Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that are capable of adjusting the appearance of computer-generated objects (e.g., augmentations) that are predicted to be outside the current focus of an optical-see-through HMD user's attention. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a first computer-generated object and a second computer-generated object on an optical-see-though display of a HMD. In some implementations, the first computer-generated object is identified based on a prediction that the attention of a user is directed to the first computer-generated object, and an appearance of the second computer-generated object is adjusted to change from a first state to a second state.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein improve the appearance of captured video by accounting for light-based flicker and/or other factors affecting the appearance of video captured by a wearable electronic device. Some implementations are used with head-mounted devices (HMDs) that relay one or more front-facing camera feeds to display panels in front of the user's eyes. Some implementations adjust the exposure of one or more cameras of such a device based on assessing the lighting in the physical environment being captured in images/video by the cameras. Camera exposure may be adjusted (e.g., using discrete levels of exposure that are an even multiple of a light flicker rate) to reduce the appearance of flicker from one or more light sources in the physical environment. Whether and how to adjust exposure to reduce flicker may be based on environmental characteristics corresponding to visibility/objectionability of flicker from one or more light sources.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide power efficient object detection for electronic devices. Power efficient object detection can be provided in order to allow extended tracking of objects by portable devices such as battery powered devices. In one or more implementations, a recommendation engine including a machine learning model and/or a rule-based recommendation process may be provided that has been trained to output a sensor recommendation indicating at least one sensor for object tracking. The sensor recommendation can indicate which of several sensors to operate to track a particular object and/or an accuracy level for operating the recommended sensor.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a visual marker including a plurality of markings arranged in a corresponding plurality of shapes. In some implementations, each marking is formed of a set of sub-markings separated by gaps and arranged according to a respective shape, and the gaps of the plurality of markings are configured to encode data and indicate orientation of the visual marker. In some implementations, the plurality of markings are arranged in a plurality of concentric rings of increasing size. In some implementations, the orientation is encoded in a first set of gaps and data in a second set of gaps of the gaps in the plurality of markings.
