Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for audio signal processing are presented. Some configurations include determining that first audio activity in at least one microphone signal is voice activity; determining whether the voice activity is voice activity of a participant in an application session active on a device; based at least on a result of the determining whether the voice activity is voice activity of a participant in the application session, generating an antinoise signal to cancel the first audio activity; and by a loudspeaker, producing an acoustic signal that is based on the antinoise signal. Applications relating to shared virtual spaces are described.

Audio control for extended-reality shared space

Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for extended reality (XR) control of smart devices. An example method can include generating, by a first computing device, a cryptographic key; outputting, by the first computing device, a pattern that encodes the cryptographic key, the pattern including a visual pattern, an audio pattern, and/or a light pattern; receiving, by the first computing device from a second computing device, a signed message including a command to modify an operation of the first computing device; determining, by the first computing device, whether the signed message is signed with the cryptographic key encoded in the pattern; and based on a determination that the signed message is signed with the cryptographic key encoded in the pattern, modifying the operation of the first computing device according to the command in the signed message.

Extended reality control of smart devices

Systems, apparatuses (or devices), methods, and computer-readable media are provided for generating virtual content. For example, a device (e.g., an extended reality device) can obtain an image of a scene of a real-world environment, wherein the real-world environment is viewable through a display of the extended reality device as virtual content is displayed by the display. The device can detect at least a part of a physical hand of a user in the image. The device can generate a virtual keyboard based on detecting at least the part of the physical hand. The device can determine a position for the virtual keyboard on the display of the extended reality device relative to at least the part of the physical hand. The device can display the virtual keyboard at the position on the display.

Virtual content generation

Techniques and systems are provided for providing recommendations for extended reality systems. In some examples, a system determines one or more environmental features associated with a real-world environment of an extended reality system. The system determines one or more user features associated with a user of the extended reality system. The system also outputs, based on the one or more environmental features and the one or more user features, a notification associated with at least one application supported by the extended reality system.

Recommendations for extended reality systems

Techniques and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting virtual content provided by an extended reality system. In some examples, a system determines a level of distraction of a user of the extended reality system due to virtual content provided by the extended reality system. The system determines whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than a threshold level of distraction, where the threshold level of distraction is determined based at least in part on one or more environmental factors associated with a real world environment in which the user is located. The system also adjusts one or more characteristics of the virtual content based on the determination of whether the level of distraction of the user due to the virtual content exceeds or is less than the threshold level of distraction.

Context-aware extended reality systems

Techniques described herein include detecting a degree of motion sickness experienced by a user within a vehicle. A suitable combination of physiological data (heart rate, heart rate variability parameters, blood volume pulse, oxygen values, respiration values, galvanic skin response, skin conductance values, and the like), eye gaze data (e.g., images of the user), vehicle motion data (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope data indicative of vehicle oscillations) may be utilized to identify the degree of motion sickness experienced by the user. One or more autonomous actions may be performed to prevent an escalation in the degree of motion sickness experienced by the user or to ameliorate the degree of motion sickness currently experienced by the user.

Motion sickness detection system for autonomous vehicles

A device may be configured to determining display properties for virtual content in an environment with a plurality of physical participants by capturing an image of the environment, analyzing the captured image to identify at least one object in the environment, determining a parameter for the identified object, and determining a display property of a digital representation of virtual content based on the determined parameter. Embodiments may include negotiating display properties with other devices to generate coordinated display properties, and rendering the digital representation of the virtual content so that the remote participant appears to be in the same fixed position to all co-located participants and sized consistent with the co-located participants.

Placement of virtual content in environments with a plurality of physical participants

Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing multisensor inputs on a mobile computing device. Various embodiments may include receiving multiple inputs from multiple touch sensors, identifying types of user interactions with the touch sensors from the multiple inputs, identifying sensor input data in a multisensor input data structure corresponding with the types of user interactions, and determining whether the multiple inputs combine as a multisensor input in an entry in the multisensor input data structure having the sensor input data related to a multisensor input response. Various embodiments may include detecting a trigger for a multisensor input mode, entering the multisensor input mode in response to detecting the trigger, and enabling processing of an input from a touch sensor.

Managing and mapping multi-sided touch

Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for generating virtual private spaces for extended reality (XR) experiences. An example method can include initiating a virtual session for presenting virtual content and identifying, for the virtual session, a portion of a physical space for use as a virtual private space for presenting at least a portion of the virtual content. The method can include outputting boundary information defining a boundary of the virtual private space, and generate at least the portion of the virtual content for the virtual private space. At least the portion of the virtual content is viewable in the virtual private space by one or more authorized users of the virtual session and is not viewable by one or more unauthorized users.
