    摘要: Systems and methods for estimating audio at a requested location are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving from a client device a request for audio at a requested location. The method further includes determining a location of a plurality of audio sensors, where the plurality of audio sensors are coupled to head-mounted devices in which a location of each of the plurality of audio sensors varies. The method further includes, based on the requested location and the location of the plurality of audio sensors, determining an ad hoc array of audio sensors, receiving audio sensed from audio sensors in the ad hoc array, and processing the audio sensed from audio sensors in the ad hoc array to produce an output substantially estimating audio at the requested location.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes example systems and methods for determining a rotation of a display orientation of media displayed on a display device by a wearable computing device. The systems and methods may be directed to identifying an orientation of a display device based on information corresponding to a field of view of a camera of the wearable computing device and identifying a reference orientation. The rotation of the display orientation of the media may be based on a comparison of the orientation of the display device with the reference orientation. The rotation may align an axis of the display orientation with an axis of the reference orientation.

    摘要: Systems and methods for removing electrical noise from an input signal from a touchpad device are provided. The touchpad device and one or more sensors may be coupled to a frame. Mechanical vibrations resulting from contact with a surface of the touchpad device during a motion input to the touchpad device may propagate via the frame to the one or more sensors. Information from the input signal and mechanical vibration signals received by one or more sensors may be processed to remove the electric noise from the input signal. In one example, information associated with relative motion of the input may be determined based on varying intensities of mechanical vibration signals received from the one or more sensors. Information of the input signal and the information associated with the relative motion may be correlated to determine position and/or movement information associated with the motion input.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and devices for rendering interactions between virtual and physical objects on a substantially transparent display are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes displaying a user-interface on a substantially transparent display of a wearable computing device. The method further includes displaying a virtual object in the view region at a focal length along a first line of sight and detecting a physical object at a physical distance along a second line of sight. The method still further includes determining that a relationship between the focal length and the physical distance is such that the virtual object and the physical object appear substantially co-located in a user-view through the view region and, responsive to the determination, initiating a collision action between the virtual object and the physical object.

    摘要: An optical system has an aperture through which virtual and real-world images are viewable along a viewing axis. The optical system may be incorporated into a head-mounted display (HMD). By modulating the length of the optical path along an optical axis within the optical system, the virtual image may appear to be at different distances away from the HMD wearer. The wearable computer of the HMD may be used to control the length of the optical path. The length of the optical path may be modulated using, for example, a piezoelectric actuator or stepper motor. By determining the distance to an object with respect to the HMD using a range-finder or autofocus camera, the virtual images may be controlled to appear at various distances and locations in relation to the target object and/or HMD wearer.

    摘要: Exemplary methods and systems relate to detecting physical objects near a substantially transparent head-mounted display (HMD) system and activating a collision-avoidance action to alert a user of the detected objects. Detection techniques may include receiving data from distance and/or relative movement sensors and using this data as a basis for determining an appropriate collision-avoidance action. Exemplary collision-avoidance actions may include de-emphasizing virtual objects displayed on the HMD to provide a less cluttered view of the physical objects through the substantially transparent display and/or presenting new virtual objects.
