  • Patent number: 11460956
    Abstract: A system includes an image capturing device, a user input device, and a processor coupled to the image capturing device and user input device. The processor includes instructions for capturing a data image with the image capturing device. The data image includes a signal from the user input device. The processor further includes instructions for deactivating the signal from the user input device and, after deactivating the signal from the user input device, capturing an ambient image. The processor further includes instructions for subtracting the ambient image from the data image and determining a position of the user input device in a three-dimensional space using a result of the subtracting.

  • Patent number: 11429205
    Abstract: A stylus having an applied force-sensitive tip-switch is disclosed. The stylus includes a tip-switch responsive to a variable applied force. Control circuitry determines whether the tip-switch has made contact with an object and, if so, the magnitude of the applied force resulting from the contact. The circuitry then encodes a signal that varies with the magnitude of the applied force and transmits the encoded signal to a computing device, enabling the computing device to indicate the two- or three-dimensional path of the tip-switch in the stylus on a computer screen. The circuitry also monitors a manual override switch that activates an encoded override signal for interpretation and use by the computing device while indicating the path of the tip switch on a computer screen.

  • Publication number: 20220122335
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer-readable media (transitory or non-transitory) are described herein for scaling and rendering a virtual hand. According to an example, vision data may be received from a three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) vision sensor. The vision data may capture at least a portion of a user in an environment, and may include data representing the user's hand relative to a touch interaction surface. The vision data may be processed to generate a 3D representation of the user's hand. A scaling center may be identified on the touch interaction surface to scale the 3D representation of the user's hand. The 3D representation of the user's hand may be scaled with respect to the identified scaling center using a scaling factor. The scaling factor may be based on a rendering constraint. A virtual hand may be rendered, e.g., on a display, based on the scaled 3D representation of the user's hand.

  • Patent number: 11290704
    Abstract: A method and corresponding system for reconstructing the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object is disclosed. The system comprises a cluster of heterogeneous sensors, including a two-dimensional high-resolution camera and a three-dimensional depth camera, and a turntable operable to rotate incrementally. In operation, the turntable is rotated to first and second positions and two-dimensional and three-dimensional data sets are obtained using the two-dimensional high-resolution camera and the three-dimensional depth camera. Corresponding features from the two-dimensional data sets are identified and used to identify the same corresponding features in the three-dimensional data sets. The three-dimensional corresponding features are used to calculate a three-dimensional homography, which is used to align the three-dimensional data sets. Following alignment, a three-dimensional mesh is generated from the aligned data sets.

  • Patent number: 10607397
    Abstract: Examples relate to capturing and processing three dimensional (3D) scan data. In some examples, 3D scan data of a real-world object is obtained while the real-world object is repositioned in a number of orientations, where the 3D scan data includes 3D scan passes that are each associated with one of the orientations. A projector is used to project a visual cue related to a position of the real-world object as the real-world object is repositioned at each of the orientations. The 3D scan passes are stitched to generate a 3D model of the real-world object, where a real-time representation of the 3D model is shown on a display as each of the 3D scan passes is incorporated into the 3D model.
