Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby facilitating both translation and rotation of the magnet responsive to actuations by a user. The translation and rotation of the magnet may be sensed and used to identify user input provided by the user. Sensing elements integrated into a keyboard may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a human interface device may be used. Interpretation of actuation of the human interface device may be based on a location of the human interface device relative to a sensing system when the actuation is performed. Sensing elements integrated into the sensing system may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device at the location, the user input then being interpreted based on the location to provide the computer implemented services.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby encoding information regarding both of changes in position of the human interface device and actuations of the actuatable portions into a magnetic field emanating from the human interface device. Sensing elements integrated into a sensing system may be used to sense the emanating magnetic field to obtain user input from the human interface device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a human interface device may be used. Interpretation of actuation of the human interface device may be customized to the types of actuations that users are able to perform. To customize the types of the actuations, users may perform actuations of the human interface device for various types of user input to establish associations between the actuations and the user input. The associations may be used to train an inference model usable to identify user input based on performed actions of the human interface device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be repositioned thereby facilitating both translation and rotation of the magnet responsive to actuations by a user. The translation and rotation of the magnet may be sensed by a sensing system and used to identify user input provided by the user. Sensing elements integrated into the sensing system may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device, the user input then being interpreted to provide the computer implemented services.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing clamping force adjustment on a virtual reality (VR) headset. User preferences as to clamping force at one or more positions, such as rest position on top of the user's head and VR mode position on user's face, are determined. The preferences are stored in a user profile. When a user places the VR headset, clamping force at a position is measures and clamping force is adjusted at that position.
