Abstract: Methods, devices, and processor-readable media for adjusting the control-display gain of a gesture-controlled device are described. Adjusting the control-display gain may facilitate user interaction with content or UI elements rendered on a display screen of the gesture-controlled device. The control-display gain may be adjusted based on a property of how a mid-air dragging gesture is being performed by a user's hand. The property may be the location of the gesture, the orientation of the hand performing the gesture, or the velocity of the gesture. A hand that becomes stationary for a threshold time period while performing the dragging gesture may adjust the control-display gain to a different level. Control-display gain may be set to a different value based on the current velocity of the hand performing the gesture. The control-display gain levels may be selected from a continuous range of values or a set of discrete values. Devices for performing the methods are described.

Abstract: A method for operating a head-mounted display device is presented. An RF face tracking system is operated at a first, lower power level. Based at least on an output of the RF face tracking system while operating at the first, lower power level, a first likelihood is determined that the head-mounted display device is positioned on a head of a user. If the first likelihood is greater than a first confidence threshold, the RF face tracking system is operated at a second, higher power level. A second likelihood that the head-mounted display device is positioned on the head of the user is determined based at least on an output of the RF face tracking system while operating at the second, higher power level. If the second likelihood is greater than a second confidence threshold, an eye-tracking system of the head-mounted display device is activated.
