  • Publication number: 20240104965
    Abstract: Some embodiments of this specification provide face liveness detection computer-implemented methods, devices, and media. In an example, multiple face images continuously captured for a first user are obtained. Two face images are selected from the multiple face images for a target attribute in one or more predetermined image attributes, where a degree of difference between two attribute values of the target attribute corresponding to the two face images satisfies a predetermined criterion. Both of the two face images are input into a pre-trained face liveness detection model corresponding to the target attribute to obtain a detection result corresponding to the target attribute.

  • Publication number: 20240094528
    Abstract: A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment may vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a user moves around and/or the HMD slips or is otherwise displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.

  • Publication number: 20240078768
    Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to learning and recognizing object-centered routines. Particularly, object-centered routines can be learned and recognized by collecting data corresponding to a user. The data can include information representing interactions by the user with respect to objects in an environment. The routine can be learned by presenting a visual graph to the user. The user can define nodes associating an interaction with an object, specify a relationship between nodes, and arrange the nodes into segments. The visual graph can be stored, and a routine can be recognized based on the visual graph.

  • Publication number: 20240027794
    Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating the speed of movement of virtual objects presented by a wearable system are described. The wearable system may present three-dimensional (3D) virtual content that moves, e.g., laterally across the user's field of view and/or in perceived depth from the user. The speed of the movement may follow the profile of an S-curve, with a gradual increase to a maximum speed, and a subsequent gradual decrease in speed until an end point of the movement is reached. The decrease in speed may be more gradual than the increase in speed. This speed curve may be utilized in the movement of virtual objections for eye-tracking calibration. The wearable system may track the position of a virtual object (an eye-tracking target) which moves with a speed following the S-curve. This speed curve allows for rapid movement of the eye-tracking target, while providing a comfortable viewing experience and high accuracy in determining the initial and final positions of the eye as it tracks the target.
