  • Publication number: 20250118014
    Abstract: An extended Reality (XR) system provides methodologies for clipping virtual content displayed to a user. The XR system generates an XR user interface with virtual content using an XR user interface model. The XR system generates clipped virtual content from the virtual content by clipping virtual content that is located outside of the user's stereoscopic field of view and provides the XR user interface containing the clipped virtual content to the user.

  • Publication number: 20250093665
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may include display projectors and waveguides. The head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing in which the display projectors and waveguides are mounted. The head-mounted housing may have a housing wall forming cavities containing the display projectors and waveguides. A moisture-impermeable cover may be used to cover and protect each of the display projectors. The cover may be formed from an elastomeric sock. The sock may have an opening that allows the display projector to emit image light that is received by a corresponding one of waveguides.

  • Patent number: 12253675
    Abstract: Eyewear with camera-based compensation that improves the user experience of eyewear devices for user's having partial blindness or complete blindness. To compensate for blindness, the camera-based compensation uses eyewear cameras to communicate a video feed, and a microphone to provide an optional audio feed, to a remote operator of a remote device to responsively assist the user to complete a task. For example, the user may want audio advice on how to navigate a crowded scene or unknown obstacle. The camera-based compensation is configured to receive instructions from the remote operator to navigate, such as by receiving audio instructions.
