  • Patent number: 12046036
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media for the customized presentation of digital information in a physical space, the method formulates information from physical space and accesses a predetermined first group of data sets of a virtual space based on the formulated information. The accessed virtual space is associated with the physical space. The method then generates a local data set associated with the first group of data sets and accesses a predetermined second group of data sets of the same virtual space. The method then transforms the second group of data sets using the local data set and provides the transformed data sets to be overlaid on the physical space.

  • Patent number: 12046004
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining pose using a trained neural network are described, whereby a user device receives image data of a 3-dimensional (“3D”) marker affixed to a 3D object to be tracked, provides a set of input data derived from the image data to a neural network stored on the user device, and generates a pose descriptor indicative of estimated pose of the 3D marker based on output of the neural network produced in response to receiving the set of input data. The 3D marker comprises a first surface to convey radiation in a first direction, and a second surface to convey radiation in a second direction different to the first direction, whereby the image processing system determines object pose from captured image data of at least a portion of the radiation conveyed from the first and/or second surface of the 3D marker affixed to the 3D object.

  • Patent number: 12039141
    Abstract: Many users access artificial reality (XR) experiences through their mobile phones. However, it is difficult to translate XR experiences to a two-dimensional (2D) screen in a way that feels intuitive and natural. Thus, the technology can map an interaction plane in a three-dimensional (3D) scene to the 2D screen with as many affordances as possible, even if the plane is not parallel to the mobile phone. The plane can be a fixed surface or a dynamically changeable surface through which the user sends inputs through the 2D screen. The mapping of the plane to the 2D screen can control interaction with a virtual object on the interaction plane in the XR environment, enabling parity between the same experience on XR and non-XR interfaces.

  • Patent number: 12005573
    Abstract: A mobility augmentation system monitors a user's motor intent data and augments the user's mobility based on the monitored motor intent data. A machine-learned model is trained to identify an intended movement based on the monitored motor intent data. The machine-learned model may be trained based on generalized or specific motor intent data (e.g., user-specific motor intent data). A machine-learned model initially trained on generalized motor intent data may be re-trained on user-specific motor intent data such that the machine-learned model is optimized to the movements of the user. The system uses the machine-learned model to identify a difference between the user's monitored movement and target movement signals. Based on the identified difference, the system determines actuation signals to augment the user's movement. The actuation signals determined can be an adjustment to a currently applied actuation such that the system optimizes the actuation strategy during application.

  • Patent number: 11998798
    Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for presenting a virtual guided fitness experience using the display of an eyewear device in augmented reality. A guided fitness application implements and controls the capturing of frames of motion data using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and video data from one or more cameras. The method includes detecting exercise motions (with or without equipment) as well as detecting and counting repetitions. Relevant data about detected motions or equipment is retrieved and used to curate the guided fitness experience. A current rep count is presented on the display along with an avatar for playing messages, performing animated demonstrations, responding to commands and queries using speech recognition, and presenting guided fitness instructions through text, audio, and video.

  • Patent number: 11995578
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improved color rendering. In some embodiments, video is captured of a real-world scene, and a region of screen content is detected in the captured video. A processor selectively applies a screen-content color transformation on the region of screen content to generate processed video, and the processed video is displayed substantially in real time, for example on a video-see-through head-mounted display. The screen-content color processing may be different for different types of external displays. The screen-content color processing may also be determined based at least in part on illumination conditions. In some embodiments, the color of displayed virtual objects is adjusted based on visual parameters of the screen content.

  • Patent number: 11987182
    Abstract: A display image to be displayed on a display unit is obtained in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver, on the basis of a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from a vehicle, when a line-of-sight of the driver is in a certain region including the display unit. For example, the display image is obtained in accordance with a deviation of a viewpoint position of the driver from a reference viewpoint position. For example, the reference viewpoint position is updated on the basis of a long-term fluctuation of the viewpoint position. For example, the reference viewpoint position is not updated when a line-of-sight of the driver is in a certain region including a display unit that displays a display image.
