Patent number: 12254176Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Dan Nussinson, Yoed Arieli, Jonathan Hauser, Oriel Y.
