Latest Patents

Hu’s recent patent work explores how electronic devices can interpret an object’s movement and position using multiple cameras.

“Electronic Apparatuses and Methods for Providing a Man-Machine Interface (MMI)” describes an electronic apparatus with at least two cameras and a processing device. The processor measures the object’s distance from the surface formed by the cameras at different times, then uses those measurements to determine the object’s corresponding depth in a virtual space.

“Apparatuses and Methods for Providing a 3D Man-Machine Interface (MMI)” also uses at least two cameras and a processing device. It measures the distance between an object and the camera-defined surface at three points in time, then calculates the object’s virtual-space depth from those measurements. The described method uses the object’s changing distance to support three-dimensional interaction.

Career Highlights

Hu’s listed inventions focus on translating camera observations into depth information for virtual interfaces. This approach can enable electronic apparatuses to interpret user movement as input in a three-dimensional environment.
