Example wearable devices having multiple distributed radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas are disclosed. A disclosed example wearable device includes a first RFID antenna; a second RFID antenna; a processor configured to activate one of the first RFID antenna or the second RFID antenna based upon at least one of a location or a type of an RFID object external to the wearable device; and a body, wherein an RFID radio, the first RFID antenna, and the second RFID antenna are disposed at respective positions along the body. The wearable device may include the RFID radio, wherein, when the wearable device is worn, the RFID radio and the processor are disposed at one or more fingers of a user's hand, the first RFID antenna is disposed at an upper side of the user's hand, and the second RFID antenna is disposed at a user's wrist.

Wearable devices having multiple distributed radio frequency identification antennas

A computing device includes: a three-dimensional (3D) sensor configured to capture point cloud data from a field of view (FOV); an auxiliary sensor configured to capture reference depth measurements corresponding to a surface within the FOV; a controller connected with the 3D sensor and the auxiliary sensor, the controller configured to: detect a reference depth capture condition; when the reference depth capture condition satisfies a quality criterion, control the auxiliary sensor to capture a reference depth corresponding to the surface within the FOV; and initiate, based on the captured reference depth, generation of corrective data for use at the 3D sensor to capture the point cloud data.

Three-dimensional sensor acuity recovery assistance

A wearable computing device includes: a wearable housing; a display assembly supported by the housing and switchable between (i) an active configuration to occlude an optical path between an operator field of view and an exterior of the wearable computing device, and (ii) a fail-safe configuration to clear the optical path; and a mitigation subsystem including an actuator controllable to switch the display assembly from the active configuration to the fail-safe configuration in response to detection of a display failure condition.
