A method is presented for forming a nanowire electrode. The method includes forming a plurality of nanowires over a first substrate, depositing a conducting layer over the plurality of nanowires, forming solder bumps and electrical interconnections over a second flexible substrate, and integrating nanowire electrode arrays to the second flexible substrate. The plurality of nanowires are silicon (Si) nanowires, the Si nanowires used as probes to penetrate skin of a subject to achieve electrical biopotential signals. The plurality of nanowires are formed over the first substrate by metal-assisted chemical etching.

This application relates to the field of wearable devices and provides a dominant eye determining method and device. A method comprises: obtaining first sensory information of a first eye of a user; and determining whether the first eye is a dominant eye according to the first sensory information and reference information. The method and device help other devices worn by a user to perform automatic set-up according to a determining result, thereby improving user experience.

Electronic devices are provided that can determine a head movement. A method comprises: acquiring, in response to a head movement performed by a user, myoelectricity information of an eye of the user; and determining information related to the head movement according to the myoelectricity information and at least one piece of reference information.

Driving while feeling drowsy can cause fatal accidents. Current drowsiness detection devices are slow and inefficient. Mental drowsiness detection can predict a fatigue state early enough to engage the autopilot mechanism. Disclosed is a wearable EEG BCI adaptive VLSI architecture that can detect sleep faster.

A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.
