Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes a camera device configured to capture images of a physical scene and a processor configured to store a list of identified blobs. Each identified blob includes a determined blob feature and a path of tracked positions for that identified blob. The processor is configured to receive a series of images of the physical scene from the camera device, detect a candidate blob in a candidate image of the series of images, determine a blob feature of the candidate blob and a position of the candidate blob in the candidate image captured by the camera device. For each identified blob in the list, the processor is configured to compute a match score between the candidate blob and that identified blob.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to a wearable device configured to authenticate a user, associate itself with the user, and then authenticate the user to one or more other systems. One example provides a wearable device including a communication subsystem, a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem including instructions executable to receive an input of information identifying a user, based upon the input, authenticate the user as a known user within a physical environment associated with the wearable device, associate the user with the wearable device, conduct an authentication communication with another computing device within the physical environment via the communication subsystem to authenticate the user to the other computing device via the wearable device, dissociate the wearable device from the user upon occurrence of an end-of-use session event, and later authenticate a different user and associate the different user with the wearable device.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to conducting inventory management via wearable devices. One example provides a wearable device comprising a communication subsystem, one or more sensors, a logic subsystem, and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to receive an input activating the wearable device, receive via a sensor of the one or more sensors an input of information regarding a mark-out to make to inventory, provide an output confirming that the input of information was sensed, and send the information regarding the mark-out to make to inventory to an external computing device.
