Augmented reality features are selected for presentation to a display of an electronic eyewear device by using a camera of the electronic eyewear device to capture a scan image and processing the scan image to extract contextual signals. Simultaneously, voice data from the user is captured by a microphone of the electronic eyewear device and voice-to-text conversion of the captured voice data is performed to identify keywords in the voice data. The extracted contextual signals and the identified keywords are then used to select at least one augmented reality feature that matches the extracted contextual signals and the identified keywords, and the selected augmented reality feature is presented to the display for user selection. The contextual information thus refines the search results to provide the augmented reality feature best suited for the context of the scan image captured by the electronic eyewear device.

Contextual visual and voice search from electronic eyewear device

A head-worn device system includes one or more cameras, one or more display devices and one or more processors. The system also includes a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the system to detect a gesture made by a user of the computing apparatus and generate gesture data identifying the gesture, select an application or selected action from a set of registered applications and actions based on the gesture data, and invoke the application or selected action.

Gesture-based application invocation

Electronic eyewear device providing simplified audio source separation, also referred to as voice/sound unmixing, using alignment between respective device trajectories. Multiple users of electronic eyewear devices in an environment may simultaneously generate audio signals (e.g., voices/sounds) that are difficult to distinguish from one another. The electronic eyewear device tracks the location of moving remote electronic eyewear devices of other users, or an object of the other users, such as the remote user's face, to provide audio source separation using location of the sound sources. The simplified voice unmixing uses a microphone array of the electronic eyewear device and the known location of the remote user's electronic eyewear device with respect to the user's electronic eyewear device to facilitate audio source separation.

An eyewear device that performs diarization by segmenting spoken language into different speakers and remembering each speaker over the course of a session. The speech of each speaker is translated to text and the text of each speaker is displayed on an eyewear display. The text of each user has a different attribute such that the eyewear user can distinguish the text of different speakers. Examples of the text attribute can be a text color, font, and font size. The text is displayed on the eyewear display such that it does not substantially obstruct the user's vision.
