  • Publication number: 20240078700
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240045515
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for tracking operations using data received from a wearable device. An example method can include determining a first position of a wearable device in a physical space; receiving, from the wearable device, position information associated with the wearable device; determining a second position of the wearable device based on the received position information; and tracking, based on the first position and the second position, a movement of the wearable device relative to an electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11861065
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for using a wearable ring device for extended reality (XR) functionalities. An example wearable device can include a structure defining a receiving space configured to receive a finger associated with a user, the structure including a first surface configured to contact the finger received via the receiving space; one or more sensors integrated into the structure, the one or more sensors being configured to detect a rotation of at least a portion of the structure about a longitudinal axis of the receiving space; and a wireless transmitter configured to send, to an electronic device, data based on the rotation.

  • Patent number: 11625091
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for generating obfuscated control interfaces for extended reality (XR) experiences. An example method can include determining a pose of an XR device within a mapped scene of a physical environment associated with the XR device; rendering a virtual control interface within the mapped scene according to a configuration including a first size, a first position relative to the pose of the XR device, a first ordering of input elements, and/or a first number of input elements; and adjusting the configuration of the virtual control interface based on a privacy characteristic of data associated with the virtual control interface and/or characteristics of the physical environment associated with the XR device, the adjusted configuration including a second size, a second ordering of input elements, a second number of input elements, and/or a second position relative to the pose of the XR device and/or first position.

  • Patent number: 11586336
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for generating private control interfaces for extended reality (XR) experiences. An example method can include determining a pose of an XR device within a mapped scene of a physical environment associated with the XR device; detecting a private region in the physical environment and a location of the private region relative to the pose of the XR device, the private region including an area estimated to be within a field of view (FOV) of a user of the XR device and out of a FOV of a person in the physical environment, a recording device in the physical environment, and/or an object in the physical environment; based on the pose of the XR device and the location of the private region, mapping a virtual private control interface to the private region; and rendering the virtual private control interface within the private region.
