    Abstract: Various implementations track an eye using both camera images and light sensor data, e.g., from a photosensitive surface or set of photodetectors. The camera need not capture images at a high capture rate since the light sensor data captured from the light sensor provides information about the eye during the time periods between camera frames. An eye tracking device may thus provide eye tracking with high temporal resolution using less power and resources and prior devices. The eye tracking device includes a lens (e.g., a diffractive optical element (DOE)) that splits received light onto the camera and light sensor. The camera and light sensor may be aligned, e.g., co-centered. Using such a lens to provide light to an aligned camera and light sensor facilitates tracking the eye characteristics by reducing the need for matching the data and/or accounting for multiple environmental light sources.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate performing registration of a first image to a second image where the first image is undistorted to linear space before applying a geometric transformation matrix to modify the first image to align with the second image. The geometric transformation matrix may be a linear matrix that causes the undistorted version of the first image to make translation movement, rotational movement or both. The undistorted and modified first image is then reverted back to nonlinear distorted space. Then the reverted first image may be warped to better align with the second image for fusing with the second image. In this way, visual distortions in the fused image such as wobbling may be reduced or eliminated.

    Abstract: Modifications made by multiple controller devices to an environment model describing a shared automated environment can be coordinated. One of the controller devices can be designated as a coordinator, and any controller device other than the coordinator can send an update request to the coordinator. The coordinator can determine whether to accept or reject the requested modification and can report its determination to the requesting controller device. If the coordinator accepts the request, the coordinator can instigate operations to update the environment model across all controller devices of all users. If the coordinator rejects the request, the environment model is not updated. The controller device that made the request can update its local copy of the environment model and roll back the update if the request is rejected.

    Abstract: An electronic device, such as a watch, has an input mechanism, such as a crown, that may receive translational inputs, rotational inputs, and/or touch inputs. Inputs received at the crown may result in changes in operation of the electronic device and/or outputs, such as graphical outputs, provided by the electronic device. In various embodiments, the crown includes a retainer that couples an outer crown body to an inner crown body and secures an isolator between the outer crown body and the inner crown body. The embodiments of the crown described herein provide a simple and robust input mechanism for receiving rotational, translational, and touch inputs as described above, while simplifying part alignment, ensuring consistent rotation, and allowing for efficient manufacturing.

    Abstract: A system may include an electronic device such as a head-mounted device and a handheld controller for controlling the electronic device. The handheld controller may have a housing with an elongated shaft extending between first and second tip portions. The handheld controller may have power receiving circuitry configured to receive power from a power source. The power source may be incorporated into an electronic device such as a wireless charging dock or stick, a battery case, or a head-mounted device. The power source may supply power through terminals that form ohmic contacts with mating terminals in the finger device or may transmit power wirelessly using capacitive coupling or inductive charging arrangements. Magnets may be used to hold and align the elongated shaft of the handheld controller on the power source.
