    Abstract: Devices, media, and methods are presented for an immersive augmented reality (AR) experience using an eyewear device with spatial audio. The eyewear device has a processor, a memory, an image sensor, and a speaker system. The eyewear device captures image information for an environment surrounding the device and identifies an object location within the same environment. The eyewear device then associates a virtual object with the identified object location. The eyewear device monitors the position of the device with respect to the virtual object and presents audio signals to alert the user that the identified object is in the environment.

    Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for controlling virtual elements or graphical elements on a display in response to hand gestures detected by an eyewear device that is capturing frames of video data with its camera system. An image processing system detects a series of hand shapes in the video data and determines whether it matches a predefined series of hand gestures. Each predefined series of hand gestures is associated with an action. The system controls movement of the virtual element, relative to the display, in accordance with the associated action. In an example hand shape that includes a thumb sliding along an extended finger, the system establishes a finger scale along the extended finger, calibrates a graphical scale with the finger scale, and controls movement of an interactive graphical element, such as a slider, according to the current thumb position relative to the calibrated graphical scale.

    Abstract: Eyewear presenting text corresponding to spoken words (e.g., in speech bubbles) and optionally translating from one language to another. In one example, an interactive augmented reality experience is provided between two users of eyewear devices to allow one user of an eyewear device to share a personal attribute of the user with a second user. The personal attribute can be speech spoken by a remote second user of eyewear converted to text. The converted text can be displayed on a display of eyewear of the first user proximate the viewed second user. The personal attribute may be displayed in a speech bubble proximate the second user, such as proximate the head or mouth of the second user. The language of the spoken speech can be recognized by the second user eyewear, and translated to a language that is understood by the first user. In another example, the spoken words of a remote person is captured by the eyewear of a user, the position of the remote person is identified, the spoken word are converted to text, and the text is displayed (e.g., in a speech bubble) on an AR display of the eyewear adjacent the remote person.
