  • Patent number: 12669868
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to detecting and mitigating a degradation state at an artificial reality system. An artificial reality (XR) system can comprise several different input channels. The performance of one or more of these input channels, or channel fidelity, can degrade over time, such as in the presence of different operating conditions. Implementations can perform mitigation workflows to improve the channel fidelities of various input channels. When channel fidelity is improved, the input channel may be maintained as an active channel for receiving one or more types of user input. When channel fidelity is not improved, one or more other input channel(s) can be selected as the active channel(s) (e.g., replacement input channels) for receiving one or more types of user input.

  • Publication number: 20260169761
    Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing tasks between a handheld intermediary processing device (HIPD) and communicatively coupled head-wearable device are disclosed. An example method includes, while sharing graphical data between the HIPD and the head-wearable device, identifying one or more graphics processing tasks associated with the graphical data. The method further includes causing performance of the one or more graphics processing tasks at the handheld intermediary processing device to create renderable graphical data. The method also includes causing the renderable graphical data to be presented to a user at the head-wearable device.

  • Patent number: 12468556
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions for distributing tasks between a handheld intermediary processing device (HIPD) and communicatively coupled devices is disclosed. The instructions cause one or more processors to, while a HIPD and a head-wearable device are communicatively coupled and share operational data for performing one or more computational tasks, identify one or more back-end tasks and one or more front-end tasks associated with performing the one or more computational tasks. The instructions further cause performance of the one or more back-end tasks at the HIPD including updating the operational data to create updated operational data. The instructions further cause performance of the one or more front-end tasks at the head-wearable device using the updated operational data such that a representation based on the one or more computational tasks is presented to the user by the head-wearable device.
