Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for a wearable multimedia device and cloud computing platform with an application ecosystem for processing multimedia data captured by the wearable multimedia device. In an embodiment, a body-worn apparatus comprises: a camera; a depth sensor; a laser projection system; one or more processors; memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: capturing, using the camera, a set of digital images; identifying an object in the set of digital images; capturing, using the depth sensor, depth data; identifying a gesture of a user wearing the apparatus in the depth data; associating the object with the gesture; obtaining data associated with the object; and projecting, using the laser projection system, a laser projection of the data on a surface.

Wearable multimedia device and cloud computing platform with laser projection system

In an embodiment, a wearable multimedia device, comprises: a housing configured to attach to clothing of a user; a wide field-of-view camera embedded in the housing; one or more processors; memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: capturing, using the camera, an image of a scene that includes a bar code displayed by a terminal device; determining an intent of the user to read the bar code; in accordance with the user's intent to read the barcode: cropping the barcode from the image of the scene; establishing, using the bar code, a communication channel with the terminal device; receiving, using the communication channel, transaction data from the terminal device; and responsive to the transaction data, sending, using the communication channel, authentication credentials to the terminal device.

Bar code detection and authentication for contactless transactions using wearable multimedia device

Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for gesture recognition for a wearable multimedia device using real-time data streams. In an embodiment, a method comprises: detecting a trigger event from one or more real-time data streams running on a wearable multimedia device; taking one or more data snapshots of the one or more real-time data streams; inferring user intent from the one or more data snapshots; and selecting a service or preparing content for the user based on the inferred user intent. In an embodiment, a hand and finger pointing direction is determined from a depth image, a 2D bounding box for the hand/finger is projected into a 2D image space and compared to bounding boxes for identified/labeled objects in the 2D image space to identify an object that the hand is holding or the finger is pointing toward.

Gesture recognition for wearable multimedia device using real-time data streams

Techniques are disclosed for creating scaled images with super resolution using neighborhood patches of pixels to provide higher resolution than traditional interpolation techniques. Also disclosed are techniques for creating super field-of-view (FOV) images of a scene created from previously captured and stored images of the scene that are stitched together with a current image of the scene, to generate an image of the scene that extends beyond the fixed FOV of the camera.
