Abstract: An input device, such as a stylus, can include adjustment capabilities that changes a size, shape, stiffness, or other characteristics of a portion of the stylus, such as the tip. The size, shape, stiffness, or other characteristics of a tip of the stylus can be altered to mimic characteristics of a particular writing or drawing tool. For example, the stiffness at the tip, the weight distribution, and/or moment of inertia of a particular tool can be simulated by altering the features of the stylus.

Abstract: An assembly includes a rotatable and translatable input device having an axis of rotation, a circumference about the axis of rotation, and an optical encoder pattern disposed around the circumference. The optical encoder pattern includes a series of polygon facets about the circumference and a one-dimensional substantially retroreflective feature parallel to the axis of rotation. The assembly further includes an optical emitter configured to emit electromagnetic radiation toward the optical encoder pattern, and an optical receiver including a two-dimensional array of pixels. The optical receiver is configured to receive reflections of the emitted electromagnetic radiation from the optical encoder pattern and generate an irradiance pattern in response to the reflections. The optical emitter and the optical receiver are disposed along a sensing axis orthogonal to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: User interfaces integrating one or more hardware buttons are described, including camera user interfaces that perform different media capture operations (e.g., different types of captures, synthetic depth-of-field operations, and/or changes to the camera user interface) in response to presses of different buttons and/or in response to different types of button presses, user interfaces that provide different responses to button presses inside and outside of a camera application, and user interfaces that provide different settings functions in response to different types of button presses.

Abstract: While outputting audio content, a wearable audio output device detects a gesture performed by a hand of a user of the wearable audio output device. In response to detecting the gesture, the wearable audio output device performs a first operation corresponding to the gesture in accordance with a determination that the gesture is detected within a respective distance of a side of the user's head and is a first type of hand gesture determined based at least in part on a shape of the hand during performance of the gesture. In response to detecting the gesture, the wearable audio output device forgoes performing the first operation in accordance with a determination that the gesture is not the first type of hand gesture determined based at least in part on a shape of the hand during performance of the gesture.

Abstract: While a view of an environment is visible via a display generation component, a computer system displays a user interface including one or more user interface objects. The computer system detects, via one or more input devices, one or more inputs; and, if the one or more inputs include a first input performed using a first input manipulator and a second input performed using a second input manipulator distinct from the first input manipulator, where the first input and the second input meet concurrency criteria, the computer system: provides a first input event for the first input to a first application and a second input event for the second input to the first application. The first input includes information identifying a target location and the second input event also includes information identifying the target location.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a laptop computer may have an upper housing and a lower housing. The lower housing may have a clutch barrel. The upper housing may be coupled to the clutch barrel by a hinge. The lower housing may have an upper metal wall separated from the upper housing by a first gap and a lower metal wall separated from the upper housing by a second gap. The clutch barrel may include a conductor. An antenna may be formed from a radiating slot in the conductor. The radiating slot may have a tunnel extending from a first opening to a second opening in the conductor across a diameter of the conductor. The tunnel may be linear or non-linear. The tunnel may have a uniform or tapered width. The radiating slot may convey radio-frequency signals through both gaps regardless of the orientation of the upper housing.

Abstract: A head-mountable display device can include a structural frame, where a first mounting bracket can be coupled to a first side of the structural frame. In some examples, the first mounting structure can include a cantilever arm. A second mounting bracket can be coupled to a second side of the structural frame opposite the first side, where the second mounting bracket can include a mounting arm, a sensor coupled to the cantilever arm, and a display assemble slidably coupled to the mounting arm.
