Abstract: A method for optical sensing includes providing a mirror comprising a central reflective region surrounded by a peripheral glare-suppressing region. A beam of light from a laser light source is directed to reflect from the central region so as to pass through an output optic along an axis toward a target scene. The light returned from the target scene through the output optic is focused onto an optical sensor, via collection optics having a collection aperture surrounding the mirror.

Abstract: Sensing apparatus includes a projector, which projects toward a target a pattern of spots extending over a predefined angular range about a projection axis. An imaging assembly includes an image sensor and objective optics, which form on the image sensor an image of the target along an imaging axis, which is offset transversely relative to the projection axis. A processor is configured to process signals output by the image sensor so as generate, while the target is within a first span of distances from the apparatus, a depth map of the target responsively to shifts of the spots in the image, and to estimate, while the target is within a second span of distances, nearer to the apparatus than the first span, a distance to the target from the apparatus by detecting in the image a part of the pattern located at an edge of the angular range.

Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device may be in communication with one or more input devices, including a camera, and a remote sensing vibrometer. In some examples, the remote sensing vibrometer may be configurable to emit, using a light source, one or more light beams that are incident on the physical surface on which the virtual image is displayed. In some examples, the remote sensing vibrometer detects contact with the physical surface based on one or more vibrations in the physical surface that are detected using the one or more light beams. In some examples, when the physical object contacts the physical surface on which the virtual image is displayed, the electronic device determines a location of the contact relative to the virtual image on the physical surface based on the detected vibrations produced by the contact of the physical object on the physical surface in the computer-generated environment.
