    Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for electronic wearable devices such as smart glasses are described. The wearable device can comprise a housing, an image capture component, a locking component, and a control component. The housing defines an imaging aperture. The image capture component is coupled to the housing and aligned with the imaging aperture. The image capture component is configured to capture image data of a field of view aligned with the imaging aperture. The locking component is coupled to the image capture component. The locking component modifies a capture state of the image capture component to selectively enable image capture in response to a selection releasing the locking component. The control component is coupled to the locking component. Interaction with the control component comprises the selection releasing the locking component and triggering modification of the capture state of the image capture component.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

    Abstract: A method for improving the startup time of a six-degrees of freedom tracking system is described. An augmented reality system receives a device initialization request and activates a first set of sensors in response to the device initialization request. The augmented reality system receives first tracking data from the first set of sensors. The augmented reality system receives an augmented reality experience request and in response to the augmented reality request, causes display of a set of augmented reality content items based on the first tracking data and simultaneously activates a second set of sensors. The augmented reality system receives second tracking data from the activated second set of sensors. The augmented reality system updates the display of the set of augmented reality content items based on the second tracking data.
