  • Publication number: 20250076978
    Abstract: A display system can include a head-mounted display configured to project light to an eye of a user to display virtual image content at different amounts of divergence and collimation. The display system can include an inward-facing imaging system possibly comprising a plurality of cameras that image the user's eye and glints for thereon and processing electronics that are in communication with the inward-facing imaging system and that are configured to obtain an estimate of a center of rotation of the user's eye using cornea data derived from the glint images. The display system may render virtual image content with a render camera positioned at the determined position of the center of rotation of said eye.

  • Publication number: 20240377540
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for operating a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The TOF may be operated in a low power mode by repeatedly performing a low power mode sequence, which may include performing a depth frame by emitting light pulses, detecting reflected light pulses, and computing a depth map based on the detected reflected light pulses. Performing the low power mode sequence may also include performing an amplitude frame at least one time by emitting a light pulse, detecting a reflected light pulse, and computing an amplitude map based on the detected reflected light pulse. In response to determining that an activation condition is satisfied, the TOF may be switched to operate in a high accuracy mode by repeatedly performing a high accuracy mode sequence, which may include performing the depth frame multiple times.

  • Patent number: 11221209
    Abstract: A method for sensing a parameter of an environment surrounding an optical fiber comprises performing a distributed analysis of one or more guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) processes taking place therein. This distributed analysis may be performed by spatially mapping a spectral linewidth of a GAWBS coefficient along the optical fiber.
