  • Publication number: 20240069688
    Abstract: A head-mounted device is provided that includes displays configured to display an image and to simultaneously display a magnifying window that presents a magnified portion of the image. The magnifying window lies in a magnification plane that is fixed relative to a user's head. One or more processors in the head-mounted device can be used to perform a first ray cast operation to identify an input point where a detected user input intersects the magnifying window, to obtain a remapped point from the input point, to compute a directional vector based on the remapped point and a reference point associated with the user's head, to obtain a shifted point by shifting the remapped point from the magnification plane to another plane parallel to the magnification plane, and to perform a second ray cast operation using the shifted point and the directional vector.

  • Publication number: 20230393865
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to activating and managing dual user interface modes for an operating system. An electronic device configured to run an operating system in a first mode including a first user interface receives, while operating in the first user interface mode, a predefined sequence of inputs, and in response to receiving the predefined sequence of inputs, transitions the operating system from the first user interface mode to a second user interface mode. The second user interface mode has different input capabilities with respect to the first user interface mode.

  • Publication number: 20230095816
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide electronic devices that operate, in part, based on enrolled user characteristics, and that can be operated by a guest user that has not been enrolled. For example, upon determining that a current user of an electronic device storing a first physical model of a primary user is a guest user different from the primary user, the electronic device may obtain initial physical characteristic data for the guest user and generate a guest physical model of the guest user based on the initial physical characteristic data. In one or more implementations, the electronic device may operate based on guest user inputs and the guest physical model of the guest user, while updating the guest physical model based on the guest user inputs.
