    Abstract: A computing device, such as a wearable device, may include at least two electrodes mounted on a body. The computing device may determine an electrical signal associated with a circuit that includes the at least two electrodes and the user. A pressure applied to at least one electrode of the at least two electrodes may be determined from the electrical signal, and at least one function of the computing device may be implemented, based on the pressure.

    Abstract: Techniques of identifying gestures include detecting and classifying inner-wrist muscle motions at a user's wrist using micron-resolution radar sensors. For example, a user of an AR system may wear a band around their wrist. When the user makes a gesture to manipulate a virtual object in the AR system as seen in a head-mounted display (HMD), muscles and ligaments in the user's wrist make small movements on the order of 1-3 mm. The band contains a small radar device that has a transmitter and a number of receivers (e.g., three) of electromagnetic (EM) radiation on a chip (e.g., a Soli chip. This radiation reflects off the wrist muscles and ligaments and is received by the receivers on the chip in the band. The received reflected signal, or signal samples, are then sent to processing circuitry for classification to identify the wrist movement as a gesture.

    Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques to generate refined location estimates using ultra-wideband (UWB) communication links. Mobile devices, such as smartphones, include location sensors to estimate their location. The accuracy of location sensors is generally about 3 meters (or about 10 feet). More accurate location data would allow mobile devices to provide new and improved functionality. The described systems and techniques determine the distance between nearby mobile devices using UWB communication links. A mobile device can then use the distance between the mobile devices to determine their relative locations. By comparing the relative locations of the mobile devices with their location estimates, the mobile device can generate a refined location estimate with greater accuracy.

    Abstract: A method including associating an ultra-wide band (UWB) tag device with a UWB anchor device, capturing UWB range and angle data representing a plurality of locations in a physical space using a calibration technique, capturing UWB range and angle data representing a first location of the UWB tag device in relation to the UWB anchor device, capturing UWB range and angle data representing a second location of the UWB tag device in relation to the UWB anchor device, and determining a length based on the first location and the second location.

    Abstract: Computing systems and methods are provided for detecting skin conditions of humans. A computing device can authenticate a user via a fingerprint scan of a first skin region of the user using a three-dimensional (3D) sonic sensor. The device can generate a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric sonic measurement of a second skin region of the user based at least in part on one or more sonic pulses of the three-dimensional sonic sensor. The device can input data indicative of the 3D volumetric sonic measurement into one or more machine-learning models, generate one or more skin cancer condition identifications associated with the second skin region of the user based on one or more outputs of the one or more machine-learned models, and provide one or more outputs including the one or more skin cancer condition identifications associated with the second skin region of the user.

    Abstract: A method generates depth maps at a camera having illuminators, a lens assembly, an image sensing element, a processor, and memory. The illuminators operate in a first mode to provide illumination, the lens assembly focuses incident light on the image sensing element, the memory stores image data from the image sensing element, and the processor executes programs to control operation of the camera. The method reconfigures the illuminators to operate in a second mode, where each of a plurality of subsets of the illuminators provides illumination of a scene separately. For each subset, the process activates the illuminators in the subset without activating illuminators not in the subset and receives reflected illumination from the scene incident on the lens assembly and focused onto the image sensing element. The measured light intensity of the received reflected illumination at the image sensing element is stored in association with activation of the subset.
