Publication number: 20250224909Abstract: Wearable head-mounted displays, such as virtual reality systems, present immersive experiences and environments to a wearer. However, the head-mounted displays, as well as the immersive environments that they produce, limit the wearer's ability to interact with outside observers. For example, a wearer may not be able to see outside observers, and outside observers may not have any insight to what the wearer is experiencing or where the wearer's attention is directed. Accordingly, a wearable electronic device may include an outward-facing display configured to display information to outside observers, such as images of the wearer's face or images that represent or indicate the state of the wearer and/or the head mounted display.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Inventors: Jonathan Ive, Julian Hoenig, Julian Jaede, Seung Wook Kim, Chris Wilson, William A.

Patent number: 12348704Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have a number of independently controllable viewing zones. A eye and/or head tracking system may use a camera to capture images of a viewer of the display. Control circuitry in the electronic device may use the captured images from the eye and/or head tracking system to determine which viewing zones are occupied by the viewer's eyes. The control circuitry may disable or dim viewing zones that are not occupied by the viewer's eyes in order to conserve power. An unoccupied viewing zone and an adjacent, occupied viewing zone may display the same image to increase sharpness in the display.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2023Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Inventors: Yi-Pai Huang, Felipe Bacim De Araujo E Silva, Ping-Yen Chou, ByoungSuk Kim, Chaohao Wang, Yi Huang, Michael J.

Publication number: 20250182404Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to generation of four-dimensional (4D) content models, such as 4D content models to render realistic sequences of frames of 3D data. The systems can initialize a 3D component of the 4D content model, such as a 3D Gaussian splatting representation, based at least on a prompt for the 4D content. The system can configure motion and/or dynamics for the sequence of frames by evaluating frames rendered from the 4D content model using one or more latent diffusion models (LDMs), including a video LDM. The system can perform operations such as autoregressive generation of frames to create long sequences of content, motion amplification to facilitate realistic, dynamic motion generation, and regularization to facilitate generation of complex dynamics.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2024Publication date: June 5, 2025Applicant: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Karsten Julian KREIS, Seung Wook KIM, Huan LING, Sanja FIDLER

Patent number: 12294692Abstract: An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display with a plurality of lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have different viewing zones that account for horizontal parallax as a viewer moves horizontally relative to the display. The display may be dimmed globally, blurred, and/or composited with a default image based on the detected vertical position of the viewer. The display may render content that compensates for the real-time vertical positions of multiple viewers.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2023Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Pavel V Dudrenov, Zachary D Corley, Edwin Iskandar, Felipe Bacim De Araujo E Silva, Seung Wook Kim, Yang Li, Menelik Baye Yimam, Gilles M Cadet

Patent number: 12288277Abstract: In various examples, high-precision semantic image editing for machine learning systems and applications are described. For example, a generative adversarial network (GAN) may be used to jointly model images and their semantic segmentations based on a same underlying latent code. Image editing may be achieved by using segmentation mask modifications (e.g., provided by a user, or otherwise) to optimize the latent code to be consistent with the updated segmentation, thus effectively changing the original, e.g., RGB image. To improve efficiency of the system, and to not require optimizations for each edit on each image, editing vectors may be learned in latent space that realize the edits, and that can be directly applied on other images with or without additional optimizations. As a result, a GAN in combination with the optimization approaches described herein may simultaneously allow for high precision editing in real-time with straightforward compositionality of multiple edits.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Huan Ling, Karsten Kreis, Daiqing Li, Seung Wook Kim, Antonio Torralba Barriuso, Sanja Fidler

Publication number: 20250130651Abstract: A physical keyboard can be used to collect user input in a typing mode or in a tracking mode. To use a tracking mode, first movement data is detected for a hand of a user in relation to a physical keyboard at a first location. A determination is made that the first movement data is associated with a tracking movement. In response to determining that the movement type is associated with the tracking movement, a tracking mode is initiated. User input is provided based on the movement data and in accordance with the tracking mode. Contact data and non-contact data is used to determine a user intent, and a user instruction is processed based on the user intent.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Michele Stoppa, Waleed Abdulla, Henning Tjaden, Sree Harsha Kalli, Senem E.

Publication number: 20250022392Abstract: A head-mounted device may have an inner display that displays images for a user and an outer display that informs nearby people of the status of the user and inner display. For example, the outer display may display an image of a face, an abstract layer, or both, depending on whether the inner display is operating in passthrough mode, mixed reality mode, or virtual reality mode. An ambient light sensor in the head-mounted device may be used to measure the brightness and color of ambient light. The white point of the face layer on the outer display may be adapted to the color of ambient light, whereas the white point of the abstract layer on the outer display may remain fixed. The white point of a display may be a correlated color temperature setting (e.g., measured in degrees Kelvin) that determines the warmth or coolness of displayed colors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2023Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Harini Kishan, Ralf Habel, Zhen Zhang, Yi Huang, Miguel Angel Lopez Alvarez, Shobhit Chaudhry, Pavel V Dudrenov, Gilles M Cadet, Ping-Yen Chou, Yang Li, Kevin Cossu, Alfred B Huergo Wagner, Seung Wook Kim, Felipe Bacim De Araujo E Silva, Jessica Murphy, Lincoln-Shaun Sanders, Francisco H Imai, Jiaying Wu, Juan He, Jackson K Roland
