  • Publication number: 20260194987
    Abstract: A method including sensing, by a wearable device, device context as a contextual cue, selecting, by the wearable device, a trained input model based on the contextual cue, generating, by the wearable device, a feature representation based on a wake-up cue using the input model, and predicting, by the wearable device, a wake-up trigger based on the feature representation.

  • Publication number: 20260056641
    Abstract: Described techniques enable a virtual touchpad for a wearable device by receiving, in response to a touch event, a sensor signal from a motion sensor coupled to the wearable device, the wearable device providing a user interface with a rendering space that is defined relative to the wearable device. The touch event may be associated with a contact space of a contact map defined with respect to the wearable device, based on the sensor signal, and a user interface event of the user interface that corresponds to the contact space may be rendered within the rendering space.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20250036229
    Abstract: A headset in the form of glasses for use in creating an augmented reality experience is implemented with a capacitive smart sensor disposed on an inside surface of an arm of the glasses. The capacitive smart sensor can be trained, using a neural network, to identify and distinguish different gestures associated with a touch event on an outside surface of the arm of the glasses. The smart sensor thus transforms the headset into a user input device without adding a touch pad.
