The technology disclosed relates to identifying an object in a field of view of a camera. In particular, it relates to identifying a display in the field of view of the camera. This is achieved by monitoring a space including acquiring a series of image frames of the space using the camera and detecting one or more light sources in the series of image frames. Further, one or more frequencies of periodic intensity or brightness variations, also referred to as ‘refresh rate’, of light emitted from the light sources is measured. Based on the one or more frequencies of periodic intensity variations of light emitted from the light sources, at least one display that includes the light sources is identified.

The disclosed embodiments include wearable devices and methods for performing courier services. In one implementation, the device includes a depth camera for detecting object depths in a field of view, a scanner for decoding visual codes, a speaker for producing audible sounds in response to an electrical signal, memory, and a processor. The processor may execute instructions to detect a scanning event based on a first signal received from the depth camera, determine a scan region associated with the scanning event, provide a second signal to the scanner causing the scanner to decode a visual code located within the scan region, generate scan data based on a third signal received from the scanner, and provide a fourth signal to the speaker causing the speaker to emit a notification sound. The wearable device may also capture signatures, dimension objects, and disable device functions based on time and place restrictions.

Systems and methods for providing a virtual keyboard are shown and described. User gestures are captured by a camera and are mapped to spatial coordinates that correspond to the keys of a virtual keyboard. The user defines the coordinate system based on his or her range of motion and also defines the spatial dimensions of the virtual keyboard. The spatial dimensions are then scaled to provide a display image of the virtual keyboard on a TV display. Facial recognition techniques and corresponding data regarding the viewer's anatomy and previously captured reference gestures are used to interpret the viewer's gestures and determine which keystrokes are intended. A character prediction technique using the trajectory of the cursor (i.e., trajectory of entered keystrokes) is combined with language/semantic-based character prediction models to identify a next predicted character that is indicated as the user's selected character, thereby disambiguating the key selection indicated the positioning of his or her fingers relative to the virtual keyboard keys.

A system including: user device(s) providing user with user interface; input device; and sensor(s). Processor of user device(s) is configured to: identify surface of object and determine pose of user's hand and input device; determine first distance and second distance; determine whether input device is in contact with: user's hand, surface of object, or both user's hand and surface. When input device is in contact with surface or both user's hand and surface, processor is configured to control input device to operate in first mode. When input device is in contact with user's hand, processor is configured to control input device to operate in second mode. System enables user to interact with user interface by operating input device as computer mouse during first mode and as six-degrees-of-freedom controller during second mode.

The main processor receives detected image data corresponding to the plurality of tilt sensing patterns from a position input device, and determines arrangement direction information and tilt information of the position input device by comparing the detected image data with each other.

A fabric-based item may include a housing that is covered in fabric. Areas of the fabric may overlap input circuitry such as button switches, touch sensors, force sensors, proximity sensors, and other sensing circuitry and may overlap other components such as light-emitting components and haptic output devices.
