    Abstract: A system to perform stereo stitching of image frames comprises a stereo camera system and a hardware encoder. The hardware encoder receives a left image stream and a right image stream from the stereo camera system simultaneously and processes the left and right image stream to generate a single stitched encoded frame. The apparatus can also comprise a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising receiving the left image stream and the right image stream, processing the left and right image streams and generating a single stitched encoded frame.

    Abstract: A head-wearable apparatus includes a frame having a front piece configured to hold left and right lenses. A left temple is coupled to the front piece and a right temple coupled to the front piece. A camera system includes one or more cameras coupled to the front piece, one or more left peripheral cameras coupled to an outside surface of the frame, and one or more right peripheral cameras coupled to an outside surface of the frame. A left peripheral display is coupled to an inside surface of the frame. The left peripheral display is configured to receive and display input from the one or more left peripheral cameras. A right peripheral display is coupled to an inside surface of the frame. The right peripheral display is configured to receive and display input from the one or more right peripheral cameras.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe an actuator control system for controlling intelligent actuated temple tips of a pair of eyeglasses. The actuator control system receives a set of measurements corresponding to a length of eyeglass temple tips on a pair of eyeglasses, receives, from a user of the pair of eyeglasses, user feedback corresponding to a position of the eyeglass temple tips, generating a predicted set of measurements for the length of the eyeglass temple tips using a machine learning model, and transmits the predicted set of measurements to pneumatic actuators coupled to the eyeglass temple tips.

    Abstract: Systems and method describe an actuator control system for controlling an intelligent actuated nose bridge on a pair of wearable glasses. The actuator control system receives a set of measurement data corresponding to a length of the nose bridge, generates a predicted set of measurement data for the length of the nose bridge, transmits the predicted set of measurement data to pneumatic actuators coupled to the nose bridge, captures a first set of images of the nose bridge, generates an augmented set of measurement data for the nose bridge, generates an adjusted set of measurement data based on the predicted set of measurement data and the augmented set of measurement data, and transmits the adjusted set of measurement data to the pneumatic actuators coupled to the nose bridge.

    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) eyewear device has a lens system which includes an optical screening mechanism that enables switching the lens system between a conventional see-through state and an opaque state in which the lens system screens or functionally blocks out the wearer's view of the external environment. Such a screening mechanism allows for expanded use cases of the AR glasses compared to conventional devices, e.g.: as a sleep mask; to view displayed content like movies or sports events against a visually non-distracting background instead of against the external environment; and/or to enable VR functionality.

    Abstract: A method performed on an augmented reality (AR) wearable device includes providing an over-the-air (OTA) update to all processors of a three-processor system, each processor of the three processor system having a respective current plurality of partitions and a respective last plurality of partitions. A communication error is detected between two or more processors of the three processor system after the OTA update. Respective active partitions are set for at least one of three processors to the last respective partition. The three processors are rebooted.
