  • Patent number: 12724480
    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 can 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.

  • 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.
