Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for detecting a gesture performed at a first distance (410) and at a second distance (420). A first aspect of a target may be manipulated according to the first gesture at the first distance (430) and a second aspect of the target may be manipulated according to the first gesture at the second distance (440).
Abstract:
Described is a technique for providing intent-based feedback on a display screen capable of receiving gesture inputs. The intent-based approach may be based on detecting uncertainty from the user, and in response, providing gesture information. The uncertainty may be based on determining a pause from the user and the gesture information may include instructions that inform the user of the set of available input gestures. The gesture information may be displayed in one or menu tiers using a delay-based approach. Accordingly, the gesture information may be displayed in an informative and efficient manner without burdening the display screen.
Abstract:
A device includes a top cover, a bottom cover connected to the top cover, where the bottom cover is configured to hold an electronic device, and one or more components of a virtual reality headset configured to fold flat on an inner side of the top cover. The components of the virtual reality headset may include a lens frame assembly and a support member.
Abstract:
In one general aspect, a system for providing a virtual reality (VR) space can include a mobile computing device, and a VR headset operatively coupled to the mobile computing device and including a screen. The mobile computing device can be configured to execute a VR application, and provide content for display on the screen of the VR headset in the VR space.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for using a magnetic controller to control device. In one aspect, a system includes a magnetic controller external to a device, the magnetic controller including: a magnetic device for altering a surrounding magnetic field of a device; one or more input actuators, each operatively coupled to the magnetic device and that when actuated cause the magnetic device alter the surrounding magnetic field according to a predefined change associated with the input actuator; and a model executable by the device and that models as device inputs the differences in the surrounding magnetic field of the device caused by the actuation of the one or more input actuators.
Abstract:
Methods for device pairing via a cloud server are provided. In one aspect, a method includes sending an initial signal from a first device to a second device. The method includes sending a notification from the first device of a set of communication capabilities of the first device. The method also includes receiving an indication of a common communication capability between the first and second devices. The method includes initiating pairing of the first device and the second device using the common communication capability in response to the received indication. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract:
Voice commands and gesture recognition are two mechanisms by which an individual may interact with content such as that on a display. In an implementation, interactivity of a user with content on a device or display may be modified based on the distance between a user and the display. An attribute such as a user profile may be used to tailor the modification of the display to an individual user. In some configurations, the commands available to the user may also be modified based on the determined distance between the user and a device or display.
Abstract:
A function of a device, such as volume, may be controlled using a combination of gesture recognition and an interpolation scheme. Distance between two objects such as a user's hands may be determined at a first time point and a second time point. The difference between the distances calculated at two time points may be mapped onto a plot of determined difference versus a value of the function to set the function of a device to the mapped value.
