Abstract: A free space input standard is instantiated on a processor. Free space input is sensed and communicated to the processor. If the free space input satisfies the free space input standard, a touch screen input response is invoked in an operating system. The free space input may be sensed using continuous implicit, discrete implicit, active explicit, or passive explicit approaches. The touch screen input response may be invoked through communicating virtual touch screen input, a virtual input event, or a virtual command to or within the operating system. In this manner free space gestures may control existing touch screen interfaces and devices, without modifying those interfaces and devices directly to accept free space gestures.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for sensing an input in an augmented reality construct. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a mixed-reality device, comprises memory and one or more processors communicatively coupled to a sensor, a touch device, and a display device that is at least partially transparent and configured to display a virtual object. The store instructions executable by the one or more processors to generate virtual object data for displaying a virtual object by the display device; output the virtual object data to the display device; receive, from the sensor, interaction data corresponding to a free-space interaction by a hand of a user with the virtual object; generate touch input data based on the interaction data; and output the touch input data to the touch device.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for sensing an input in an augmented reality construct. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device and a sensor. The processing device may be configured to determine a virtual boundary within an augmented reality construct, define a first portion of the virtual boundary within the augmented reality construct, and define a second portion of the virtual boundary within the augmented reality construct. The sensor may be sense a first input from an end-effector within the first portion of the virtual boundary and sense a second input from the end-effector within the second portion of the virtual boundary, where the processing device may further generate a device input that corresponds to the first input and the second input and send the device input to another device.

Abstract: Left and right visual feeds are configured to form contiguous non-stereo left, stereo central, and non-stereo right display regions. Viewed together, an appearance of full-width stereo three-dimensionality may be achieved. The left and right display regions have the brightness of the left or right feeds respectively, while the central display region has the combined brightness of the left and right feeds. The parts of the left and right feeds that cooperate to form the stereo central display region may be scaled in brightness, so that the central display area is of uniform brightness with the left and right display areas, or smoothly varying, continuous, varying in a controlled manner, etc., rather than appearing as a sharply-defined area twice as bright as the left and right display areas. Scaling profiles may be uniform step-downs, linearly decreasing, quadratically decreasing, otherwise curved, some combination thereof, etc.
