Publication number: 20260153938Abstract: The subject technology receives a set of inputs from multiple input sources. The subject technology determines a set of input features based on the set of inputs from the multiple input sources. The subject technology performs a time window-based aggregation on the set of input features to generate a set of aggregated features. The subject technology performs feature extraction, using a set of modular components of a modular classifier network, on the set of aggregated features to generate a set of extracted features. The subject technology generates, using a pinch detection head, a probability score indicating the likelihood of an occurrence of a pinch gesture based on the set of extracted features. The subject technology determines, using triggering logic, whether a pinch gesture has occurred based at least in part on the probability score. The subject technology provides a pinch detection output based at least in part on the determining.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2026Publication date: June 4, 2026Inventors: Daniel Voros, David Retek, Gabor Nemeth, Levente Torok

Publication number: 20260126861Abstract: A hand-tracking platform generates gesture components for use as user inputs into an application of an Augmented Reality (AR) system. In some examples, the hand-tracking platform generates real-world scene environment frame data based on gestures being made by a user of the AR system using a camera component of the AR system. The hand-tracking platform recognizes a gesture component based on the real-world scene environment frame data and generates gesture component data based on the gesture component. The application utilizes the gesture component data as user input in a user interface of the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2025Publication date: May 7, 2026Inventors: Attila Alvarez, Márton Gergely Kajtár, Peter Pocsi, Jennica Pounds, David Retek, Zsolt Robotka

Publication number: 20260072520Abstract: An extended Reality (XR) system is provided that provides filtering for a raycast cursor. The XR system provides an XR user interface to a user, the XR user interface includes a raycast and pinch user input modality having a raycast cursor. While continuously capturing, using one or more sensors of the XR system, tracking data of a hand of a user, the XR system determines a pinch intention intensity using the tracking data, and in response to determining the pinch intention intensity meets or exceeds an enter pinching state value, activates a raycast cursor filter applied to a position of the raycast cursor of the raycast and pinch user input modality.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Attila Alvarez, Márton Gergely Kajtár, David Retek, Balazs Toth

Publication number: 20260073680Abstract: A head-worn device system includes multiple image sensors (e.g., cameras), one or more display devices and one or more processors. The system also includes a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the system to obtain a first image captured by a first image sensor of the device; generate, based on obtaining the first image, a respective predicted skeleton corresponding to a respective view from each of the first image sensor and the one or more second image sensors; select, based on generating the respective predicted skeletons, an image sensor from among the first image sensor and the one or more second image sensors, the selected image sensor being used for classifying the first image; and determine, based on the selected image sensor, a classification for the first image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Attila Alvarez, Thomas Faeulhammer, Gabor Nemeth, David Retek
