Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computing device including an image-capture device and a control system. The control system may be configured to receive sensor data from one or more sensors, and analyze the sensor data to detect at least one image-capture signal. The control system may also be configured to cause the image-capture device to capture an image in response to detection of the at least one image-capture signal. The control system may also be configured to enable one or more speech commands relating to the image-capture device in response to capturing the image. The control system may also be configured to receive one or more verbal inputs corresponding to the one or more enabled speech commands. The control system may also be configured to perform an image-capture function corresponding to the one or more verbal inputs.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for varying functionality of a wearable computing device. An example device includes a first sensor and a second sensor. An example method includes, while a device is operating in a first state, receiving an indication of a touch input at the first sensor. The second sensor is configured in an idle mode based on the device operating in the first state. The method further includes, in response to receiving the indication of the touch input, triggering the second sensor to operate in an active mode and receiving data from the second sensor. The method further includes determining, based on the data, whether the device is being worn.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to winking to capture image data using an image capture device that is associated with a head-mountable device (HMD). An illustrative method includes detecting a wink gesture at an HMD. The method also includes causing an image capture device to capture image data, in response to detecting the wink gesture at the HMD.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to example implementations for side-mounted optical sensors for eye gestures on a head mountable display. An example wearable computing device may include a wearable frame structure that includes a front portion and at least one side arm. In some instances, ends of the side arms may couple and extend away from the front portion at a coupling point. Additionally, the example device may include optical elements coupled to the front portion and may further include one or more sensors arranged on an inner surface of a side arm proximal to the coupling point. The sensors may be oriented to receive sensor data from at least one eye region when the wearable computing device is worn.

Abstract: Examples of methods and systems for using eye gesture duration to provide calibration for eye gesture detection are described. In some examples, calibration can be executed using a head-mountable device. The head-mountable device may be configured to determine a duration range indicative of an eye gesture and receive a plurality of reference signals indicative of the eye gesture. The plurality of reference signals may comprise duration information indicative of a plurality of reference durations of the eye gesture. The head-mountable device may determine, based on the plurality of reference durations, a reference duration range associated with the eye gesture that is within the duration range, and adjust the duration range for the eye gesture based on the reference duration range.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described herein related to recognizing a look up gesture. Level-indication data from at least an accelerometer associated with a wearable computing device (WCD) can be received. The WCD can be worn by a wearer. The WCD can determine whether a head of the wearer is level based on the level-indication data. In response to determining that the head of the wearer is level, the WCD can receive lookup-indication data from at least the accelerometer. The WCD can determine whether the head of the wearer is tilted up based on the lookup-indication data. In response to determining that the head of the wearer is tilted up, the WCD can generate a gesture-recognition trigger, where the gesture-recognition trigger indicates that the head of the wearer has moved up from level.
