Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for selectively activating and suspending control of a graphical user interface by two or more electronic devices. A portable eyewear device includes a display projected onto at least one lens assembly and a primary touchpad through which the user may access a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display. A handheld accessory device, such as a ring, includes an auxiliary touchpad that is configured to emulate the primary touchpad. The eyewear processor temporarily suspends inputs from one touchpad when it detects an activation signal from the other touchpad.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for using a handheld device such as a ring to manipulate a virtual object being displayed by a wearable device such as eyewear. The path of the virtual object in motion is substantially linked, in time and space, to the course traveled by a hand holding the handheld device. The methods in some implementations include presenting the virtual object on a display at a first location relative to a three-dimensional coordinate system, collecting motion data from an inertial measurement unit on the handheld device, displaying the virtual object at a second location along a path based on the motion data. In some implementations the eyewear includes a projector located and configured to project the display onto a lens assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering three-dimensional (3D) scenes having improved visual characteristics from a pair of 2D images having different viewpoints. The 3D scene is created by obtaining a first two-dimensional (2D) image of a scene object from a first viewpoint, obtaining a second 2D image of the scene object from a second viewpoint that is different than the first viewpoint, creating a depth map from the first and second 2D images, creating a 3D scene from the depth map and the first and second 2D images, detecting regions of the initial 3D scene with incomplete image information, reconstructing the detected regions of the 3D scene, determining replacement information and modify the reconstructed regions, and rendering the 3D scene with the modified reconstructed regions from a plurality of viewpoints.

Abstract: Three-dimensional image calibration and presentation for eyewear including a pair of image capture devices is described. Calibration and presentation includes obtaining a calibration offset to accommodate flexure in the support structure for the eyewear, adjusting a three-dimensional rendering offset by the obtained calibration offset, and presenting the stereoscopic images using the three-dimension rendering offset.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a tracing system or a tracing method that enables an installed software application to be launched with relevant data regarding a user's activity on the client device before installation of the software application. A tracing system of an embodiment may comprise one or more of a server including a database, a web page module configured to be integrated in a website, and an application module configured to be integrated in a software application.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed that relate to contact lenses having multiple power sources. In particular, in one aspect, a contact lens can include a transparent substrate and a circuit. The circuit can include one or more sensors, circuitry, one or more photovoltaic cells disposed on or within at least a portion of the substrate, and a hybrid power component that supplies power to the circuitry that includes solar power.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for composing and sharing a message based on the motion of a handheld electronic device such as a ring. The methods in some implementations include presenting a keyboard on a display, collecting course data associated with a course traveled by the ring, and overlying a trace onto the keyboard, such that the trace is correlated in near real-time with the course traveled by the ring. In some implementations the display element is part of a portable device, such as the lens of an electronic eyewear device. Based on the course data relative to the key locations on the keyboard, the system identifies and presents candidate words to be included in a message.
