Abstract: A system for generating a voltage at a pixel array includes a plurality of display pixels forming the pixel array, each display pixel comprising a pixel circuit for driving the pixel. The system further comprises a row formatter configured to store a plurality of bits representing image data for a row of display pixels of the LCOS array; a row controller configured to write a subset of the plurality of bits representing image data for a pixel of the row into a plurality of data latches of said pixel circuit; and a waveform generator for generating reference pulses represented by a set of reference bits. The pixel circuit is configured to compare each reference bit to corresponding bits stored in the latches of each pixel circuit, and generate voltage at an electrode of each pixel based on this comparison.

Abstract: A gesture-based wake process for an AR system is described herein. The AR system places a hand-tracking input pipeline of the AR system in a suspended mode. A camera component of the hand-tracking input pipeline detects a possible visual wake command being made by a user of the AR system. On the basis of detecting the possible visual wake command, the AR system wakes the hand-tracking input pipeline and places the camera component in a fully operational mode. If the AR system, using the hand-tracking input pipeline, verifies the possible visual wake command as an actual wake command, the AR system initiates execution of an AR application.

Abstract: An eyewear device is disclosed including an illumination device including illumination sources, each illumination source including a first illuminator, a second illuminator, and a third illuminator, and a spatial light modulator coupled to the illumination device to control when each of the first, second, and third illuminators are on during an illumination frame. The spatial light modulator is adapted to turn on the first illuminator while the second and third illuminators are off, turn on the second illuminator while the first and third illuminators are off, turn on the third illuminator while the first and second illuminators are off during a third time period of the illumination frame, and turn on the first, second and third illuminators during a fourth time period. An illumination method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The subject technology detects a location and a position of a representation of a finger. The subject technology generates a first virtual object based on the location and the position of the representation of the finger. The subject technology detects a first collision event. The subject technology in response to the first collision event, modifies a set of dimensions of the second virtual object to a second set of dimensions. The subject technology detects a second location and a second position of the representation of the finger. The subject technology detects a second collision event. The subject technology modifies a set of dimensions of the third virtual object to a third set of dimensions. The subject technology renders the third virtual object based on the third set of dimensions within a third scene, the third scene comprising a modified scene from a second scene.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for generating personalized videos with customized text messages. An example method includes receiving an input text, a video template including a sequence of frame images, and at least one parameter for animation of the input text across the sequence of frame images, generating, based on the input text and the at least one parameter for animation, a configuration file including a text style for the input text for a frame in the sequence of frame images, and rendering, based on the configuration file, an output frame of an output video, where the output frame includes the frame in the sequence of frame images and a layer, and where the layer includes the input text stylized based on the text style. The method further includes providing an option enabling a user to change the at least one parameter for animation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for radial gesture navigation are provided. In example embodiments, user input data is received from a user device. The user input data indicates a continuous physical user interaction associated with a display screen of the user device. An initial point and a current point are detected from the user input data. A radius distance for a circle that includes the current point and is centered about the initial point is determined. An action is selected from among multiple actions based on the radius distance being within a particular range among successive ranges along a straight line that starts at the initial point and extends through the circle. Each range among the successive ranges corresponds to a particular action among the multiple actions. The selected action is performed in response to detecting a completion of the continuous physical user interaction.
