US Patent 10007352 Holographic display system with undo functionality

Disclosed are techniques for performing undo operations on holographic objects in an immersive 3D visual environment. A display system allows the user to undo a given user operation performed on a particular selected holographic object without affecting any other holographic objects, based on a user's gaze and/or other user input. The technique can be implemented in conjunction with a scrollable visual “timeline” in which multiple past states of the display environment are displayed to the user and are selectable by the user as the target state of the revert operation. Also disclosed is a technique for partially undoing a single continuous user action in a holographic display system.
