  • Patent number: 12659674
    Abstract: A hearing aid focusing system is provided to enables a user to hear an environmental sound. The focusing system adaptively adjusts a hearing aid in response to visual information about a user environment from one or more image capture devices. The focusing system analyzes images captured of the environment to identify one or more sources of sound that warrants user attention. Once a sound source is pinpointed and determined to be significant for the user, microphones of the hearing aid are automatically adjusted as needed in vertical and/or horizontal directions toward the sound source.

  • Patent number: 12625548
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that mitigate eye tracking loss. For example, a process may capture sensor data of a 3D region. The process may further generate eye tracking data comprising a 3D position of an eye based on tracking the 3D position of the eye. The 3D position may be updated over time based on the captured sensor data. The process may further detect a condition interfering with updating the 3D position of the eye based on the captured sensor data. The process may further update the eye tracking data using a smoothed 3D position of the eye. The smoothed 3D position may be determined based on previously-tracked 3D positions of the portion of the eye and a current 3D position of the portion of the eye determined based on current sensor data.
