Using head gesture and eye position to wake a head mounted device

摘要

Embodiments described herein may help to provide a wake-up mechanism for a computing device. An example method involves, the computing device: (a) receiving head-movement data that is indicative of head movement; (b) detecting at least a portion of the head-movement data that is indicative of a head gesture; (c) receiving eye-position data that is indicative of eye position; (d) detecting at least a portion of the eye-position data that is indicative of an eye being directed towards a display of a head-mounted device (HMD); and (e) causing the HMD to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode in response to the detection of both: (i) the eye-movement data that is indicative of an eye directed towards the display, and (ii) the head-movement data indicative of the head gesture.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving head-movement data that is indicative of head movement; detecting at least a portion of the head-movement data that is indicative of a head gesture; receiving eye-position data that is indicative of eye position; detecting at least a portion of the eye-position data that is indicative of an eye being directed towards a display of a head-mountable device (HMD); and causing the HMD to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode in response to the detection of both: (i) the eye-position data that is indicative of an eye directed towards the display, and (ii) the head-movement data indicative of the head gesture, wherein the eye-position data is received before the head-movement data, and wherein reception of the head-movement data is disabled until the eye-position data is received.
