  • Publication number: 20230384860
    Abstract: In some examples, a computer system provides non-visual feedback based on a determination that information about a user has been captured. In some examples, a computer system displays different portions of a representation of a user as the user and/or the computer system move relative to one another. In some examples, a computer system displays different three-dimensional content associated with different steps of an enrollment process. In some examples, a computer system displays visual elements at different simulated depths that move with simulated parallax to facilitate alignment of the user and the computer system. In some examples, a computer system prompts a user to make facial expressions and displays a progress bar indicating an amount of progress toward making the facial expressions. In some examples, a computer system adjusts dynamic audio output to indicate an amount of progress toward completing a step of an enrollment process.

  • Publication number: 20230290082
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generates and displays a portion of a representation of a face of a user. For example, an example process may include obtaining a first set of data corresponding to features of a face of a user in a plurality of configurations, while a user is using an electronic device, obtaining a second set of data corresponding to one or more partial views of the face from one or more image sensors, generating a representation of the face of the user based on the first set of data and the second set of data, wherein portions of the representation correspond to different confidence values, and displaying the portions of the representation based on the corresponding confidence values.
