Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for a sensory augmentation system. In some examples, the sensory augmentation system includes a first electro-tactile stimulator comprising at least one user interaction element driven by a driver and contactable to a human body to provide stimulation having a first stimulation waveform and a signal generation and sensing processor configured to receive data corresponding to information to be communicated to the user. The signal generation and sensing processor may generate a first instruction to the driver, the first instruction corresponding to the first stimulation waveform. The driver may generate the stimulation having the first stimulation waveform in response to the first instruction.

Abstract: In some examples, a method includes determining, via a user device, three-dimensional spatial data for a physical environment, determining a geographic location of the physical environment, assigning a Spatial Anchor in the physical environment, and creating a digital element in an augmented reality environment created based on the spatial data of the physical environment, the digital element located in the augmented reality environment relative to a position of the Spatial Anchor.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus includes a memory storing computer executable instructions for implementing a spatially aware computing scheme; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions. Executing the executable instructions causes the processor to access a spatial augmentation layer (SAL) that includes augmented reality (AR) elements placed into an AR environment for a physical environment proximate to the apparatus, and display the AR elements on a display screen communicatively coupled to the apparatus, wherein at least some of the AR elements are elements placed into the AR environment by a user other than a user of the apparatus.

Abstract: A smart ring is provided. The smart ring includes a ring body configured to be worn on a finger of a user. The smart ring includes a capacitive touch sensor coupled to the ring body. The capacitive touch sensor is configured to receive a touch input from the user and convert the touch input into an input signal.

Abstract: In some examples, a method includes obtaining, using a smart ring worn on a finger of a user and while the smart ring is controlled to be in an active operational state, position data of the smart ring. The position data comprises a position of the smart ring and any changes in the position of the ring. The method also includes sending the position data to another device. The method also includes ignoring, while the smart ring is controlled to be in a standby operational state, changes in the position of the ring.
