摘要： Example methods and systems for determining correlated movements associated with movements caused by driving a vehicle are provided. In an example, a computer-implemented method includes identifying a threshold number of sets of correlated movements. The method further includes determining that the threshold number of sets of correlated movements is associated with movements caused by driving a vehicle. The method still further includes causing the wearable computing system to select a driving user interface for the wearable computing system.

摘要： A wearable computing system may include a head-mounted display (HMD) with a display configured to display images viewable at a viewing location. When aligned with an HMD wearer's line of sight, the entire display area of the display may be within the HMD wearer's field of view. The area within which an HMD wearer's eye can move and still view the entire display area is termed an “eye box.” However, if the HMD slips up or down, the display area may become obscured, such that the wearer can no longer see the entire image. By scaling or subsetting an image area within the display area, the effective eye box dimensions may increase. Further, in response to movements of the HMD with respect to the wearer, the image area can be adjusted to reduce effects such as vibration and slippage.

摘要： Examples methods and systems for distinguishing winks from other eye motions are described. In some examples, a method for distinguishing winks from other eye motions may account for changes in orientation of a computing device relative to a user, calibrate eye gesture recognition, or increase efficiency of the computing device. A computing device may be configured to receive sensor data corresponding to an eye and determine a distribution of magnitude changes in the sensor data over an interval of time. The computing device may identify clusters that correspond to ranges of magnitude changes within the distribution and use the clusters as reference data to identify ranges of sensor data for different types of eye motions, including differentiating winks from clusters indicative of ranges of normal eye activity and blinks.

摘要： Described techniques enable a computing system to receive character string input (e.g., words, numbers, mathematical expressions, symbolic strings, etc.) by detecting and interpreting an input movement across a user-interface. A touch-based computing system may, for instance, detect an input movement by tracking the path of a pointing element (e.g., a stylus or finger) as it is dragged across a contact-sensitive input surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive screen or external touch pad). Then, the system may interpret the detected input movement using Hidden Markov Modeling.

摘要： Systems and methods for selecting an action associated with a power state transition of a head-mounted display (HMD) in the form of eyeglasses are disclosed. A signal may be received from a sensor on a nose bridge of the eyeglasses indicating if the HMD is in use. Based on the received signal, a first powers state for the HMD may be determined. Responsive to the determined first power state, an action associated with a power state transition of the HMD from an existing power state to the first power state may be selected. The action may be selected from among a plurality of actions associated with a plurality of state transitions. Also, the action may be a sequence of functions performed by the HMD including modifying an operating state of a primary processing component of the HMD and a detector of the HMD configured to image an environment.

摘要： A computing device configured to dynamically capture and store experience data received the by the computing device. An example method involves: (a) receiving first experience data that indicates at least one environmental condition; (b) selecting a capture mode from a plurality of capture modes based on the at least one environmental condition, where the capture mode defines a manner of capturing experience data; and (c) causing the computing device to operate in the selected capture mode, where operating in the selected capture mode includes capturing second experience data in the manner defined by the capture mode. The method may optionally additionally involve: (d) after entering the capture mode, receiving third experience data; (e) determining that the capture mode should be exited based on at least the received third experience data; and (f) based on the determination that the capture mode should be exited, exiting the capture mode such that at least one type of experience data is not captured.
