Abstract: A finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a body that serves as a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors and for haptic output devices. The body may have sidewall portions coupled by a portion that rests adjacent to a user's fingernail. The body may be formed from deformable material such as metal or may be formed from adjustable structures such as sliding body portions that are coupled to each other using magnetic attraction, springs, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that leaves the finger pad of each finger exposed when the body is coupled to a fingertip of a user's finger. Control circuitry may gather finger press input, lateral finger movement input, and finger tap input using the sensors and may provide haptic output using the haptic output device.

Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to display devices. In some embodiments, a display device includes a display system configured to display three-dimensional content to a user. The display device is configured to discover, via a network interface, one or more compute nodes operable to facilitate rendering the three-dimensional content and receive information identifying abilities of the one or more compute nodes to facilitate the rendering. Based on the received information, the display device evaluates a set of tasks to identify one or more of the tasks to offload to the one or more compute nodes for facilitating the rendering and distributes, via the network interface, the identified one or more tasks to the one or more compute nodes for processing by the one or more compute nodes.

Abstract: An exemplary process for identifying a type of a physical environment amongst a plurality of types of physical environments is provided. The process includes obtaining, using the one or more cameras, image data corresponding to a physical environment. The process further includes identifying at least one portion of an entity in the physical environment based on the image data; determining, based on the identified at least one portion of the entity, whether the entity is an entity of a first type; determining a type of the physical environment if the entity is an entity of the first type; and presenting one or more virtual objects and a representation of the entity.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method for invoking a writing surface. The method includes: detecting a physical plane within an image stream of a physical environment, wherein the image stream is associated with a field-of-view (FOV) of the one or more exterior-facing image sensors; in response to detecting the physical plane within the image stream: obtaining pose values for the physical plane; and presenting, at a first location, an extended reality (XR) surface provided to display marks, wherein the first location is based on the pose values for the physical plane; and in response to movement of the physical plane, maintaining presentation of the XR surface at the first location.
