20250237492. SELF-MIXING INTERFERENCE BASED SENSORS FOR CHARACTERIZING TOUCH INPUT

Abstract: Disclosed herein are electronic devices having touch input surfaces. A user's touch input or press on the touch input surface is detected using a set of lasers, such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) that emit beams of light toward the touch input surface. The user's touch causes c...

20250237524. LABELING A SIGNIFICANT LOCATION BASED ON CONTEXTUAL DATA

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer-readable storage media storing instructions and computer systems for labeling significant locations based on contextual data can be implemented to perform operations that include determining a location of a computing device, and determining a label for the dete...

20250237876. Flexible Mounting Structures

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a display system that displays images. The images may be supplied to eye boxes for viewing by a user with waveguides that have output couplers. The waveguides may be supported by a head-mounted support structure. The frame may have eyeglass lens openings that each rece...

20250238110. SHAPE-BASED GRAPHICAL INDICATIONS OF INTERACTION EVENTS

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity as user interactions with virtual elements (e.g., user interface elements) positioned within a three-dimensional (3D) space, such as an extended reality (XR) environment. For example, an example process may include presenting a view of a 3D ...

20250238113. User Interface for Generating a Three-Dimensional Environment

Abstract: A method includes receiving, via a graphical user interface (GUI), a first user input that corresponds to a request to generate a three-dimensional (3D) environment. The method includes after receiving the first user input, displaying, within the GUI, suggested inputs that further characterize the f...
