Abstract: This relates generally to intelligent automated assistants and, more specifically, to provide intelligent visualization of snippet information. An example method includes receiving a user request and in response to receiving the user request, determining a response for the user request, determining a format for a visual representation of the response, identifying one or more virtual objects based on the format for the visual representation of the response, determining a size for each of the one or more virtual objects based on context information associated with the response, and displaying the one or more virtual objects within a background environment based on the size for each of the one or more virtual objects and geometry of the background environment.

Abstract: A depth mapping apparatus includes a stereoscopic depth mapping module, including a first and second cameras configured to capture pairs of respective first and second images of a scene, and a range-sensing module, configured to measure respective ranges from the apparatus to multiple points in the scene. A controller processes a first pair of the first and second images of the scene to compute a first depth map of the scene and associates at least some of the points at which the range-sensing module measured respective ranges with corresponding pixels in the first depth map. The controller computes a correction function for the stereoscopic depth mapping module by comparing the respective ranges measured by the range-sensing module to respective depth coordinates of the corresponding pixels in the first depth map and applies the correction function in computing subsequent depth maps based on subsequent pairs of the first and second images.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device changes the immersion level of a virtual environment and/or spatial effect in a three-dimensional environment based on the geometry of the physical environment around the device. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies the virtual environment and/or spatial effect in response to detecting a movement of the device. In some embodiments, an electronic device moves a user interface of an application into and/or out of a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an electronic device selectively changes the display of a simulated environment and/or atmospheric effect in a three-dimensional environment based on movement of an object associated with a viewpoint of a user. In some embodiments, an electronic device provides feedback to a user in response to a user moving a virtual object to and/or into a simulated environment.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a hinge that allows the device to be flexed about a bend axis. A display may span the bend axis. The device may have a stainless steel and/or carbon fiber reinforced polymer layer with slots. The slots may overlap the bend axis. The slots may have at least one property that varies in a non-linear manner as a function of position on the layer. The device may include an adhesive layer with a cutout that overlaps the slots. An interface that defines the cutout may have a plurality of recesses with varying depths. A flexible printed circuit may be attached to an edge of the display panel. The display cover layer may overlap a bonding region between the flexible printed circuit and the edge of the display panel. A UV-curable gap filler may be interposed between the flexible printed circuit and the display cover layer.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display system and an optical system that are supported by a housing. The optical system may be a catadioptric optical system having one or more lens elements. The optical system may include a wave plate stack with one or more wave plates. The display system may also include a wave plate stack with one or more wave plates. Each wave plate stack may include a positive dispersion quarter wave plate and a positive dispersion half wave plate. Each wave plate stack may include a negative dispersion quarter wave plate and a negative dispersion half wave plate. Each wave plate stack may include a biaxial quarter wave plate and a biaxial half wave plate.

Abstract: An electronic device may have optical components that each have first and second transparent layers such as first and second glass layers. The glass layers may have outer surfaces that face away from each other and inner surfaces that face towards each other. A polymer layer is formed between the inner surfaces of the glass layers. Along the periphery of each optical component, a hermetic seal is formed to protect the polymer material of the polymer layer. The seal may include one or more electroplated metal layers that are coupled to the first and second glass layers. For example, glass prism rings may be coupled to the first and second glass layers and metal may be coupled to the prism rings. The one or more metal layers may then be bonded to the metal on the prism rings, such as through soldering.

Abstract: A display system may include a waveguide and at least one surface relief grating (SRG) structure. The SRG structure may include a plurality of ridges separated by a plurality of troughs. The SRG structure may include an anti-reflective layer to mitigate specular reflections off of the ridges. The anti-reflective layer may be formed above the ridges such that the ridges are interposed between the waveguide and the anti-reflective layer. In this type of arrangement, the anti-reflective layer may fill the troughs between the ridges or may be patterned to overlap the ridges without filing the troughs. The anti-reflective layer may be formed below the ridges such that the anti-reflective layer is interposed between the ridges and the waveguide. The SRG structure may include multiple anti-reflective layers. When multiple anti-reflective layers are included, the anti-reflective layers may have at least one differing property (e.g., material, number of layers, dimension).

Abstract: Methods performed by a first sink device, a source device, or a second sink device. The first sink device is connected to a source device via a first communication link and a second sink device via a second communication link, wherein the second sink device is configured to eavesdrop on communications between the first sink device and the source device on the first communication link. The methods include determining an occurrence of a trigger event and modifying an operation of at least one of the first sink device, the second sink device or the source device based at least on the trigger event occurring.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include a phased antenna array. Sensors and other circuitry in the electronic device may generate sensor data such as accelerometer data, gyroscope data, magnetometer data, location data, and spatial ranging data. The wireless circuitry may establish and maintain one or more wireless links with external devices based on the sensor data as the device moves over time. For example, the wireless circuitry may perform physical layer beam adjustments, inter-radio access technology handovers, intra-radio access technology handovers, and/or dual connectivity adjustments based on the sensor data. This may allow the device to maintain one or more wireless links without having to sweep the signal beam of the phased antenna array over its entire field of view each time the device has moved.
