  • Patent number: 12347025
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for designating a bounded volumetric region in which an application can display content. In some implementations, a device includes a display, one or more processors, and a memory. While displaying first content associated with a first application within a first bounded region, the device detects a request from a second application to display second content in a second bounded region. If the first application has a first characteristic, the device determines whether the second bounded region obstructs a field of view of the first bounded region from the device. If the second bounded region obstructs the field of view of the first bounded region, the device determines whether to deny the request to display the second content in the second bounded region.

  • Patent number: 12346500
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for training a machine learning (ML) model to detect inner speech. The system collects, by an electromyograph (EMG) communication device used by a user, a first set of EMG signals over a first time interval. The system generates a first plurality of features based on the first set of EMG signals and generates a first probability associated with presence of inner speech by processing the first plurality of features with a machine learning (ML) model. The system compares the first probability generated by the ML model to a specified threshold and detects presence of the inner speech of the user in response to determining that the first probability generated by the ML model transgresses the specified threshold.

  • Patent number: 12271517
    Abstract: Bending data is used to facilitate tracking operations of an extended reality (XR) device, such as hand tracking or other object tracking operations. The XR device obtains bending data indicative of bending of the XR device to accommodate a body part of a user wearing the XR device. The XR device determines, based on the bending data, whether to use previously identified biometric data in a tracking operation. A mode of the XR device is selected responsive to determining whether to use the previously identified biometric data. The selected mode is used to initialize the tracking operation. The selected mode may be a first mode in which the previously identified biometric data is used in the tracking operation or a second mode in which the previously identified biometric data is not used in the tracking operation.
