Abstract: Various implementations provide views of 3D environments (e.g., extended reality (XR) environments). Non-eye-based user activity, such as hand gestures, is associated with some types of eye-based activity, such as the user gazing at a particular user interface component displayed within a view of a 3D environment. For example, a user's pinching hand gesture may be associated with the user gazing at a particular user interface component, such as a button, at around the same time as the pinching hand gesture is made. These associated behaviors (e.g., the pinch and gaze at the button) may then be interpreted as user input, e.g., user input selecting or otherwise acting upon that user interface component. In some implementations, non-eye-based user activity is only associated with types of eye-based user activity that are likely to correspond to a user perceiving what they are seeing and/or intentionally looking at something.

Abstract: An electronic device detects a change in intensity of an input on an input element that includes detecting an increase in intensity followed by a decrease in intensity, and determines whether the first decrease in intensity of the input meets up-click detection criteria, which require that the intensity of the input decrease below a first up-click intensity threshold in order for the up-click detection criteria to be met. The first up-click intensity threshold is time varying, in accordance with the detected intensity of the input during the first decrease in intensity of the input. If the first decrease in intensity of the input meets the up-click detection criteria, first feedback is provided, indicating that the first decrease in intensity of the input was recognized as an up-click, and if the first decrease in intensity of the input does not meet the up-click detection criteria, the first feedback is not provided.

Abstract: An electronic device detects a change in intensity of an input on an input element that includes detecting an increase in intensity followed by a decrease in intensity, and recognizes at least a portion of the change in intensity of the input as a first input event that is associated with a first operation, for example a single click operation. After recognizing the first input event, the device delays performance of the first operation while monitoring subsequent changes in intensity of the input for a second input event, wherein the delay is limited by a default delay time period. If the second event is recognized before default delay time period has elapsed, a second operation is performed and the first operation is not performed. However, if early-confirmation criteria for the first input event are met before the default delay period elapses, the first operation is performed.

Abstract: Suppressing a hand gesture upon detecting peripheral events on a peripheral device includes determining a first hand pose for a first hand a second hand pose for a second hand in response to a detected peripheral device peripheral event, determining, based on the first hand pose and the second hand pose, at least one hand of the first hand and the second hand in a peripheral use mode, detecting an input gesture from a hand of the at least one hand determined to be in the peripheral use mode, and rejecting the input gesture by a user input pipeline in accordance with the determination that the hand is in the peripheral use mode. The presence of a peripheral device is confirmed by activating a computer vision system in response to determining that a peripheral use condition is satisfied.

Abstract: An electronic device detects an input sequence that includes an increase in intensity of an input that corresponds to a first input event. If the input sequence includes a second input event, including a decrease in intensity of the input after the first input event, a long press is not detected and a first operation is performed. If the second input event is not detected within a second time period that is longer than the first time period and the input had a characteristic intensity above a respective intensity threshold between when the first input event was detected and when the second time period elapsed, a long press is detected on an accelerated basis, and a second operation is performed. Finally, a long press is detected if the second input event is not detected within a longer, default time period, and the second operation is performed.

Abstract: Thermal compensation can be applied to force measurements of a force-sensitive button. A temperature differential between an object and the force-sensitive button can result in changes in the reconstructed force by the force sensor due to thermal effects rather than actual user force, which in turn can result in degraded performance of the force sensor (e.g., false positive or inconsistent activation force). In some examples, a force-sensitive button can include a force sensor configured to measure an amount of force applied to the force-sensitive button, and a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature associated with the force sensor. The measured temperature can be used to compensate the amount of force measured by the force sensor based on the temperature associated with the force sensor. In some examples, the thermal compensation can be applied when an object is detected contacting the force-sensitive button (i.e., when rapid temperature differentials can occur).
