External computer vision for an eyewear device

This invention describes a way for augmented reality (AR) glasses to interact with a user's movements. It works by having the AR glasses connect to an external device, like a smartphone, which uses its camera to detect the user's entire body. The external device helps the user position themselves correctly, then sends signals to the AR glasses, which respond by showing a notification or changing virtual objects in the user's view based on their movements.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread, efficient whole-body pose estimation was readily available on consumer devices. Modern AI models make the external vision system much more robust and easier to implement on a smartphone.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAR eyewear, computer vision, software integration
