  • Publication number: 20260064203
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for extended reality (XR) operations. An XR system displays virtual content using a display according to display settings. The display settings can identify, for instance, a position, orientation, and/or size of the virtual content as displayed. The environment can be viewable using the display as the virtual content is displayed by the display, for example using a see-through display or a pass-through display. The imaging system can determine, based on one or more attributes of one or both eyes of the user of the imaging system, an extent of perception of the virtual content that is displayed using the display by the user. The attributes can identify, for instance, eye position, eye movement, pupil dilation, saccades, fixations, blinking, and/or squinting. The XR system can determine, based on the extent of perception of the virtual content by the user, a modification to the display settings.

  • Publication number: 20260012251
    Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device may determine a set of target orientations of the mobile device in which an antenna lobe of the mobile device is pointed toward the satellite, the set of target orientations based on: an orientation of the antenna lobe relative to the mobile device, and a location of the satellite relative to the mobile device. The mobile device may determine a current orientation of the mobile device. The mobile device may provide, at a user interface (UI) of the mobile device, guidance for rotating the mobile device from the current orientation to an orientation within the set of target orientations.

  • Patent number: 12399568
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for generating virtual content. For example, a process can include obtaining an image of a physical object in a real-world environment and determining at least one attribute of the physical object in the image. The process can include determining an interface layout for virtual content based on the at least one attribute of the physical object. The process can include displaying the virtual content based on the determined interface layout. In some cases, the process can including determining an input type based on the at least one attribute of the physical object, receiving input corresponding to the input type, and controlling displayed virtual content based on the determined input type.

  • Publication number: 20250218034
    Abstract: An imaging system can receive an image of a portion of an environment. The environment can include an object, such as a hand or a display. The imaging device can identify a data stream from an external device, for instance by detecting the data stream in the image or by receiving the data stream wirelessly from the external device. The imaging device can detect a condition based on the image and/or the data stream, for instance by detecting that the object is missing from the image, by detecting that a low resource at the imaging device, and/or by detecting visual media content displayed by a display in the image. Upon detecting the condition, imaging device automatically determines a location of the object (or a portion thereof) using the data stream and/or the image. The imaging device generates and/or outputs content that is based on the location of the object.

  • Patent number: 12347052
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses (or devices), methods, and computer-readable media are provided for generating virtual content. For example, a device (e.g., an extended reality device) can obtain an image of a scene of a real-world environment, wherein the real-world environment is viewable through a display of the extended reality device as virtual content is displayed by the display. The device can detect at least a part of a physical hand of a user in the image. The device can generate a virtual keyboard based on detecting at least the part of the physical hand. The device can determine a position for the virtual keyboard on the display of the extended reality device relative to at least the part of the physical hand. The device can display the virtual keyboard at the position on the display.

  • Patent number: 12259951
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for token device transfer management. A system identifies, in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger, a token corresponding to media content. A parameter of the token in the distributed ledger indicates that the token is associated with a first user. The system identifies a device that is associated with the token and the media content. The device is also associated with the first user. The system identifies that the device has been relocated to an area associated with a second user. In response to identifying that the device has been relocated to the area, the system causes the parameter of the token in the distributed ledger to be modified from indicating that the token is associated with the first user to indicating that the token is associated with the second user.

  • Patent number: 12175457
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for situational token-associated media output. A system receives sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a media device. The system identifies, based on the sensor data, a relationship between the media device and an anchor element that is associated with a token. The system identifies the token in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger. The token corresponds to media content according to the distributed ledger. The system generates a representation of the media content corresponding to the token. In response to identifying the relationship between the media device and the anchor element, the system outputs the representation of the media content.
