Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses to recognize actors during normal system operation. The method includes defining actor input such as hand gestures, executing and detecting input, and identifying salient features of the actor therein. A model is defined from salient features, and a data set of salient features and/or model are retained, and may be used to identify actors for other inputs. A command such as “unlock” may be executed in response to actor input. Parameters may be applied to further define where, when, how, etc. actor input is executed, such as defining a region for a gesture. The apparatus includes a processor and sensor, the processor defining actor input, identifying salient features, defining a model therefrom, and retaining a data set. A display may also be used to show actor input, a defined region, relevant information, and/or an environment. A stylus or other non-human actor may be used.

Abstract: In the method, a processor generates a three dimensional interface with at least one virtual object, defines a stimulus of the interface, and defines a response to the stimulus. The stimulus is an approach to the virtual object with a finger or other end-effector to within a threshold of the virtual object. When the stimulus is sensed, the response is executed. Stimuli may include touch, click, double click, peg, scale, and swipe gestures. The apparatus includes a processor that generates a three dimensional interface with at least one virtual object, and defines a stimulus for the virtual object and a response to the stimulus. A display outputs the interface and object. A camera or other sensor detects the stimulus, e.g. a gesture with a finger or other end-effector, whereupon the processor executes the response. The apparatus may be part of a head mounted display.

Abstract: A data space such as a virtual/augmented reality environment is generated, through which a viewer/point of view may move. The physical world motion of a display outputting the data space is sensed, received, or computed. The motion of a physical world environment in which the display also is sensed, received, or computed. An output adjustment is determined from the display and environment motions, typically being equal to the environment motion(s). Motion of a point of view within the data space to be outputted by the display is determined. The viewpoint motion corresponds with the display motion within physical space adjusted by the output adjustment. At least part of the data space is outputted to the display from the point of view. The point of view is navigated through the data space according to the viewpoint motion.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for sensing determining levels of an object to execute a command. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include: sensing an object that occupies a first portion of a field of view (FOV) of the sensor at a first point in time; determining a first saturation level of the object at the first portion of the FOV; sensing the object that occupies a second portion of the FOV of the sensor at a second point in time; determining a second saturation level of the object at the second portion of the FOV; determining that the first saturation level is different than the second saturation level; and in response to the first saturation level being different than the second saturation level, executing an executable command associated with the first saturation level and the second saturation level.

Abstract: To prompt input and provide feedback on input to a user with an interface, inputs and graphical cursors associated with those inputs are defined. Each input may have several forms such as base, hover, engaged, completed, and error. User input is anticipated. The base form of the anticipated input cursor is displayed to prompt the user for the anticipated input. If user hover is detected that matches anticipated input, the hover form is displayed to confirm the match to the user. If user input is detected that matches anticipated input, the engaged form is displayed as confirmation. If user input is completed that matches anticipated input, the completed form is displayed as confirmation. If user hover or input does not match anticipated input, the error form is displayed to indicate mismatch. Not all cursors must have all forms, and some cursors may have multiples of some forms.

Abstract: Comprehensive 2D learning images are collected for learning subjects. Standardized 2D gallery images of many gallery subjects are collected, one per gallery subject. A 2D query image of a query subject is collected, of arbitrary viewing aspect, illumination, etc. 3D learning models, 3D gallery models, and a 3D query model are determined from the learning, gallery, and query images. A transform is determined for the selected learning model and each gallery model that yields or approximates the query image. The transform is at least partly 3D, such as 3D illumination transfer or 3D orientation alignment. The transform is applied to each gallery model so that the transformed gallery models more closely resemble the query model. 2D transformed gallery images are produced from the transformed gallery models, and are compared against the 2D query image to identify whether the query subject is also any of the gallery subjects.
