Abstract: The subject technology receives, by one or more hardware processors implementing a local wireless network, a request from a client device to mirror media content displayed on a screen of the client device on a wearable device. In response to the request, the subject technology causes a display of the media content in a mirroring lens of the wearable device. While the media content is being displayed in the mirroring lens of the wearable device, the subject technology tracks hand gestures of a user wearing the wearable device and viewing the media content displayed in the mirroring lens of the wearable device. The subject technology processes navigational or manipulation data based on the tracked hand gestures and sends a navigation or manipulation instruction to the client device or a mirroring lens processor of the wearable device based on the tracked hand gestures.

Abstract: Examples relate to systems and methods for providing multiplayer experiences on a head-wearable apparatus, such as AR glasses. The system receives, by a first head-wearable apparatus, a short-range wireless signal from a second head-wearable apparatus, the short-range wireless signal including data that identifies a first digital effects session that is currently active on the second head-wearable apparatus. The system obtains, by the first head-wearable apparatus, information corresponding to the first digital effects session based on the data. The system, in response to obtaining the information corresponding to the first digital effects session, presents an indicator in a user interface of the first head-wearable apparatus, the indicator informing a user of the first head-wearable apparatus that one or more digital effects sessions are currently active on one or more head-wearable apparatuses within a threshold distance of the first head-wearable apparatus.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for 3D content display using head-wearable apparatuses. Example methods include a head-wearable apparatus that is configured to determine a position for a content item on a closest curved line, of a plurality of curved lines, to the head-wearable apparatus that has space for the content item. The method includes adjusting a shape of the content item based on the position of the content item on the closest curved line and a user view of a user of the head-wearable apparatus. The method includes causing the adjusted content item to be displayed on a display of the head-wearable apparatus at the position on the closest curved line. The curved lines are either higher or lower as the curved lines goes away from the head-wearable apparatus. Additionally, the curved line or the content item may be adjusted with a random movement for an organic appearance.

Abstract: A head-wearable apparatus determines an imaginary reference plane intersecting a head of a user viewing augmented content in a viewing pane having vertical and lateral dimensions in a display of the head-wearable apparatus. The imaginary reference plane coincides with a first viewing direction of the head of the user. The apparatus detects a rotational movement of the head of the user in a vertical direction while viewing the augmented content. In response to the detected rotational movement, the apparatus determines a second viewing direction of the head of the user when viewing the augmented content in the second viewing direction and determines a reference angle between the imaginary reference plane and the second viewing direction. Based on the reference angle, the apparatus assign one of a billboard display mode and a headlock display mode (or combination) to the augmented content presented in the display.

Abstract: A method for manipulating a gallery of extended reality (XR) media items displayed in a field of view of the head-worn device. The gallery of XR media items is associated with an anchor user interface element. User selection input is detected at a perceived location of the anchor user interface element. Subsequent user motion input moves the perceived location or orientation of the gallery of XR media items in the field of view of the head-worn device. Rotation or translation of the anchor user interface elements results in a corresponding rotation and/or translation of all of the items in the gallery of XR media items.

Abstract: A method for transferring a media item from a portable device to a head-worn device for display in an augmented reality mood board comprises receiving user input at the portable device to transfer the media item from the portable device to the head-worn device, and transmitting, via a short-range data transmission protocol, a low-resolution representation of the media item, from the portable device to the head-worn device. A link to a higher-resolution representation may also be transmitted to the head-worn device, to enable the head-worn device to obtain the higher-resolution representation. The transmission of the low-resolution representation may commence as soon as initiation of the gesture is detected by the portable device.

Abstract: A method performed by a computing system for directing a voice command to a function associated with a visual target includes receiving a set of time-variable sensor-based data streams, including an audio data stream and a targeting data stream. The targeting data stream is stored in a buffer as buffered targeting data. Presence of a spoken utterance is identified within the audio data stream and is associated with a temporal identifier corresponding in time to the set of sensor-based data streams. A voice command corresponding to the spoken utterance is identified. A visual targeting vector within the buffered targeting data and a visual target of that visual targeting vector is identified at a time corresponding to the temporal identifier. The voice command is directed to a function associated with the visual target to generate an output.

The processor is configured to receive a command from a user by way of natural language input. The processor is configured to identity a set of candidate objects within or adjacent a user's field of view having associated spatialized regions on which the command can be executed, the set of candidate objects identified at least partially by using a machine learning model. The processor is configured to use visual or audio indicators associated with the candidate objects and query the user for disambiguation input. The processor is configured to receive the disambiguation input from the user that selects a target object, executing the command on the target object. The processor is configured to train the machine learning model using the disambiguation input and data about the spatialized regions.
