Abstract: A head mounted display system can process images by assessing relative motion between the head mounted display and one or more features in a user's environment. The assessment of relative motion can include determining whether the head mounted display has moved, is moving and/or is expected to move with respect to one or more features in the environment. Additionally or alternatively, the assessment can include determining whether one or more features in the environment have moved, are moving and/or are expected to move relative to the head mounted display. The image processing can further include determining one or more virtual image content locations in the environment that correspond to a location where renderable virtual image content appears to a user when the location appears in the display and comparing the one or more virtual image content locations in the environment with a viewing zone.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a sensor which has at least two modes of operation. The sensor may be provided with a sequence of common operation steps which are included in both a first sequence of operation steps which define a first mode of operation and a second sequence of operation steps which define a second mode of operation. The sensor may also be provided with one or more dummy operation steps which relate to the difference between the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation. The sensor can be operated in the first mode of operation by causing it to execute at least the common operation steps and it can be operated in the second mode of operation by causing it to execute the common operation steps and at least one dummy operation step.

Abstract: Embodiments of a wearable device can include a head-mounted display (HMD) which can be configured to display virtual content. While the user is interacting with visual or audible virtual content, the user of the wearable may encounter a triggering event such as, for example, an emergency condition or an unsafe condition, detecting one or more triggering objects in an environment, or determining characteristics of the user's environment (e.g., home or office). Embodiments of the wearable device can automatically detect the triggering event and automatically control the HMD to deemphasize, block, or stop displaying the virtual content. The HMD may include a button that can be actuated by the user to manually deemphasize, block, or stop displaying the virtual content.

Abstract: A self-propelled device operates to interpret an input corresponding to a set of actions that are performed on a controller device.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and computer-program products for determining one or more settings of a content capture device. In some examples, to determine the one or more settings, luma values of pixels of an image from the content capture device may be identified. Objects in the image and information associated with the objects may also be identified. The information associated with the objects may be divided into categories of the information. And using the objects and the information, a separate weight array for each category of the information may be computed. The separate weight arrays may be combined to create a total weight array to augment the luma values. The augmented luma values may be aggregated to compute a weighted luma average for the image. Based upon a difference of the weighted luma average and a target, the one or more settings may be adjusted.

Abstract: A self-propelled device determines an orientation for its movement based on a pre-determined reference frame. A controller device is operable by a user to control the self-propelled device. The controller device includes a user interface for controlling at least a direction of movement of the self-propelled device. The self-propelled device is configured to signal the controller device information that indicates the orientation of the self-propelled device. The controller device is configured to orient the user interface, based on the information signaled from the self-propelled device, to reflect the orientation of the self-propelled device.

Abstract: The invention discloses a programming method and system for dynamic client/server network management using proxy servers, by allowing each active proxy server in an arrayed cluster to maintain an updated list of all other operating proxy servers in the cluster. When a client message requesting access to an application server is received by a clustered proxy server, the message may be forwarded to another proxy server (within the cluster) so that message (re)transmissions can pass through the same proxy server as the original message, allowing a proxy server to make consistent routing decisions (and other decisions) pertaining to that message.
