Abstract: Methods and systems for interacting with an augmented reality application includes a providing an array of barometric pressure sensors within a housing of a wearable device to capture pressure variances detected from motion of one or more facial features that are proximate to the array of barometric pressure sensors. The pressure variances are analyzed to identify motion metrics related to the motion of the facial features. The motion metrics are used to derive engagement metrics of the user to content of the augmented reality application presented to the user.

Abstract: An assembly includes a movable laser projector configured to project images and to also act as a mapping apparatus such as a LIDAR apparatus configured to generate a data structure representing a three-dimensional map of a space. A head mount (HM) includes a camera to generate signals representing the gaze direction of the wearer of the HM. The laser projector moves according to the signals to project images in the space using the data structure generated by the mapping apparatus.

Abstract: First and second resilient deformable spheres each have a pattern such as dots or a grid of lines projected or printed/deposited onto their inner surfaces, a camera positioned to image the pattern. When the spheres are deformed, the patterns are distorted. Distortions in the patterns are mapped to input signals to a computer simulation or other computer program. The spheres may each be attached to respective ends of a hollow tube also bearing the pattern such that not only can the spheres be squeezed, but the assembly also can be twisted to deform the pattern in the tube for further correlation to input signals.

Abstract: Images of distortions in a pattern on the interior of a hollow hand-grippable object are input to a machine learning (ML) model, which is trained to return a command responsive to the inputting. The command is used for controlling play of at least one computer simulation.

Abstract: A global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a transmitter are at a base remote from a drone, and the transmitter sends GPS packets along with control packets to the drone. In turn, the drone also has a GPS receiver and a transmitter that transmits both the controller and drone GPS coordinates to the remote base. A management app for law enforcement is provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to unmanned aerial vehicles or drones that have a capability of quickly swapping batteries. This may be accomplished even as the drone continues to fly. A drone consistent with the present disclosure may drop one battery and pickup another using an attachment mechanism. Attachment mechanisms of the present disclosure may include electro-magnets, mechanical actuators, pins, or hooks. Systems consistent with the present disclosure may also include locations where replacement batteries may be provided to aircraft via actuation devices coupled to a physical location.

Abstract: An eccentric magnet rotates around a spool under the influence of an electric field generated by a rotational coil surrounding the magnet to produce haptic output by rotational vibration. The ends of the spool are connected to springs, and linear actuating coils are disposed near the respective ends of the spool to cause the spool and, hence, the magnet rotating around it, to reciprocate, generating additional haptic output from the vibrations of the reciprocating motion.
