to update these contentions as
`appropriate under the Order Governing Proceedings.
`
`
`These contentions articulate the structure and acts that constitute direct and/or indirect
`infringement of the ’632 patent and identify specifically where each element of each asserted
`claim is found within each Accused Product. Exemplary references to publicly available
`information concerning the Accused Products is provided where appropriate. Exemplary
`references to specific Accused Products are not intended and should not be read to exclude
`Accused Products not exemplified. On information and belief, the Accused Products are
`materially the same with respect to the claims of the ’632 patent discussed below, except the
`contentions below regarding hand tracking, which is performed by the Oculus Quest and Oculus
`Quest 2, but based on present information, is not performed by the Oculus Rift S. This
`disclosure is not intended to describe all acts of direct, induced, or contributory infringement
`Facebook has and continues to commit by making, using, selling, providing, developing,
`installing, testing, deploying, and/or directing the use of the Accused Products by customers and
`end users. The parties have not engaged in any discovery. The parties also have not discussed
`proposed constructions for, and the Court has not yet construed, any of the claims of the ’632
`patent. As a result, and consistent with the Order Governing Proceedings, Gentex reserves the
`right to modify, amend, or otherwise supplement these initial infringement contentions as
`discovery and the pre-trial phase of the litigation proceed and as additional information comes to
`light, including with respect to which claims Gentex is asserting, the infringement analysis for
`one or more of the claims, and whether and how limitations of one or more claims are met
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`
`Claim Limitation
`Claim 1
`(1pre) A method for
`tracking an object
`comprising:
`
`
`U.S. Patent 6,922,632
`Accused Products
`
`Facebook encourages, directs, or promotes users to use the Accused Products to carry
`out the claimed method, and Facebook performs the claimed method, as set forth below.
`For example, Facebook uses, and encourages users to use, a method for tracking an
`object (e.g., the user’s hand(s) and/or Oculus controller(s)). The Accused Products are
`especially adapted to carry out this method, which is a material part of the claimed
`invention, and have no substantial noninfringing uses. Further, on information and
`belief, Facebook conditions a user’s use of the Accused Products, and therefore the
`user’s receipt of the benefits of the Accused Products, upon this method and establishes
`the manner or timing of that use (e.g., through its software and/or user instructions,
`which have not been provided at this stage of the litigation).

`To unlockthe full potential of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences, the technology
`needs to work anywhere, adapting to the spaces where people live and how they move within those real-
`
`world environments. When we developed Oculus Quest, thefirst all-in-one, completely wire-free VR gaming
`system, we knew we neededpositional tracking that was precise, accurate, and available in real time — within
`the confines of a standalone headset, meaning it had to be compact and energy efficient.
`

`Academic research has been done on SLAM techniques for several decades, but the technology has only
`recently become mature enoughfor consumer applications, such as driverless cars and mobile AR apps.
`Facebookpreviously released a version of SLAM for AR on mobile devices which uses a single camera and
`inertial measurement unit (IMU) to track a phone's position and enable world-locked content — content that’s
`visually anchored to real objects in the world. Oculus Insight is the second generationofthis library, andit
`incorporates significantly more information from a combination of multiple IMUs and ultra-wide-angle
`cameras, as well as infrared LEDsto jointly track the 6DoF pasition of a VR headset and controllers.
`
`The Oculus Insight system uses a custom hardware architecture and advanced computervision algorithms —
`including visual-inertial mapping, place recognition, and geometry reconstruction — to establish the location
`of objectsin relation to other objects within a given space. This novel algorithm stack enables a VR device to
`pinpointits location, identify aspects of room geometry (suchasfloor location), and track the positions of the
`headset and controllers with respect to a 3D mapthatis generated and constantly updated by Insight. The
`data used for this process comes from three types of sensors built into the Quest and Rift S hardware:
`

`See also Powered by AI.
`At last year's Oculus Connect event we shared some details about Oculus Insight, the cutting-edge
`technology that powers both Quest and Rift S. Now that both of those products are available, we're providing
`a deeperlook at the Al systems and techniques that powerthis VR technology. Oculus Insight marks thefirst
`time that fully untethered six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) headset and controller tracking has shipped in a
`consumer AR/VR device. Built from the ground up, the Insight stack leverages state-of-the-art computer
`vision (CV) systems and visual-inertial simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM.

`“We wanted to create a system that lets you move and explore a VR world just as
`naturally and easily as you would in real life,” says Kozminski.
`
`Kozminski joined a team whose mission was to create the first full-featured “inside-out”
`tracking system for a consumer VR device. The technology would have to track the full
`range of a person’s movements (known as six degrees of freedom) and be able to
`pinpoint the location of the two handheld controllers as well as the headset.
`
`Previously, VR devices relied on external sensors to track these movements. These
`cameras attach to a PC, and while they work well, they make VR less portable and more
`complicated to set up.
`
`“With inside-out tracking in the headset, VR becomes as easy as putting on headphones
`to listen to music,” says Kozminski.
`
`
`See also From the Lab.
`See also From the Lab.
`Taking SLAM technology...
`
`
`
`The foundation of Oculus Insight's inside-out tracking is simultaneous localization and
`mapping, or SLAM, which uses computer vision CV algorithms to essentially fuse
`incoming data from multiple sensors in order to fix the position of an object within a
`constantly updated digital map. SLAM has been used in robotics and in AR camera
`
`effects on smartphones and was demoedin the Oculus Santa Cruz VR headset prototype
`in 2016. But Oculus Insight required an unprecedentedlevel of precision and efficiency,
`and that meant adapting the latest research on tracking and computer vision.
`
`“A lot of these technologiesreally start in academia — inside the lab," Kozminski notes.
`It's no coincidence, then, that she’s part of Facebook's Zurich-based team of engineers,
`many of whom came from Zurich Eye — a joint program from theprestigious ETH
`
`University and University of Zurich that researched self-navigating systems.

`See also From the Lab.
`There are other complications, too. The infrared LEDs in the two hand
`controllers drastically change appearance when they movecloser or farther
`away from the headset as you swing a virtual sword or maneuver a virtual
`spaceship. Oculus Insight also uses other sensors, drawing acceleration and
`velocity data from the inertial measurement units (IMUs) located in the headset
`and controllers. The system must processall of these data points in real time
`and, in the case of Quest, on a mobile chipset.

`With GDOF, the headset tracks the movement of both your
`head and body, then translates them into VR with realistic
`precision. No external sensors required.

`More Precise Tracking
`
`A functionfor infrared LED calibration exists, suggesting this controlleris
`optically tracked in the same way as the current Touch— cameras on the
`headset follow the movementof the LED constellation, and this is fused with
`the accelerometer readings to achieve sub-mm precision.

`The driver also reveals the series model numberof the controller's inertial
`measurementunit (IMU)- the chip within all VR controllers which contains
`the accelerometer.

`(1b) accepting
`configuration data
`from the sensor
`subsystem;
`
`
`
`
`
`Facebook encourages, directs, or promotes users to use the Accused Products to accept
`configuration data from the sensor subsystem, and Facebook performs such step itself.
`For example, the Accused Products can operate using both controllers, a single
`controller, or no controller at all, and the headset in the Accused Products is configured
`using the applicable configuration data of the sensors in use at a given time. As a further
`example, the Accused Products enumerate the sensing elements available in the sensor
`subsystem, including optical sensors (e.g., cameras) and inertial sensors (e.g., IMUs),
`and configuration data regarding these sensing elements, including the characteristics of
`these sensing elements, is accepted from the sensor subsystem. The Accused Products
`are especially adapted to carry out this method, which is a material part of the claimed
`invention, and have no substantial noninfringing uses. Further, Facebook conditions a
`user’s use of the Accused Products, and therefore the user’s receipt of the benefits of the
`Accused Products, upon this method and establishes the manner or timing of that use.

`Does the Quest have a single controller mode for any games?
`http mgur.com/a/1dLoatG
`
`My stepdad sent his old Oculus Go,it is 2 lot better than I expected! My good friend who Is in the
`picture absolutely loves the Go. I make sure I bring it every time we hang out since I got it recently. He
`is able to play some of the games because there is only one controller. He would not be able to
`operate 2 controller with his other hand. We are looking at getting him one so we can play together, or
`both of us upgrading to the Quest. I was wondering if you guys have seen many games youcan play
`with only one controller on the quest, orif we should stick to the Go. My friend would be doing a lot of
`video but I know he did like the ability to play some of the games. This has been the only video game
`system he has every really been able to play. I hope the quest will work out for us. Let me know what
`you guysthink, thanks for the help.
