Electronic Device With Optical Sensor for Color Detection - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240329733 titled 'Electronic Device With Optical Sensor for Color Detection
The abstract describes a head-mounted device with a gaze tracking system and an optical sensor to determine the user's gaze direction and the color of external objects.
- The device includes a camera, ambient light sensor, or other optical sensor for gaze tracking.
- An optical sensor, such as a camera or directional color ambient light sensor, determines the color of external objects in the user's gaze direction.
- The color of the external object can be determined based on user input like a button press, voice command, or blink.
- The determined color can be used as an input color in a virtual space or on another device.

Original Abstract Submitted
a head-mounted device may have a gaze tracking system and an optical sensor. the gaze tracking system may include a camera, ambient light sensor, or other optical sensor to determine an angle/direction of a user's gaze. the optical sensor may be a camera, directional color ambient light sensor, or other optical sensor. after determining the user's gaze, the optical sensor may be used to determine the color of an external object in the direction of the determined angle/direction. for example, the color of the external object may be determined in response to an input from the user, such as a button press, a voice command, or a blink. the determined color may be used as an input color in a virtual space or on another device.
