A head-worn device system includes one or more cameras, one or more display devices and one or more processors. The system also includes a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the system to generate a virtual object, generate a virtual object collider for the virtual object, determine a conic collider for the virtual object, provide the virtual object to a user, detect a landmark on the user's hand in the real-world, generate a landmark collider for the landmark, and determine a selection of the first virtual object by the user based on detecting a collision between the landmark collider with the conic collider and with the virtual object collider.

Exercised-based watch face and complications

Exercise-based watch faces and complications for use with a portable multifunction device are disclosed. The methods described herein for exercise-based watch faces and complications provide indications of time and affordances representing applications (e.g., a workout application or a weather application). In response to detecting a user input corresponding to a selection of the affordance (e.g., representing a workout application), a workout routine can optionally be begun. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein, as well as electronic devices related thereto.

Weakly supervised learning for improving multimodal sensing platform

A machine learning model is trained for user activity detection and context detection on a mobile device. The machine learning model is configured to learn a statistical relationship between an always-on sensing modality of the mobile device and actual user context. Rather than user annotations, the machine learning model is enhanced and personalized for the always-on sensing modality by automated annotations obtained from non-always-on sensing modalities. The non-always-on sensing modality opportunistically provides an imperfect label of user context, where the imperfect label has a known associated probability of error.

11579685 · 2023-02-14 ·

A portable device (e.g., a wireless device such as a cell phone) is provided with a flexible keyboard and a flexible display screen. Such flexible components may be stored in the housing of the portable device when not in use. The flexible display screen and flexible keyboard may be expanded from the housing when the flexible components are utilized by a user. Non-flexible display and input components may be provided on the exterior of the portable device such that the device may be used, in some form, while the flexible components are stored. In one embodiment, a portion of the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) may be utilized when the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) is stored in said first housing.

Mid-air volumetric visualization movement compensation

A wearable computing device generates a volumetric visualization at a first position that is located in a three-dimensional space. The wearable computing device includes a volumetric source configured to create the volumetric visualization. The wearable computing device includes one or more sensors configured to determine movement of the wearable computing device. A movement of the wearable computing device is identified by the wearable computing device. Based on the movement the wearable computing device adjusts the volumetric source.

Systems and methods for adaptive input thresholding

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include detecting, by a computing system, a gesture that appears to be intended to trigger a response by the computing system, identifying, by the computing system, a context in which the gesture was performed, and adjusting, based at least on the context in which the gesture was performed, a threshold for determining whether to trigger the response to the gesture in a manner that causes the computing system to perform an action that is based on the detected gesture.
