Abstract: A finger device may be worn on a user's finger and may serve as a controller for a head-mounted device or other electronic device. The finger device may have a housing having an upper housing portion that extends across a top of the finger and first and second side housing portions that extend down respective first and second sides of the finger. Displacement sensors in the side housing portions may measure movements of the sides of the finger as the finger contacts an external surface. To account for variations in skin compliance, the finger device and/or the electronic device may store calibration data that maps displacement values gathered by the displacement sensors to force values. The calibration data may be based on calibration measurements gathered while the user's finger wearing the finger device contacts a force sensor in an external electronic device.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, an extremity tracking system, and a communication interface provided to communicate with a finger-wearable device. The method includes displaying a computer-generated object on the display. The method includes obtaining finger manipulation data from the finger-wearable device via the communication interface. The method includes determining a multi-finger gesture based on extremity tracking data from the extremity tracking system and the finger manipulation data. The method includes registering an engagement event with respect to the computer-generated object according to the multi-finger gesture.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, and an extremity tracker. The method includes obtaining extremity tracking data via the extremity tracker. The method includes displaying a computer-generated representation of a trackpad that is spatially associated with a physical surface. The physical surface is viewable within the display along with a content manipulation region that is separate from the computer-generated representation of the trackpad. The method includes identifying a first location within the computer-generated representation of the trackpad based on the extremity tracking data. The method includes mapping the first location to a corresponding location within the content manipulation region. The method includes displaying an indicator indicative of the mapping. The indicator may overlap the corresponding location within the content manipulation region.

Abstract: Detecting a touch includes receiving image data of a touching object of a user selecting selectable objects of a target surface, determining a rate of movement of the touching object, in response to determining that the rate of movement satisfies a predetermined threshold, modifying a touch detection parameter for detecting a touch event between the touching object and the target surface, and detecting one or more additional touch events using the modified touch detection parameter.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide augmentations in extended reality (XR) using sensor data from a user worn device. The sensor data may be used understand that a user's state is associated with providing user assistance, e.g., a user's appearance or behavior or an understanding of the environment may be used to recognize a need or desire for user assistance. The augmentations may assist the user by enhancing or supplementing the user's abilities, e.g., providing guidance or other information about an environment to disabled/impaired person.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of computer-generated objects, and obtaining finger manipulation data from a finger-wearable device via a communication interface. In some implementations, the method includes receiving an untethered input vector that includes a plurality of untethered input indicator values. Each of the plurality of untethered input indicator values is associated with one of a plurality of untethered input modalities. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining proxy object manipulation data from a physical proxy object via the communication interface. The proxy object manipulation data corresponds to sensor data associated with one or more sensors integrated in the physical proxy object. The method includes registering an engagement event with respect to a first one of the plurality of computer-generated objects based on a combination of the finger manipulation data, the untethered input vector, and the proxy object manipulation data.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a head-mounted device may present extended reality content such as a representation of a three-dimensional environment. The representation of the three-dimensional environment may be changed between different viewing modes having different immersion levels in response to user input. The three-dimensional environment may represent a multiuser communication session. A multiuser communication session may be saved and subsequently viewed as a replay. There may be an interactive virtual object within the replay of the multiuser communication session. The pose of the interactive virtual object may be manipulated by a user while the replay is paused. Some multiuser communication sessions may be hierarchical multiuser communication sessions with a presenter and audience members. The presenter and audience members may receive generalized feedback based on the audience members during the presentation. A participant may have their role changed between audience member and presenter during the presentation.

Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a display, and a communication interface provided to communicate with a finger-wearable device. The method includes displaying first instructional content that is associated with a first gesture. The first instructional content includes a first object. The method includes determining an engagement score that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first object. The method includes obtaining finger manipulation data from the finger-wearable device via the communication interface. The method includes determining that the finger-wearable device performs the first gesture based on a function of the finger manipulation data. The method includes, in response to determining that the finger-wearable device performs the first gesture, in accordance with a determination that the engagement score satisfies an engagement criterion, displaying an indication indicating that the first gesture is directed to the first object.
