  • Patent number: 12243169
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that present a view of a device user's face portion, that would otherwise be blocked by an electronic device positioned in front of the face, on an outward-facing display of the user's device. The view of the user's face portion may be configured to enable observers to see the user's eyes and facial expressions as if they were seeing through a clear device at the user's actual eyes and facial expressions. Various techniques are used to provide views of the user's face that are realistic, that show the user's current facial appearance, and/or that present the face portion with 3D spatial accuracy, e.g., each eye appearing to be in its actual 3D position. Some implementations combine live data with previously-obtained data, e.g., combining live data with enrollment data.

  • Publication number: 20250022392
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have an inner display that displays images for a user and an outer display that informs nearby people of the status of the user and inner display. For example, the outer display may display an image of a face, an abstract layer, or both, depending on whether the inner display is operating in passthrough mode, mixed reality mode, or virtual reality mode. An ambient light sensor in the head-mounted device may be used to measure the brightness and color of ambient light. The white point of the face layer on the outer display may be adapted to the color of ambient light, whereas the white point of the abstract layer on the outer display may remain fixed. The white point of a display may be a correlated color temperature setting (e.g., measured in degrees Kelvin) that determines the warmth or coolness of displayed colors.

  • Publication number: 20230421749
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display with a plurality of lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have different viewing zones that account for horizontal parallax as a viewer moves horizontally relative to the display. The display may be dimmed globally, blurred, and/or composited with a default image based on the detected vertical position of the viewer. The display may render content that compensates for the real-time vertical positions of multiple viewers.
