Abstract: A method for using a multi-stage in-air hand gesture to adjust volume at a pair of smart glasses and control a user interface of an application. The method includes causing display, at a pair of smart glasses, of a user interface for an application. The method further includes receiving data from a multi-stage in-air hand gesture from sensors of a wrist-wearable device and determining that the user is performing a pinch gesture for a threshold amount of time and a wrist-rotation gesture in a first rotational direction while the pinch gesture is maintained, and based on this determination, increasing a volume for speaker output at the pair of smart glasses. The method further includes determining the user is performing another pinch gesture for less than the threshold amount of time, and in response causing performance of an operation at the user interface for the application while maintaining the increased volume.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for using hand gestures detected at a wearable device to navigate a user interface. An example method includes receiving, via one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors of a wrist-wearable device worn by a user, data generated during performance of an in-air wrist movement by a wrist of the user. The method also includes moving a point of focus on the user interface in accordance with the in-air wrist movement; and receiving, via the one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors, additional data generated during performance of an in-air gesture by the user. The method further includes determining that the in-air gesture is an execution gesture; and executing a command corresponding to the execution gesture.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for tracking user movements. In one aspect, a method includes, while a user is interacting with a virtual object, obtaining tracking information by tracking, via a sensor, a position of an arm of a user. The method also includes, in conjunction with tracking the position of the arm, obtaining wrist information by detecting, via a neuromuscular-signal sensor, a movement of a wrist of the arm. The method further includes assigning one or more motion characteristics to the virtual object in accordance with the tracking information and the wrist information.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for using a multi-stage in-air hand gesture to activate user-interface interactions in a way that ensures low-false positive rates. In one aspect, a method includes, while a gating gesture is maintained, receiving a first indication of performance of an adjustment gesture of a first magnitude directed to a user interface object associated with a plurality of values. The method further includes, in response to receiving the first indication, adjusting the user interface object to have a first state after moving through some of the plurality of values based on the first magnitude. The method also includes, after receiving an indication of a release of the gating gesture, in response to receiving a second indication of performance of the adjustment gesture, forgoing adjusting the user interface object such that the user interface object continues to have the first state.

Abstract: An example method of interacting with a pair of smart glasses, includes receiving a swipe gesture at a location on a temple arm of the pair of smart glasses, and in response to receiving the swipe gesture, performing an operation at the pair of smart glasses associated with the swipe gesture. The method also includes receiving a different input at the location on the temple arm of the pair of smart glasses, and in response to receiving the different input at the location, invoking a virtual assistant that is configured to execute voice commands. The method further includes receiving another input at a different location on the temple arm, and in response to receiving the other input, performing another operation at the pair of smart glasses associated with the other input.

Abstract: A method of performing input gestures to control user interface elements is described. The method includes, at a first point in time while multi-modal gestures are available via at least two input devices associated with the artificial-reality headset, detecting a first input via an input device of the at least two input devices and performing an action at the artificial-reality headset. In response to detecting a second input via another input device of the at least two input devices, performing another action within a user interface presented via the artificial-reality headset. The method further includes, at a second point in time, after the first point in time, and while multi-modal gestures are no longer available via the at least two input devices associated with the artificial-reality headset, detecting the first input via the input device of the at least two input devices.
