Device Control Utilizing Optical Flow

摘要

A computing device includes an interface configured to receive image data that is indicative of a field-of-view (FOV) that is associated with a head-mountable display (HMD). The computing device also includes a computing system configured to determine optical flow from the image data and to determine, based on the optical flow, whether or not the HMD is associated with operation of a vehicle. Further, the computing device is configured to control the HMD to display information in a first mode, if the HMD is associated with the operation of the vehicle, and to control the HMD to display information in a second mode, if the HMD is not associated with the operation of the vehicle.

主权项

1. A computing device comprising:
a camera configured to receive image data that is indicative of a field-of-view (FOV) that is associated with a head-mountable display (HMD); one or more sensors disposed on the HMD; and a computing system configured to:
determine optical flow of the FOV from the image data;determine, based on an output from the one or more sensors, that the HMD is positioned at an operator location in a vehicle as opposed to a passenger location in the vehicle;determine, based on the optical flow and the determination regarding the position of the HMD in the vehicle, that the HMD is associated with operation of the vehicle;control the HMD to display information in a first mode, if the HMD is associated with the operation of the vehicle; andcontrol the HMD to display information in a second mode different from the first mode, if the HMD is not associated with the operation of the vehicle.
