    Abstract: A stylus having an applied force-sensitive tip-switch is disclosed. The stylus includes a tip-switch responsive to a variable applied force. Control circuitry determines whether the tip-switch has made contact with an object and, if so, the magnitude of the applied force resulting from the contact. The circuitry then encodes a signal that varies with the magnitude of the applied force and transmits the encoded signal to a computing device, enabling the computing device to indicate the two- or three-dimensional path of the tip-switch in the stylus on a computer screen. The circuitry also monitors a manual override switch that activates an encoded override signal for interpretation and use by the computing device while indicating the path of the tip switch on a computer screen.

    Abstract: A method and corresponding system for reconstructing the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object is disclosed. The system comprises a cluster of heterogeneous sensors, including a two-dimensional high-resolution camera and a three-dimensional depth camera, and a turntable operable to rotate incrementally. In operation, the turntable is rotated to first and second positions and two-dimensional and three-dimensional data sets are obtained using the two-dimensional high-resolution camera and the three-dimensional depth camera. Corresponding features from the two-dimensional data sets are identified and used to identify the same corresponding features in the three-dimensional data sets. The three-dimensional corresponding features are used to calculate a three-dimensional homography, which is used to align the three-dimensional data sets. Following alignment, a three-dimensional mesh is generated from the aligned data sets.

    Abstract: Examples relate to improving unintended touch rejection. In this manner, the examples disclosed herein enable recognizing a touch on a touch-sensitive surface, capturing a set of data related to the touch, wherein the set of data comprises a set of spatial features relating to a shape of the touch over a set of time intervals, and determining whether the recognized touch was intended based on a comparison of a first shape of the touch at a first time interval of the set of time intervals and a second shape of the touch at a second time interval of the set of time intervals.

    Abstract: A digital light projector having a plurality of color channels including at least one visible color channel providing visible light and at least one invisible color channel providing invisible light. The digital light projector including a projecting device projecting light from the plurality of color channels onto an environment in the form of an array of pixels which together form a video image including a visible image and an invisible image, the video image comprising a series of frames with each frame formed by the array of pixels, wherein to form each pixel of each frame the projecting device sequentially projects a series of light pulses from light provided by each of the plurality of color channels, with light pulses from the at least one visible color channel forming the visible image and light pulses from the at least one invisible color channel forming the invisible image.
