  • Patent number: 12598399
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology may provide time-synchronized image frames from multiple cameras to various system and/or application processes running on an electronic device. In one or more implementations, a frame identifier may be determined for each image frame from each camera based on a system pulse associated with the capture of the image frame. By generating frame identifiers based for images from multiple cameras based on a centralized source such as the system pulses, subsequent processes can immediately identify images from multiple cameras having the same frame identifier for co-processing of those images.

  • Patent number: 12581044
    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for steering projection based on computer vision determination of body position, gaze, and pointing gestures. An example method includes identifying a set of candidate projection surfaces and receiving a voice command to begin projection. The example method also includes capturing a wide-area scene image with a top-down perspective and determining an array of location coordinates indicative of a location of a human in the wide-area scene image, where the array of location coordinates is further indicative of a pointing direction of the human in the wide-area scene image. Finally, the example method includes determining a target projection surface from the set of candidate projection surfaces based on proximity to the location of the human and the pointing direction of the human and projecting a projection image onto the target projection surface.
