Abstract: an eye tracking system employing three-dimensional (3d) sensing using time of flight is provided. instead of directly measuring the time of arrival of the emitted photons, the light intensity of the transmitted laser beam is modulated, and a phase change of the return beam computed by comparison with the transmit waveform. the modulation frequency is resolved with radio frequency (rf) mixing and digital signal processing techniques. a variety of phase detection systems and techniques including, but not limited to, quadrature analog front end detection and analog homodyne phase detection are applied. the modulation frequency may, depending on phase detection technique, be sinusoidal or pulsed.

Abstract: aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality system orchestrating interactions between virtual object “augments.” the orchestration can include linking, which can be forming two or more augments into a combination, embedding an augment within an existing combination, or triggering an action mapped to the linking of those augments. another type of orchestration can include extracting, which can refer to taking an augment out of an existing combination, either by removing it from the combination or copying the augment to leave a version in the combination and having another version outside the combination.
