Patent number: 12242672Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure can trigger an action based on a motion detected by an artificial reality (XR) device, such as a head-mounted display (HMD). The XR device can display an XR experience to a user. While displaying the XR experience, the XR device can detect a physical interaction with the XR device using one of more sensors (e.g., sensors of an inertial measurement unit (IMU)). The physical interaction can generate a movement profile captured by the one or more sensors. The XR device can identify the physical interaction as a particular motion (e.g., one or more taps on the XR device) by applying a machine learning model to the movement profile. In response to identifying the particular motion, the XR device can trigger an action on the XR device (e.g., activating pass-through on the XR device).Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Shaik Shabnam Nizamudeen Basha, Peter Ju, Eric Leung, Pierluigi Taddei, Jianhan Xu
