    Abstract: Eyewear having unsynchronized rolling shutter (RS) cameras such that images produced by each camera are unaligned, and a state that includes velocity and gravity orientation in the eyewear's reference system is calculated. The state is not limited to these two parameters as other parameters such as the acceleration bias, the gyroscope bias, or both may be included. Math solvers are used such that processing time to calculate the velocity and gravity orientation are acceptable. Arranging the RS cameras in an unsynchronized configuration allows estimating the motion of the eyewear from just one stereo image pair and removes the requirement of possessing more images.

    Abstract: A method for detecting changes in a scene includes accessing a first set of images and corresponding pose data in a first coordinate system associated with a first user session of an augmented reality (AR) device and accessing a second set of images and corresponding pose data in a second coordinate system associated with a second user session. The method identifies the first set of images corresponding to a second image from the second set of images based on the pose data of the first set of images being determined spatially closest to the pose data of the second image after aligning the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system. A trained neural network generates a synthesized image from the first set of images. Features of the second image are subtracted from features of the synthesized image. Area of changes are identified based on the subtracted features.

    Abstract: An eXtended Reality (XR) display system includes a Light Emitting Diode (LED) display controller, and a Light Emitting Diode (LED) near-eye display element operatively coupled to the LED display driver. The LED near-eye display element includes one or more motors and an LED array operably connected to the one or more motors. During operation, the LED display driver receives video data including a rendered virtual object of an XR experience and generates LED array control signals based on the video data, the LED array control signals causing one or more LEDs of the LED array to be energized in a sequence. The LED display driver also generates synchronized motor control signals and simultaneously communicates the LED array control signals to the LED array and the synchronized motor control signals to the one or more motors causing the LED near-eye display element to display the rendered virtual object.

    Abstract: A method for AR-guided depth estimation is described. The method includes identifying a virtual object rendered in a first frame that is generated based on a first pose of an augmented reality (AR) device, determining a second pose of the AR device, the second pose following the first pose, identifying an augmentation area in the second frame based on the virtual object rendered in the first frame, and the second pose, determining depth information for the augmentation area in the second frame, and rendering the virtual object in the second frame based on the depth information.

    Abstract: A method for carving a 3D space using hands tracking is described. In one aspect, a method includes accessing a first frame from a camera of a display device, tracking, using a hand tracking algorithm operating at the display device, hand pixels corresponding to one or more user hands depicted in the first frame, detecting, using a sensor of the display device, depths of the hand pixels, identifying a 3D region based on the depths of the hand pixels, and applying a 3D reconstruction engine to the 3D region.
