CPC Code(s): G02B3/14
Abstract: a liquid lens includes a substrate, a transparent elastic membrane forming a cavity with the substrate, and a transparent fluid filling the cavity between the substrate and the membrane. the membrane has a pre-distorted, rotationally asymmetric shape in absence of the fluid in the cavity. when the cavity is filled with the fluid and the substrate is disposed vertically w.r.t. gravity at a pre-defined clocking angle, the membrane adopts a substantially rotationally symmetric shape due to elasticity of the membrane counteracting gravity exerting a downward force on the fluid in the cavity, reducing the effect of the gravity sag on optical performance of the liquid lens.

IPC Code(s): G06F3/01, G02B27/01, G06T19/00
CPC Code(s): G06F3/011
Abstract: in one embodiment, a method includes capturing, by a first vr display device, one or more frames of a shared real-world environment. the vr display device identifies one or more anchor points within the shared real-world environment from the one or more frames. the first vr display device receives localization information with respect to a second vr display device in the shared real-world environment and determines a pose of the first vr display device with respect to the second vr display device based on the localization information. a first output image is rendered for one or more displays of the first vr display device. the rendered image may comprise a proximity warning with respect to the second vr display device based on determining the pose of the first vr display device with respect to the second vr display device is within a threshold distance.

CPC Code(s): G06F3/013
Abstract: a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium including executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, allow a user to interact with physical devices via an artificial-reality (ar) device is described. in response to a command received from the user of a head-wearable device, the instructions cause the one or more processors to (i) obtain an image of a physical environment surrounding the user wearing the head-wearable device, (ii) determine a region of interest, including one or more available physical devices, in the image based at least on a gaze of an eye of the user, (iii) determine, by a machine-learning model, an intent of the user to interact with a particular physical device of the one or more available physical devices, and (iv), based on the intent of the user to interact with a particular physical device, send a representation of the command to the particular physical device.

CPC Code(s): G10L25/78
Abstract: an audio system for spatializing virtual sound sources is described. a microphone array of the audio system is configured to monitor sound in a local area. a controller of the audio system identifies sound sources within the local area using the monitored sound from the microphone array and determines their locations. the controller of the audio system generates a target position for a virtual sound source based on one or more constraints. the one or more constraints include that the target position be at least a threshold distance away from each of the determined locations of the identified sound sources. the controller generates one or more sound filters based in part on the target position to spatialize the virtual sound source. a transducer array of the audio system presents spatialized audio including the virtual sound source content based in part on the one or more sound filters.
