Abstract: An apparatus is provided for displaying a user interface (UI). The apparatus includes a head-mountable display (HMD) and at least one processor configured. The processor is configured to generate content for display by the HMD at a default position in a viewable range, the viewable range including a viewed region that is visible to a user while wearing the HMD. The processor is also configured to, responsive to a change in orientation of the HDM, identify a new default position for the content in the viewable range based on the change in the orientation. The processor is also configured to display the content at the new default position in the viewable range when the new default position is within the viewed region.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for coordinating a master/follower device arrangement in a virtual reality (VR) environment is disclosed. A head mounted display (HMD) includes a transceiver, a display, and a processor coupled to the transceiver and display. The processor is configured to control the transceiver to receive, from at least one other HMD, data related to a field of view (FOV) of the at least one other HMD in a virtual reality (VR) environment. The processor is further configured to generate, using the data related to the FOV of the at least one other HMD, an FOV of the HMD in the VR environment.

Abstract: A method for detecting stereo images includes receiving an image and analyzing at least a portion of the image. The method further includes determining whether the image is a stereo image based on the analysis. The method may include determining if a portion of the image contains an expected icon, may determine if left and right halves of the image contain expected symmetry, may determine if histograms of the left and right halves are similar, or the like. The method further includes generating a confidence value related to the determination of whether the image is stereo or non-stereo, the confidence value indicating a likelihood that the determination is correct.

Abstract: A method to correct for a vehicle induced change of direction in an electronic device is described. The method comprises determining a first center pose of the electronic device, and determining when a motion of the electronic device is caused by a vehicle. At least one key point within a scene can be tracked, using a sensor in conjunction with computer vision operating on a processor, to determine a second center pose. It is then determined whether the second center pose is within a tolerance with respect to the first center pose; and the second center pose is adjusted when there is a difference between the second center pose and the first center pose.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are presented for displaying information on a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD includes an internal display, visible to a user of the HMD, and an external display, visible to a person other than the user. The method includes displaying internal information on the internal display and displaying external information on the external display, where the external information relates to host system information received from the host system or user information relating to the user.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for alerting a head mounted display (HMD) user to real-world objects. The HMD includes a controller, an internal display, and an external sensor. One or more characteristics of an object in a vicinity of the user are detected, using the external sensor. It is determined whether a detected characteristic matches a predefined criterion, and, if so, an alert is displayed to the user on the internal display.

Abstract: A wearable device includes a display, a transceiver, and a processor. The processor is configured to detect, via the transceiver, a device controllable by the wearable device. The processor is also configured to generate a user interface (UI) associated with the device for display on the display based on the detected device. The processor detects an input based on the UI and transmits, via the transceiver, a signal to the device to control the device based on the detected input.

Abstract: A head mounted device (HMD), method, and computer readable medium for control of AR content to create a sensation that virtual objects are real. The HMD includes a camera, a display, a memory and a processor. The processor is coupled to the memory, the display, and the camera. The processor is configured to identify a physical object in the image data as a marker object. The processor is further configured to display an overlay on the marker object on the display. The processor is further configured to track motion of the marker object. The processor is also configured to adjust the overlay on the display based on the motion of the marker object.

Abstract: A method, electronic device, and non-transitory computer readable medium for a mobile wallet remittance are provided. The method includes displaying, on a display, content including an object. The method also includes determining an area of an eye focus on the display, and associating the area of the eye focus with the object. The method additionally includes receiving a verbal command and deriving a command based on a detected set of lip movements. The method also includes extracting contextual information from at least one of the object associated with the eye focus, the received verbal command, or the derived command. The method also includes determining an intended command, based on the extracted contextual information and a reconciliation of the verbal command with the derived command.
