Abstract: A system for controlling a head mounted device (HMD). The system includes a processor of a controller of the HMD connected to an Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) data generated in response to vibrations produced by voiced nasal consonant vocalizations produced by an HMD user, analyze the IMU data to determine whether the IMU data corresponds to an HMD control command, and responsive to a determination that the IMU data corresponds to the HMD control command, execute the HMD control command.

Abstract: A game board including a top panel and a plank and a game that comprises one or more of the game boards. A plank extends from the back end of the game board. The top surface of the game board is flat and includes a surrounding area and one or more target areas. A projectile comprising a weighted ball is thrown by players onto the top panel or plank surface. A method for playing the game involves two to four players who will throw or roll the balls to land on the desired location of the top panel or plank area to score points toward winning the game. The game includes multiple rounds.

Abstract: A method performed by a head-mounted device can include, based on a front-facing camera included in the head-mounted device capturing an image of a wearable device, configuring the head-mounted device to receive input via the wearable device, determining that a gesture received by the wearable device includes a request to launch an application, and, in response to determining that the gesture includes the request to launch the application, launching the application.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for validating pre-pay and post-pay calls using an integrated validation database. The integrated validation database receives a pre-pay query including a pre-pay account code. The integrated validation database retrieves a pre-pay validation parameter based on the pre-pay account code. The integrated validation database then transmits a pre-pay validation response including the pre-pay validation parameter. The integrated validation database receives a post-pay query including a post-pay account code. The integrated validation database retrieves a post-pay validation parameter based on the post-pay account code. The integrated validation database transmits a post-pay validation response including the post-pay validation parameter.
