    Abstract: Touch detection may include determining, based on data from an IMU on a first device that monitors movement of a touching object, a touch event, wherein the touch event indicates contact between the touching object and a surface, obtaining a depth image captured by a second device, comprising a touch image, determining a touch point of the object based on the touch image, and providing a response based on the touch point of the object and the touched surface.

    Abstract: Touch detection using a mirror accessory may include obtaining first image data comprising a touching object and a target surface, wherein the first image data captures a scene comprising the touching object and the target surface from the viewpoint of a camera, obtaining second image data comprising the touching object and the target surface, wherein the second image data captures the touching object and the target surface as a reflection in a mirror that is separate from the target surface, determining a pose of the mirror in the scene, determining a pose of the touching object in the scene based on the first image data, the second image data, and the pose of the mirror, and estimating a touch status between the touching object and the target surface based on the determined pose of the touching object and a pose of the target surface.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to remote touch detection. In some examples, a first electronic device obtains first image data and second image data about an input, and performs an operation based on the input in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the first image data and the second image data. In some examples, a first electronic device causes emission of infrared light by an infrared source of a second electronic device, obtains image data about an input, and performs an operation based on the input in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the image data.
