    Abstract: According to an aspect, an adaptor may include a converting unit configured to convert a source voltage to an output voltage to be provided to a computing device via a cable. The converting unit includes a transformer having primary windings and secondary windings. The adaptor includes a current sense unit configured to obtain a current sense signal, where the current sense signal indicates an output current produced by the secondary windings of the transformer. The adaptor includes an IR drop detection unit configured to determine a feedback signal representing a voltage drop caused by the cable based on the current sense signal and the output voltage of the converting unit, and a control unit configured to adjust the output voltage of the converting unit to account for the voltage drop represented by the feedback signal.

    Abstract: Example virtual-reality head-mounted devices having reduced numbers of cameras, and methods of operating the same are disclosed herein. A disclosed example method includes providing a virtual-reality (VR) head-mounted display (V-HMD) having an imaging sensor, the imaging sensor including color-sensing pixels, and infrared (IR) sensing pixels amongst the color-sensing pixels; capturing, using the imaging sensor, an image having a color portion and an IR portion; forming an IR image from at least some of the IR portion from the image; performing a first tracking based on the IR image; forming a color image by replacing the at least some of the removed IR portion with color data determined from the color portion of the image and the location of the removed IR-sensing pixels in the image; and performing a second tracking based on the color image.

    Abstract: An integrated stacked and/or abutted sensor, memory and processing hardware camera solution is described. The sensor is to receive light from an image and generate electronic pixels from the light. The processing hardware is to process the electronic pixels to: a) recognize a scene from the image in a lower quality image mode; b) trigger actions by the camera solution in response to the recognition of the scene, the actions including: i) transitioning the camera solution from the lower quality image mode to a higher quality image mode to capture a higher quality version of the image; and, ii) forwarding from the camera solution important imagery and not forwarding from the camera solution unimportant imagery.
