    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) device may include a housing coupled to a frame, and a display disposed in the housing. A first lens and a first active shutter may be disposed along a first optical axis in the housing, and a second lens and a second active shutter may be disposed along a second optical axis in the housing. A controller may alternately switch the display, the first active shutter and the second active shutter between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode the first active shutter may be activated and the second active shutter may be deactivated. In the second mode the first active shutter may be deactivated and the second active shutter may be activated.

    Abstract: In some implementations, faces based on image data from a camera of a mobile device are detected and one or more of the detected faces are determined to correspond to one or more people in a set of people that are classified as being important to a user. In response to determining that one or more of the detected faces correspond to one or more people in the set of people that are classified as being important to the user, quality scores are determined for the one or more detected faces that are determined to correspond to one or more people that are classified as important to the user. Multiple images with the camera are captured based on the quality scores such that, for each face determined to correspond to a person that is classified as important to the user, at least one of the multiple images includes an image of the face having at least a minimum quality score. A composite image is generated that combines the multiple images.

    Abstract: In a system for pairing a first device and a second device in a virtual reality environment, the first device may be a sending device, and the second device may be a receiving device. The sending device may transmit an electromagnetic signal that is received by the receiving device. The receiving device may process the electromagnetic signal to verify physical proximity of the receiving device and the transmitting device, and extract identification information related to the sending device for pairing. The receiving device may display one or more virtual pairing indicators to be manipulated to verify the user's intention to pair the first and second devices.

    Abstract: A system for tracking an object in an ambient environment with respect to a head mounted reference frame may allow the ambient object to be rendered in a virtual display, at a virtual position corresponding to its position in the ambient environment, in response to head movement. The system may detect a position of a head mounted device with respect to a fixed frame of reference in the ambient environment, and may detect an position of the ambient object with respect to the fixed frame of reference in the ambient environment. The system may then translate the detected position of the ambient object to the frame of reference of the head mounted device, or to the head mounted reference frame, to determine a position of the ambient object relative to the head mounted device. This newly determined position may be rendered in the virtual display generated by the head mounted device.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic (EM) position tracking system identifies the pose of objects based on detected strength values of an EM field. To address distortions in the field, the system employs a pose sensor to provide a second pose of the mobile unit. Under conditions where no distortion in the EM field has been detected, the HMD applies a nominal set of corresponding weights to the EM pose data and the IMU pose data, respectively, and combines the weighted pose value to identify a combined pose of the mobile unit. In response to detecting conditions that indicate distortion in the EM field, the HMD can apply different weights to the EM pose data and IMU pose data to, for example increase the influence of the IMU pose data on the combined pose.

    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include receiving, by a first computing device from a virtual reality (VR) headset, data indicative of a position of a second computing device, rendering, by the first computing device, an aspect of the second computing device for inclusion in a VR space based on the position of the second computing device, and integrating the rendered aspect of the second computing device with content for display as integrated content in the VR space. The method can further include providing the integrated content to the VR headset for display on a screen included in the VR headset, receiving data indicative of an interaction of a user with the second computing device, and based on the received data indicative of the interaction of the user with the second computing device, altering the content for display as integrated content in the VR space.
