  • Electronic Devices With Illumination Systems
    Publication number: 20250076650
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may include displays for presenting images to a user. The head-mounted device may have a hand tracker for gathering hand tracking input from a user. The hand tracker may include a steerable illumination system such as a steerable infrared illuminator. Infrared light may be steered by selectively activating light-emitting diodes in an array and/or using positioners to move an infrared light source and/or lens in the illuminator. An infrared image sensor may gather images of the hands. Based on the monitored movement of a hand, the steerable illumination system may steer the infrared light to ensure that the hand remains illuminated even during hand movements.

  • Panel Cleaning System
    Publication number: 20240100571
    Abstract: A head-mounted device includes an external facing sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to a characteristic of an external environment. A controller is configured to determine that a quality of the signal is below a threshold value and take an action in response. Another embodiment includes a case for storing a head-mounted device that includes a cleaner coupled with a base or a lid of case. The cleaner is configured to clean a portion of the head-mounted device when the head-mounted device is inserted into and/or removed from the case.
