  • Publication number: 20240302894
    Abstract: A method for operating smart glasses for the augmented presentation of information objects on a display surface on the basis of a smart glasses pose in a vehicle interior is provided. The smart glasses pose is ascertained by inside-out tracking on at least one marker provided fixedly in a vehicle interior or at least one object provided in the vehicle interior. The at least one marker or the at least one object can be located by a computer-assisted pattern recognition method which is applied to a camera image of a smart glasses camera so that the smart glasses pose relative to the vehicle interior can be determined on the basis of a position, size and/or orientation of the at least one marker or of the at least one object. Only the camera image outside of a masking region is taken into account for the pattern recognition method.

  • Publication number: 20240302895
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for enabling a user to obtain additional information about a content. In one embodiment, the process starts by collecting, from at least one sensor, eye gazing data relating to eye movement of the user looking at a content. User's saccade rate is calculated based collected eye gazing data. It is determined when the saccade rate falls below a first value of the viewing content of a first area and the location is flagged as a first subset. It determined when the saccade rate shifts backwards over a second subset of the content one or more times and this area is flagged as a second area. The portion of the content located between the first and second flagged areas are emphasized. Explanatory tools are provided relating to content of emphasized portion.

  • Publication number: 20240302897
    Abstract: A camera-based eye-tracking system and a data classification method for persistent human-machine interfaces (HMI). An exemplary system may employ a deep learning algorithm (e.g., convolutional neural network) for classifying eye directions. In some implementations, the pupil center corneal reflection method of an eye tracker is employed for gaze tracking. The example system can use a supervisory control and data acquisition architecture that can be universally applied to any screen-based HMI task.

    Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes displaying, on the display, a first user interface (UI) element that is associated with a first selection region and a second selection region. The method includes, while displaying the first UI element, determining, based on eye tracking data, that a targeting criterion is satisfied with respect to the first selection region or the second selection region. The eye tracking data is associated with one or more eyes of a user of the electronic device. The method includes, while displaying the first UI element, selecting the first UI element based at least in part on determining that the targeting criterion is satisfied.

    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: An operational data management system includes an operational data acquisition unit, a tag assigner, and a database management unit. The operational data acquisition unit acquires, as operational data, time-series control parameters used to transmit force tactile sensation between devices. The tag assigner assigns, as identification information, information related to operation content implemented by the operational data to the operational data acquired by the operational data acquisition unit. The database management unit accumulates a plurality of pieces of operational data assigned identification information by the tag assigner, and manages the operational data so that desired operational data is searchable from the accumulated plurality of pieces of operational data based on the identification information.
