Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods may include detecting malicious usage based on a user's behavior in connection with a wearable computing device. Similarly, another method may detect a bystander within range of a sensor, in which the device may determine if capturing information associated with a bystander is authorized. Another method may also include performing a segmentation of the media content and detecting a privacy portion of the media content. Furthermore, a method may include identifying a set of image frames and designating an optimal frame for storing. Additionally, a method may include a visibility-based subscription for video streams to determine a subset of the registered participant tiles to be subscribed to and displayed via the display device. Lastly, a system may include a processor that detects the difference of mutual capacitance between a first and second wire. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for creating haptic stimulations is provided. The apparatus includes an inflatable bladder and a support structure attached to a portion of the inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder is fluidically coupled to a pressure-changing device that is configured to control a fluid pressure of the inflatable bladder. The support structure includes a predefined pattern of cuts, and is configured to expand (or otherwise deform) in one or more directions according to a design of the predefined pattern of cuts and in relation with a fluid pressure inside the inflatable bladder. When the inflatable bladder receives the fluid from the source, the inflatable bladder expands, which causes the support structure to expand in the one or more directions and also to reinforce the inflatable bladder in the one or more directions. A wearable device and a system for creating haptic simulations are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for determining a proximity status between electrodes may include detecting an amount of electrical charge an electrode among other electrodes that are communicatively coupled to an artificial reality device. The method may further include determining, based on the detected amount of electrical charge at the electrode, a mutual capacitance measurement that indicates an amount of mutual capacitance between the other electrodes. The method may also include determining, based on the mutual capacitance measurement, a relative proximity status between the electrodes, where the relative proximity status indicates a degree to which the electrodes are in proximity with each other. The method may further include providing the determined relative proximity status between the electrodes as an input to the artificial reality device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
