    Abstract: A method for AR-guided depth estimation is described. The method includes identifying a virtual object rendered in a first frame that is generated based on a first pose of an augmented reality (AR) device, determining a second pose of the AR device, the second pose following the first pose, identifying an augmentation area in the second frame based on the virtual object rendered in the first frame, and the second pose, determining depth information for the augmentation area in the second frame, and rendering the virtual object in the second frame based on the depth information.

    Abstract: A method for detecting changes in a scene includes accessing a first set of images and corresponding pose data in a first coordinate system associated with a first user session of an augmented reality (AR) device and accessing a second set of images and corresponding pose data in a second coordinate system associated with a second user session. The method identifies the first set of images corresponding to a second image from the second set of images based on the pose data of the first set of images being determined spatially closest to the pose data of the second image after aligning the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system. A trained neural network generates a synthesized image from the first set of images. Features of the second image are subtracted from features of the synthesized image. Area of changes are identified based on the subtracted features.

    Abstract: Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience between two eyewear devices by using alignment between respective 6DOF trajectories, also referred to herein as ego motion alignment. An eyewear device of user A and an eyewear device of user B track the eyewear device of the other user, or an object of the other user, such as on the user's face, to provide the collaborative AR experience. This enables sharing common three-dimensional content between multiple eyewear users without using or aligning the eyewear devices to common image content such as a marker, which is a more lightweight solution with reduced computational burden on a processor. An inertial measurement unit may also be used to align the eyewear devices.

    Abstract: An extended Reality (XR) display system includes a Light Emitting Diode (LED) display controller, and a Light Emitting Diode (LED) near-eye display element operatively coupled to the LED display driver. The LED near-eye display element includes one or more motors and an LED array operably connected to the one or more motors. During operation, the LED display driver receives video data including a rendered virtual object of an XR experience and generates LED array control signals based on the video data, the LED array control signals causing one or more LEDs of the LED array to be energized in a sequence. The LED display driver also generates synchronized motor control signals and simultaneously communicates the LED array control signals to the LED array and the synchronized motor control signals to the one or more motors causing the LED near-eye display element to display the rendered virtual object.
