    Abstract: Processing gesture input includes obtaining hand tracking data for a first hand based on one or more camera frames, detecting a first input gesture by the first hand based on the hand tracking data, and determining whether the first hand is in an active state. An input action associated with the first gesture is initiated in accordance with a determination that the first hand is in the active state. If, while the hand is in an active state, a determination is made that the inactive criterion is satisfied, then the first hand is transitioned to an inactive state.

    Abstract: Processing gesture input includes obtaining hand tracking data for a hand from one or more sensors, wherein the hand performs a pinch in the hand tracking data, determining a hand position and a hand orientation for the hand from the hand tracking data, applying a predefined offset from the hand position based on the hand orientation to determine a pinch centroid, and determining an input location based on the pinch centroid. The pinch centroid is used in an indirect motion mapping pipeline to determine characteristics of user input based on user motion.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity as user interactions with virtual elements (e.g., UI elements) positioned within in a 3D space such as an XR environment. Some implementations use an architecture that receives application UI geometry in a system or shared simulation area and outputs interaction events data (e.g., less than all user activity data) for an application to use to recognize input to the application. An OS process may be configured to provide an input support process to support recognizing input intended for one or more separately-executing applications, for example, by providing some input recognition tasks to recognize user activity as input for the applications or by converting user activity data into a format that can be more easily, accurately, efficiently, or effectively interpreted by the applications and/or in a way that facilitates preservation of user privacy.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that associate user activities with user interface (UI) elements within a 3D environment. Some implementations do so in ways that account for inaccuracies (i.e., fuzziness) in sensor-based detection of the user activities, e.g., inaccuracy in sensor data-based gaze tracking or sensor data-based hand/joint position. Some implementations use a sampling technique to associate user activity in a 3D environment with an appropriate portion of a UI positioned within a 3D environment. For example, a sampling technique may be used to identify sample locations within the 3D environment (e.g., sample locations around a gaze direction) to evaluate and ultimately select from to associate with a user activity, e.g., associating a particular UI button with a gaze direction.

    Abstract: An optically transparent force sensor element includes multi-layer electrodes of two materials having different gauge factors to increase sensitivity of measured force magnitude. A passivation layer is positioned between the electrode layers in each element. One gauge factor may be positive while the other gauge factor may be negative.
