  • Publication number: 20240144533
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that track a movement of an input device. For example, an example process may include determine a pose of a tracking device in a physical environment based on first sensor data from an image sensor. The process then may receive, from the tracking device, first positional data corresponding to a first relative positioning between the tracking device and an input device in the physical environment, where the first positional data is determined based on second sensor data obtained via a sensor on the tracking device. The process then may track movement of the input device in the physical environment based at least in part on the first positional data and the pose of the tracking device. The process then may determine an input for the electronic device based at least in part on tracking the movement of the input device.

  • Patent number: 8330042
    Abstract: A cable trough system includes a trough member including a base wall and first and second sidewalls extending from the base wall to form a trough. The system also includes a cover including a main body with a first end and a second end, and first and second hinge portions coupled to the first and second ends of the main body. Each of the first and second hinge portions includes a first member that extends to an end positioned to contact an inner surface of the first sidewall, a second member that defines an arm that is positioned to at least partially contact the first sidewall, and an extension member that extends from the second member in a direction opposite to that of the arm. The first and second members have a space therebetween sized to receive a portion of the first sidewall.
