    摘要: The present application discloses systems and methods for a virtual input device. In one example, the virtual input device includes a projector and a camera. The projector projects a pattern onto a surface. The camera captures images that can be interpreted by a processor to determine actions. The projector may be mounted on an arm of a pair of eyeglasses and the camera may be mounted on an opposite arm of the eyeglasses. A pattern for a virtual input device can be projected onto a “display hand” of a user, and the camera may be able to detect when the user uses an opposite hand to select items of the virtual input device. In another example, the camera may detect when the display hand is moving and interpret display hand movements as inputs to the virtual input device, and/or realign the projection onto the moving display hand.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling a cursor on a display using a trackpad input device are disclosed. The systems and methods may be directed to controlling the cursor on a display separate from the trackpad input device, based on information identified about a motion of a trackpad input device or a computing device. A conversion factor may be determined to relate input to the trackpad input device with control of the cursor on the display in response to the input. The conversion factor can be adjusted when the motion information indicates that the trackpad input device or computing device is in motion. An input signal from an input to the trackpad input device may be smoothed by filtering out a mechanical vibration signal within the input signal. The input signal may also be smoothed by subtracting the absolute motion of the trackpad input device from the input signal.

    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: 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: Methods and systems for text input are provided. In one example, a head-mountable device (HMD) having a touch interface may be configured to receive touch inputs from a user to enter text. The touch interface may include input areas corresponding to characters. The HMD may be configured to determine characters and words the user wishes to enter according to different touch inputs, including land inputs, lift inputs, flick inputs, drag inputs, tap inputs, and scratch inputs. In one case, the HMD may determine subsets of characters for each letter in a word the user wishes to enter, and determine the word the user wishes to enter according to the subsets of characters. In another case, the HMD may determine a vector array corresponding to the word the user wishes to enter, and determine the word the user wishes to enter by comparing the vector array against word vector templates.

    摘要: A wearable computing system may include a head-mounted display (HMD) and an optical system with a display panel configured to generate images. The optical system may include an optical element that is adjustable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration. When the optical element is in the first configuration, the images generated by the display panel are viewable at an internal viewing location. When the optical element is in the second configuration, the images generated by the display panel are projected externally from the HMD. For example, the location, refractive index, reflectance, opacity, and/or polarization of the optical element could be adjusted.
