  • System and method of tap detection on a three-dimensional image
    Patent number: 12254176
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device may be in communication with one or more input devices, including a camera, and a remote sensing vibrometer. In some examples, the remote sensing vibrometer may be configurable to emit, using a light source, one or more light beams that are incident on the physical surface on which the virtual image is displayed. In some examples, the remote sensing vibrometer detects contact with the physical surface based on one or more vibrations in the physical surface that are detected using the one or more light beams. In some examples, when the physical object contacts the physical surface on which the virtual image is displayed, the electronic device determines a location of the contact relative to the virtual image on the physical surface based on the detected vibrations produced by the contact of the physical object on the physical surface in the computer-generated environment.

  • Optical projector with beam monitor including sensing intensity of beam pattern not projected toward an object
    Patent number: 8829406
    Abstract: Optical apparatus includes a device package, with a radiation source contained in the package and configured to emit a beam of coherent radiation. A diffractive optical element (DOE) is mounted in the package so as to receive and diffract the radiation from the radiation source into a predefined pattern comprising multiple diffraction orders. An optical detector is positioned in the package so as to receive and sense an intensity of a selected diffraction order of the DOE.
