  • Patent number: 12670671
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes rendering, for one or more displays of a XR display device, a first output image of an XR object within an XR environment in a field of view (FOV) of a first user, where the XR object has a first form, detecting a change in a context of the user with respect to the XR object, determining, based on the detected change in the context of the user, whether to invoke an attention system with respect to the XR object, and rendering, for the one or more displays of the XR display device, a second output image of the XR object responsive to invoking the attention system, where the XR object is morphed to have a second form indicating a first attention state, where the first attention state indicates a status of the XR object to interact with one or more first voice commands.

  • Patent number: 12567404
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from an extended reality (XR) display device by one or more computing systems, an audio input of a user of the XR display device, wherein the audio input includes a voice command of several voice commands associated with a first application, wherein the several voice commands are executable by a natural-language understanding (NLU) model, determining a context of the user with respect to an extended reality (XR) environment, determining, based on the context, a tunable confidence interval for the NLU model to match the audio input to the first voice command, where the tunable confidence interval varies based on user context, and where the tunable confidence interval is set to a first tunable confidence level based on the context of the user, determining, by the NLU model, whether the audio input matches the voice command based on the first tunable confidence level.

  • Patent number: 8884184
    Abstract: An apparatus for athermal ablation of a workpiece. The apparatus may include a laser device to direct a laser beam at the workpiece to remove a plurality of sections from the workpiece by athermal ablation. The removal may occur in a plurality of discrete motions that cause the laser beam to trace along outer perimeters of the sections in a specific order maintaining mechanical stability of the plurality of sections. The apparatus may further include a process gas nozzle to deliver process gas coaxially with the laser beam to clear debris and cool the workpiece, and a workpiece holder to hold and maneuver the workpiece during the removal of the plurality of sections.
