Abstract:
Various arrangements for using an augmented reality device are presented. Speech spoken by a person in a real-world scene may be captured by an augmented reality (AR) device. It may be determined that a second AR device is to receive data on the speech. The second AR device may not have been present for the speech when initially spoken. Data corresponding to the speech may be transmitted to the second augmented reality device.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide a method for scheduling background processes. The method begins when a task scheduler requests a SAR severity level from the application processor. The application processor then requests the SAR severity level from the modem. Upon receipt of the SAR severity level the task scheduler then determines if the SAR severity level is high. If the SAR severity level is high, the task scheduler waits a predetermined time and then requests a further SAR severity level. This process continues until the SAR severity level returned in within a normal level. At that time, the background process is scheduled. This prioritizes transmission. The apparatus includes a task scheduler in communication with an application processor and a modem in communication with the application processor. The task scheduler may include a memory and a timer.
Abstract:
Various arrangements for defining a marker are presented. A first defined marker presented by a public display device may be determined to be insufficient for use by a head mounted display. The first defined marker may be used as a reference point for positioning information for display by the head mounted display. In response to determining that the first defined marker is insufficient, a second marker displayed by the public display device may be defined. The second marker may have a display characteristic different from the first defined marker. The second defined marker may then be used as the reference point for positioning the information for display by the head mounted display. An indication of the second marker may be transmitted to the head mounted display.
Abstract:
Various arrangements for controlling a head-mounted display of an augmented reality display are presented. A head-mounted display may be provided and may be configured to present a virtual field of view comprising a virtual object superimposed on a real-world scene. A controller may be provided and configured to modify display of the virtual object by the head-mounted display based on a first color of a real-world object in the real-world scene. The virtual object in the virtual field of view may be superimposed over the real-world object. A lumen output of the head-mounted display for displaying the virtual object may be decreased.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for displaying information in various display regions within wearable display devices in a manner that enhances user experience. The wearable display devices may include a flexible display region and may be capable of operating in a wrinkled state. In one aspect, a wearable display device includes a plurality of sensors configured to determine the state of the display. The sensors may, for example, be configured to detect pressure, light, and/or deformation. In some aspects, the device includes a processor configured to provide image data to the display. In some aspects, the processor is capable of changing at least one characteristic of the image data provided to the display based at least in part on input received from the sensors. For example, the processor may re-size an image and/or deactivate a portion of the display.
Abstract:
In an example, a method includes determining, by an electronic device, a user experience metric associated with content captured by at least one camera of the electronic device. The method also includes adjusting at least one operating parameter of the device to produce an operating characteristic target, wherein the adjustment is based on an estimated change to the determined user experience metric due to the adjustment.
Abstract:
Various arrangements are presented for positioning virtual objects displayed by a head-mounted display. A location of a person within a real-world scene may be determined. A virtual object may be displayed to a user such that the virtual object is superimposed over the face of the person.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for deductively determining a resolution setting for an imaging device based on one or more features of a scene are disclosed. The features may include the size of primary or foreground faces within the scene, a maximum amount of high frequency content within the scene, a lighting condition of the scene, or a battery level of an electronic device.
Abstract:
Various arrangements for handling a call by a mobile device and/or selecting a function for execution by the mobile device are presented. A phone call may be commenced by a mobile device. During the phone call, the mobile device may collect proximity data that indicates the mobile device is not proximate to an ear of a user. The microphone of the mobile device may be muted in response to the proximity data that indicates the mobile device is not proximate to the ear of the user.
Abstract:
A device includes an image capture device configured to capture a first video. The device includes a memory configured to store one or more videos. The device further includes a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to concatenate the first video and a second video to generate a combined video. The second video is included in the one or more videos or is accessible via a network. The second video is selected by the processor based on a similarity of a first set of characteristics with a second set of characteristics. The first set of characteristics corresponds to the first video. The second set of characteristics corresponds to the second video.
