  • Patent number: 11966518
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to effectuating device arbitration in a multi-device environment using data available from a wearable computing device, such as computerized glasses. The computerized glasses can include a camera, which can be used to provide image data for resolving issues related to device arbitration. In some implementations, a direction that a user is directing their computerized glasses, and/or directing their gaze (as detected by the computerized glasses with prior permission from the user), can be used to prioritize a particular device in a multi-device environment. A detected orientation of the computerized glasses can also be used to determine how to simultaneously allocate content between a graphical display of the computerized glasses and another graphical display of another client device. When content is allocated to the computerized glasses, content-specific gestures can be enabled and actionable at the computerized glasses.

  • Patent number: 11829529
    Abstract: When a notification is to be shown, an artificial reality notification system can add the notification to a pre-defined location in the user's field of view (e.g., top, side, or bottom) where it stays as a head leashed virtual object until the user's gaze is direct to the notification. When the user's gaze is directed at the notification, the artificial reality notification system make the notification world locked, allowing the user to move her head to bring the notification to the center of her field of view, move closer to the notification to make it larger, move around the notification to see aspects from different angles, etc. The notification can be dismissed if the user never directs her gaze at it for a first threshold amount of time or when the user looks away from the world-locked version for a second threshold amount of time.

    Abstract: A display panel, a display driving method and a display pixel driving circuit therefor are provided. In the display driving method, the light emitting signal includes multiple pulse signals, and the variation trend of the pulse-off durations of the pulse signals is consistent with the variation trend of the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element during the light emitting period, that is, the pulse-off durations decreases sequentially with the decrease of the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element, or sequentially increases with the increase of the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element. Therefore, the flicker problem in the display panel when emitting light can be solved, and improving the image display quality.
