Abstract: A user can capture an image of an object, using a computing device, to obtain information about that object. If a specular highlight (or other saturated region) is detected, the device can attempt to determine a location of a light source associated with the highlight. The device can then provide instructions as to a direction to move in order to reduce the presence of the specular highlight in subsequent images. Multiple images of the object can be captured and analyzed to generate a three-dimensional reconstruction of the environment, whereby a position of the light source can be determined. In other embodiments, movement of the specular reflections in response to movement of the device is used to determine a direction of the light source. In other embodiments, an image of the user is captured to determine the position of the light source based on shadows or reflections on the user.

Abstract: A computing device can detect first and second device motions within a first time period. The first and second device motions may be separated by a second time period. The computing device can determine that the second time period is within a specified time range. The computing device can determine that first and second motion metrics for the first and second device motions, respectively, are likely indicative of first and second taps, respectively, on a surface of the computing device. The computing device can determine that a first coordinate frame of the computing device associated with the first tap is within a range of angular degrees from a second coordinate frame of the computing device associated with the second tap. The computing device can further determine the first tap and the second tap as part of a double tap gesture.

Abstract: A tracking architecture is provided that enables data for gestures and head positions to be provided to both native and non-native clients on a computing device. A pipeline component can obtain the raw image data and sensor data and synchronize that data to be processed to determine, for example, location and/or motion data that may correspond to device input. The data can be processed by separate components, such as an event publisher and an event provider, each capable of filtering the location, motion, and/or raw sensor data to generate a set of event data. The event data then can be published to registered listeners or provided in response to polling requests. Head coordinates, gesture data, and other such information can be passed through one or more interface layers enabling the data to be processed by a non-native client on the device.
