VOICE INPUT FOR AR WEARABLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045217 titled 'VOICE INPUT FOR AR WEARABLE DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for systems, methods, and computer-readable media for voice input in augmented reality (AR) wearable devices. The disclosed embodiments allow users to interact with the AR wearable device without physical user interface devices. A keyword is used to indicate that the user is about to speak an action or command. The audio data is processed by dividing it into a keyword module and a module to process the data after the keyword. In some embodiments, the AR wearable device transmits the audio data after the keyword to a host device for processing. The device also maintains an application registry that associates actions with applications, allowing for the downloading of applications and updating of the registry.
- Users can interact with AR wearable devices using voice commands without physical user interface devices.
- A keyword is used to indicate the start of a voice command or action.
- The audio data is processed by dividing it into a keyword module and a module for processing data after the keyword.
- In some cases, the audio data after the keyword is sent to a host device for processing.
- An application registry is maintained to associate actions with applications.
- Applications can be downloaded and the registry can be updated to associate actions with specific applications.
Potential Applications
- Hands-free control of AR wearable devices.
- Voice commands for navigation, information retrieval, and other AR applications.
- Voice-controlled gaming or entertainment experiences in AR.
Problems Solved
- Eliminates the need for physical user interface devices, providing a more seamless and intuitive interaction with AR wearable devices.
- Enables hands-free operation, allowing users to perform actions and commands without using their hands.
- Simplifies the user experience by using voice commands instead of complex gestures or button presses.
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience with AR wearable devices.
- Increased accessibility for users with limited mobility or dexterity.
- Improved efficiency and convenience by enabling hands-free operation.
- Potential for new and innovative AR applications and experiences.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems, methods, and computer readable media for voice input for augmented reality (ar) wearable devices are disclosed. embodiments are disclosed that enable a user to interact with the ar wearable device without using physical user interface devices. a keyword is used to indicate that the user is about to speak an action or command. the ar wearable device divides the processing of the audio data into a keyword module that is trained to recognize the keyword and a module to process the audio data after the keyword. in some embodiments, the ar wearable device transmits the audio data after the keyword to a host device to process. the ar wearable device maintains an application registry that associates actions with applications. applications can be downloaded, and the application registry updated where the applications indicate actions to associate with the application.
