Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing assisted scene capture for an artificial reality (XR) environment. Some implementations can obtain an XR space model corresponding to a real-world space, including walls, the ceiling, and the floor, using an XR system. Some implementations can then scan the real-world space and display a mesh corresponding to the scanned area overlaid onto a view of the real-world space. Some implementations can perform post-processing on the displayed mesh, which can include A) collapsing variations in the mesh corresponding to the walls, ceiling, or floor onto the XR space model; B) clipping the mesh to the XR space model for open doorways, windows, etc.; C) simplifying the mesh corresponding to the walls, ceiling, or floor; D) determining that the mesh is complete by identifying that a threshold percentage of the XR space model is covered by the mesh; or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Described herein is an oral appliance. The oral appliance includes upper and lower trays that each include at least one axial spring configured to contact a palatal/lingual surface of at least one tooth, where each axial spring is coupled to the respective upper or lower tray, and where each axial spring is configured to produce and transmit intermittent, cyclic forces to the palatal/lingual surface of the tooth to promote palatal and upper/lower jaw development. The upper and lower trays each include an expansion mechanism to enable adjustment of the size of the upper and lower trays to account for palatal expansion and upper and lower jaw development. The oral appliance includes first and second adjustable hinge arms that are removably connected to the upper and lower trays so that the oral appliance advances the mandible to provide temporary relief from sleep disordered breathing, sleep apnea and/or snoring.
