An adjustment image of a projected image is captured by a disparity image sensor. A first defocus factor in generated response to comparing the adjustment image with a reference image driven onto a display projector assembly the generated the projected image. A second defocus factor is generated in response to an alignment of a first intensity profile of the adjustment image and a second intensity profile of the adjustment image. A focusing lens of the display projector assembly is adjusted in response to at least one of the first defocus factor and the second defocus factor.

Active defocus for display assembly

A stabilization actuation assembly includes a lens barrel, a magnetic assembly, one or more stabilizing coils, an outer shell, and a piece of ferromagnetic material. The lens barrel is configured to carry a lens that is positioned along an optical axis. The magnetic assembly includes a plurality of magnets that produce a magnetic field. The one or more stabilizing coils are coupled to a printed circuit board below the plurality of magnets. The outer shell includes an aperture through which the lens barrel can actuate. The piece of ferromagnetic material is coupled to a surface of the outer shell and is positioned to augment the magnetic field. A current supplied to the one or more stabilizing coils interacts with the augmented magnetic field to cause the magnetic assembly together with the lens barrel to translate in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

Augmented optical image stabilization using ferromagnetic materials

The disclosed system may include a support structure configured to structurally support various system components. The system may also include a camera housing, affixed to the support structure, that houses optical components for a camera. The system may further include an antenna, at least a portion of which is disposed on the camera housing, as well as an antenna feed that electrically connects the antenna to a receiver or a transmitter. Various other apparatuses, methods of manufacturing, and wearable devices are also disclosed.

Integrated camera antenna

Video presence systems are described that detect an area of interest (e.g., facial region) within captured image data and analyze the area of interest using known color information of the content currently being presented by a display, along with measured ambient light color information from a color sensor, to determine whether the area of interest (e.g., face) is currently illuminated by the display or whether the AOI is not affected by the display and instead only illuminated by the ambient light. Upon determining that the display casts color shade on the AOI, the video presence system pre-processes the image data of the detected area of interest to correct the color back to skin color under ambient light prior to performing general white balance correction.

Color correction for video communications using display content color information

A display assembly generates environmentally matched virtual content for an electronic display. The display assembly includes a display controller and a display. The display controller is configured to estimate environmental matching information for a target area within a local area based in part on light information received from a light sensor. The target area is a region for placement of a virtual object. The light information describes light values. The display controller generates display instructions for the target area based in part on a human vision model, the estimated environmental matching information, and rendering information associated with the virtual object. The display is configured to present the virtual object as part of artificial reality content in accordance with the display instructions. The color and brightness of the virtual object is environmentally matched to the portion of the local area surrounding the target area.
