Abstract: A system can include head-mounted devices that collaborate to process views from cameras of the respective head-mounted devices and identify objects from different perspectives and/or objects that are within the view of only one of the head-mounted devices. Sharing sensory input between multiple head-mounted devices can complement and enhance individual units by interpreting and reconstructing objects, surfaces, and/or an external environment with perceptive data from multiple angles and positions, which also reduces occlusions and inaccuracies. As more detailed information is available at a specific moment in time, the speed and accuracy of object recognition, hand and body tracking, surface mapping, and/or digital reconstruction can be improved. Such collaboration can provide more effective and efficient mapping of space, surfaces, objects, gestures and users.

Abstract: A head-mounted device includes a frame and a sensor coupled to the frame. The sensor includes a first conductive plate coupled to the frame and a first contact pad coupled to the frame and electrically coupled to the first conductive plate. The first contact pad includes an electrically conductive material embedded in a non-electrically conductive material, and the first contact pad is resiliently flexible and is configured for facial engagement. The sensor is configured to generate a signal that indicates a change in a capacitance of the sensor, and a controller is configured to change a power state of the head-mounted device based on the signal.

Abstract: A head-mounted device (10) may have a housing (12) with a frame (12F) that supports lenses. Each lens may have a positive bias lens element and a negative bias lens element (16N). A waveguide may overlap the lens. During operation, images from the waveguide may be provided to an eye box (20) through the negative bias lens element. An eye sensor such as a gaze tracking camera (32) may operate through the negative bias lens element (16N). The negative bias lens element may have a protruding portion (38) through which the sensor operates, may have a surface (36) facing the sensor that has a curved surface to provide a desired lens characteristic, may have a prism (40) for helping to couple light from the eye box (20) to the eye sensor, and/or may have other features to facilitate use of the eye sensor to monitor the eye of a user in the eye box (20).
