EXTRAMISSIVE SPATIAL IMAGING DIGITAL EYE GLASS APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VIRTUAL OR AUGMEDIATED VISION, MANIPULATION, CREATION, OR INTERACTION WITH OBJECTS, MATERIALS, OR OTHER ENTITIES
A sensing and display apparatus, comprising: a first phenomenon interface configured to operatively interface with a first augmediated-reality space, and a second phenomenon interface configured to operatively interface with a second augmediated-reality space, is implemented as an extramissive spatial imaging digital eye glass.
1 . An apparatus comprising:
at least one display;
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
output, for display on the at least one display, a first virtual icon in an augmented reality space, wherein the first virtual icon represents a first software application;
obtain eye tracking information associated with a user of the apparatus;
detect, from first image data, a first hand gesture corresponding to a setting selection associated with output of a virtual line; and
execute a first operation in response to the first hand gesture, wherein the first operation includes outputting, for display on the at least one display, the virtual line between a hand of the user and the first virtual icon.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
output, for display on the at least one display, a second virtual icon, wherein the second virtual icon represents a second software application;
visually modify, based on the eye tracking information, the second virtual icon;
detect, from second image data, a second hand gesture; and
execute a second operation in response to the second hand gesture, wherein the second operation is different from the first operation.
3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second operation includes launching the second software application.
4 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second operation comprises moving a position of the second virtual icon from a first position relative to the display to a second position relative to the display.
5 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second operation comprises causing a virtual menu of the second software application to be scrolled.
6 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second hand gesture includes physical contact between an index finger and a thumb of a hand of the user.
7 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein, to visually modify the second virtual icon, the at least one processor is configured to focus the second virtual icon.
8 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein, to visually modify the second virtual icon, the at least one processor is configured to highlight the second virtual icon.
9 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein, to visually modify the second virtual icon, the at least one processor is configured to move a location of the second virtual icon.
10 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine a first position of a hand of the user based on the second image data;
determine a second position of the hand based on the second image data, wherein the second position is different than the first position; and
update a position of the second virtual icon based on the second position of the hand.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine a third position of a hand of the user, wherein the third position is different than the second position; and
visually deemphasize the second virtual icon based on the third position of the hand.
12 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second hand gesture is a pinch gesture, and wherein the first hand gesture is a pinch gesture.
13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
render virtual content associated with the augmented reality space; and
composite image data from one or more image sensors with the virtual content.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the virtual content associated with the augmented reality space includes a plurality of virtual icons representing a plurality of software applications.
15 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the augmented reality space includes a virtual reality space.
16 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a head-mounted device.
17 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is part of a head-mounted device.
18 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising at least one camera configured to capture the first image data.
19 . A method comprising:
displaying, on at least one display of a device, a first virtual icon in an augmented reality space, wherein the first virtual icon represents a first software application;
obtaining eye tracking information associated with a user of the device;
detecting, from first image data, a first hand gesture corresponding to a setting selection associated with output of a virtual line; and
executing a first operation in response to the first hand gesture, wherein the first operation includes outputting, for display on the at least one display, the virtual line between a hand of the user and the first virtual icon.
20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising:
displaying, on the at least one display, a second virtual icon, wherein the second virtual icon represents a second software application;
visually modifying, based on the eye tracking information, the second virtual icon;
detecting, from second image data, a second hand gesture; and
executing a second operation in response to the second hand gesture, wherein the second operation is different from the first operation.
