Publication number: 20240078700Abstract: An imaging system can receive an image of a portion of an environment. The environment can include an object, such as a hand or a display. The imaging device can identify a data stream from an external device, for instance by detecting the data stream in the image or by receiving the data stream wirelessly from the external device. The imaging device can detect a condition based on the image and/or the data stream, for instance by detecting that the object is missing from the image, by detecting that a low resource at the imaging device, and/or by detecting visual media content displayed by a display in the image. Upon detecting the condition, imaging device automatically determines a location of the object (or a portion thereof) using the data stream and/or the image. The imaging device generates and/or outputs content that is based on the location of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Bijan FORUTANPOUR, Sebastien MOUNIER, Jonathan KIES
