  • Publication number: 20250093868
    Abstract: Technology for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that allows a drone to be flown along a computed spline, while also accommodating in-flight modifications. In various implementations, a UAV includes a flight control subsystem and an electromechanical subsystem. The flight control subsystem records keyframes during flight and computes a spline based on the keyframes. The flight control subsystem then saves the computed spline for playback, at which time the UAV automatically flies in accordance with the computed spline.

  • Publication number: 20250080838
    Abstract: A head mounted display system can process images by assessing relative motion between the head mounted display and one or more features in a user's environment. The assessment of relative motion can include determining whether the head mounted display has moved, is moving and/or is expected to move with respect to one or more features in the environment. Additionally or alternatively, the assessment can include determining whether one or more features in the environment have moved, are moving and/or are expected to move relative to the head mounted display. The image processing can further include determining one or more virtual image content locations in the environment that correspond to a location where renderable virtual image content appears to a user when the location appears in the display and comparing the one or more virtual image content locations in the environment with a viewing zone.
