Abstract: Systems and methods for device handshaking are described. Embodiments for client device and associated wearable device initiated handshaking are described. In certain embodiments, a device such as wearable camera eyeglasses having both high-speed wireless circuitry and low-power wireless circuitry communicates with a client device. The low-power wireless circuitry is used for signaling and to manage power on handshaking for the high-speed circuitry in order to reduce power consumption. An analysis of a high-speed connection status may be performed by a client device, and used to conserve power at the glasses with signaling from the client device to indicate when the high-speed circuitry of the glasses should be powered on.

Abstract: Systems and methods for camera devices with low boot time are provided. In one example embodiment, a user input is received at an interface of a camera. In response to the user input, a low-power processor boots a image processor. The image processor then captures camera data and writes the camera data to memory before automatically powering down. In certain embodiments, a low-power wireless connection from the camera to a client device is established. Based on this connection, the low-power processor initiates boot-up of a high-speed processor and wireless communication circuitry, which is used to transmit the camera data to the client device.

Abstract: An extended Reality (XR) system provides methodologies for clipping virtual content displayed to a user. The XR system generates an XR user interface with virtual content using an XR user interface model. The XR system generates clipped virtual content from the virtual content by clipping virtual content that is located outside of the user's stereoscopic field of view and provides the XR user interface containing the clipped virtual content to the user.

Abstract: Eyewear with camera-based compensation that improves the user experience of eyewear devices for user's having partial blindness or complete blindness. To compensate for blindness, the camera-based compensation uses eyewear cameras to communicate a video feed, and a microphone to provide an optional audio feed, to a remote operator of a remote device to responsively assist the user to complete a task. For example, the user may want audio advice on how to navigate a crowded scene or unknown obstacle. The camera-based compensation is configured to receive instructions from the remote operator to navigate, such as by receiving audio instructions.

Abstract: Systems, computer readable medium and methods for improved boot time for autonomous drones are disclosed. Autonomous drones are disclosed that include an Off State and a Power off State. The Off State appears to a user of the autonomous drone as if the autonomous drone is off, but the Off State maintains some of the autonomous drone's state such as the operating system being loaded in a memory. The autonomous drone enters the Power off State, where all or substantially all the power is turned off, from the Off State based on a timeout or a power level of a battery dropping below a threshold level. The Off State reduces the boot time of the autonomous drone compared with the Power off State. The time reduction is often less than ten seconds, but this time is beneficial for situations where a user would like the autonomous drone to immediately perform photography.
