Technical Field

[0004] The present disclosure generally relates to computer systems providing computer-generated experiences in communication with one or more display generation components and, optionally, one or more audio output devices, including but not limited to electronic devices that provide virtual reality and mixed reality experiences via displays. Background Art

[0005] In recent years, the development of computer systems for augmented reality has increased significantly. Example augmented reality environments include at least some virtual elements that replace or enhance the physical world. Input devices for computer systems and other electronic computing devices (such as cameras, controllers, joysticks, touch-sensitive surfaces, and touchscreen displays) are used to interact with virtual / augmented reality environments. Example virtual elements include virtual objects such as digital images, videos, text, icons, and control elements (such as buttons and other graphics). Summary of the Invention

[0006] Some methods and interfaces for generating and / or displaying representations of users in environments that include at least some virtual elements (e.g., applications, augmented reality environments, mixed reality environments, and virtual reality environments) are cumbersome, inefficient, and limited. For example, systems that provide insufficient feedback and / or guidance for performing actions associated with capturing information used to generate a representation of the user, and systems that do not provide the ability to preview and / or edit a user's representation, are complex, tedious, and error-prone, impose a significant cognitive burden on the user, and detract from the experience of the virtual / augmented reality environment. Furthermore, these methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy on the computer system. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-powered devices.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for computer systems with improved methods and interfaces for providing computer-generated experiences to users, making the generation of representations of users by computer systems more efficient and intuitive for users. Such methods and interfaces optionally supplement or replace conventional methods for generating representations of users. Such methods and interfaces reduce the amount, extent, and / or nature of inputs from users by helping users understand the connection between inputs provided and the device's responses to those inputs, thereby creating a more effective human-computer interface.

[0008] The above-mentioned defects and other problems associated with the user interface of the computer system are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed system. In some embodiments, the computer system is a desktop computer with an associated display. In some embodiments, the computer system is a portable device (e.g., a laptop, a tablet computer, or a handheld device). In some embodiments, the computer system is a personal electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device, such as a watch or a head-mounted device). In some embodiments, the computer system has a touch pad. In some embodiments, the computer system has one or more cameras. In some embodiments, the computer system has a touch-sensitive display (also referred to as a "touch screen" or "touch screen display"). In some embodiments, the computer system has one or more eye tracking components. In some embodiments, the computer system has one or more hand tracking components. In some embodiments, in addition to the display generation component, the computer system also has one or more output devices, which include one or more tactile output generators and / or one or more audio output devices. In some embodiments, the computer system has a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more processors, a memory, and one or more modules, a program or instruction set stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI through contacts and gestures of a stylus and / or fingers on a touch-sensitive surface, movement of the user's eyes and hands in space relative to the GUI (and / or computer system) or the user's body (as captured by a camera and other motion sensors), and / or voice input (as captured by one or more audio input devices). In some embodiments, the functions performed by interaction optionally include image editing, drawing, presentations, word processing, spreadsheet creation, playing games, making and receiving calls, video conferencing, sending and receiving emails, instant messaging, test support, digital photography, digital video recording, web browsing, digital music playback, note-taking, and / or digital video playback. Executable instructions for performing these functions are optionally included in a transient and / or non-transient computer-readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

[0009] There is a need for electronic devices with improved methods and interfaces for generating and / or displaying representations of a user. Such methods and interfaces can supplement or replace conventional methods for generating and / or displaying representations of a user. Such methods and interfaces reduce the amount, extent, and / or nature of input from a user and produce a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, such methods and interfaces save power and increase the time between battery charges. In addition, such methods and interfaces improve the ergonomics of the device, provide a more varied, more detailed, and / or more realistic user experience, allow the use of fewer and / or less accurate sensors, thereby producing a more compact, lighter, and less expensive device, and / or reduce energy usage.

[0077] According to some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a user interface for providing an extended reality (XR) experience to a user.

[0078] The systems, methods, and GUIs described herein improve user interface interactions with virtual / augmented reality environments in several ways.

[0079] In some embodiments, a computer system provides non-visual feedback, such as audio feedback and / or tactile feedback, to a user during a registration process that includes capturing information about one or more physical characteristics of the user. During the registration process, the computer system prompts the user to reposition their head relative to the orientation of the computer system. The computer system includes a sensor positioned on the same side of the computer system as a first display generating component of the computer system, and the sensor is configured to capture information about one or more physical characteristics of the user. In some embodiments, the computer system generates a representation of the user based on the captured information about the one or more physical characteristics of the user. After prompting the user to reposition their head, the computer system determines whether a threshold amount of information about the user's first physical characteristic has been captured. When the computer system determines that the threshold amount of information about the user's first physical characteristic has been captured, the computer system outputs non-visual feedback to confirm that the threshold amount of information has been captured and signals the user to prepare for the next step of the registration process. When the computer system determines that the threshold amount of information about the user's first physical characteristic has not been captured, the computer system does not output non-visual feedback. In some embodiments, the computer system provides audio and / or visual feedback indicating the amount of movement of the user's head positioning relative to the computer system so that the user can determine whether to continue moving the user's head positioning relative to the computer system and / or stop the movement.

[0080] In some embodiments, the computer system displays different parts of the user's representation based on the movement of the user and / or the computer system relative to each other. The computer system is configured to use the captured information about one or more physical characteristics of the user to generate the user's representation. When displaying a first part of the user's representation, the computer system is configured to detect the movement of the user and / or the computer system relative to each other, and in response to detecting the movement, the computer system displays a second part of the user's representation that is different from the first part. In some embodiments, the computer system displays movement of the user's representation that reflects the detected movement of the user and / or the computer system relative to each other. In some embodiments, the computer system is configured to detect movement of the user and / or the computer system relative to each other along multiple different axes and / or along corresponding axes in multiple different directions.

[0081] In some embodiments, a computer system displays three-dimensional content associated with different steps of a registration process that includes capturing one or more physical characteristics of a user. The computer system outputs first three-dimensional content associated with a first step of the registration process, and after outputting the first three-dimensional content, the computer system outputs second three-dimensional content associated with a second step of the registration process. The three-dimensional content is configured to provide guidance to the user regarding the various steps of the registration process to facilitate the user's ability to perform and / or complete the registration process. In some embodiments, the computer system outputs audio feedback along with the three-dimensional content, which provides further guidance to the user.

[0082] In some embodiments, the computer system displays a first visual element and a second visual element that guides the user to align the positioning of the user's body with the computer system. The first visual element and the second visual element are displayed at different simulated depths and are configured to move relative to each other with simulated parallax, which is based on the movement of the user's body relative to the computer system. The computer system shifts the displayed positioning of the first visual element and the second visual element based on the movement of the user's body relative to the computer system. The first visual element indicates a target orientation and / or alignment of the user's body and the computer system, and the second visual element indicates a detected orientation and / or alignment of the user's body and the computer system. When the first visual element and the second visual element at least partially overlap each other and / or are otherwise positioned to have a target spatial arrangement, the user's body and the computer system are aligned with each other so that one or more sensors of the computer system can capture one or more physical characteristics of the user.

[0083] In some embodiments, a computer system displays a progress bar indicating an amount of progress toward a user performing one or more facial expressions. The computer system prompts the user to perform one or more facial expressions during an enrollment process that includes capturing information about one or more physical characteristics of the user. The computer system detects information about the user's facial features and, based on the information about the user's facial features, determines an amount of progress toward performing the one or more facial expressions. The computer system then displays the progress bar with an appearance corresponding to the amount of progress toward performing the one or more facial expressions. For example, when the information about the user's facial features corresponds to a first facial expression in the one or more facial expressions, the computer system displays the progress bar with a first fill amount. When the information about the user's facial features does not correspond to the first facial expression in the one or more facial expressions, the computer system displays the progress bar with a second fill amount that is less than the first fill amount. In some embodiments, the progress bar is three-dimensional and extends in a z-direction relative to the user's viewpoint. In some embodiments, the rate at which the progress bar fills slows down at the portion of the progress bar that extends in the z-direction relative to the user's viewpoint.

[0084] In some embodiments, the computer system outputs dynamic audio during a registration process that includes capturing one or more physical characteristics of the user. The computer system adjusts the output of the dynamic audio based on changes in the user's posture relative to the computer system to provide an audible indication of the amount of progress toward completing the registration process. In some embodiments, in addition to the dynamic audio, the computer system also outputs and / or displays visual feedback. In some embodiments, the dynamic audio includes different components and / or portions based on the user's physical location and / or the physical location of the computer system.

[0085] In some embodiments, the computer system prompts the user to position the user's hand in a first posture. After the computer system detects that the user's hand is positioned in the first posture, the computer system prompts the user to position the user's hand in a second posture. In response to detecting that the user's hand is positioned in the second posture, the computer system outputs a confirmation so that the user understands that the user's hand is positioned in the second posture. In some embodiments, the computer system outputs a confirmation in response to detecting that the user's hand is positioned in the first posture. In some embodiments, when the user's hand is positioned in the first posture and / or in the second posture, the computer system captures information about the user's hand. In some embodiments, the computer system generates a representation of the user's hand based on the captured information about the user's hand. In some embodiments, the computer system provides feedback to guide the user to position the user's hand in the first posture and / or the second posture.

[0086] In some embodiments, a computer system concurrently displays a representation of a user and a control user interface object that, when selected, causes the computer system to adjust the appearance of the user's representation based on lighting properties associated with the user's representation. In response to detecting user input corresponding to the control user interface object, the computer system adjusts the appearance of the user's representation based on the lighting properties associated with the user's representation. In some embodiments, the computer system adjusts the skin color of the user's representation in response to detecting the user input corresponding to the control user interface object. In some embodiments, the lighting properties are based on actual lighting conditions present in a physical environment that captures the physical properties of the user of the computer system. In some embodiments, the lighting properties are based on simulated lighting in an augmented reality environment in which the user's representation is displayed. In some embodiments, the lighting properties include color temperature, exposure, and / or brightness of the appearance of the user's representation. In some embodiments, the computer system adjusts the appearance of the user's representation based on a magnitude and / or direction associated with the user input corresponding to the control user interface object. In some embodiments, the computer system displays additional control user interface objects that, when selected, cause the computer system to adjust whether the user's representation is wearing an accessory and / or adjust the visual characteristics of the accessory.

Figure 17 is a flow diagram of a method of adjusting the appearance of a representation of a user, according to various embodiments. Figures 16A to 16G The user interface in Figure 17 in the process.

[0088] The processes described below enhance the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate input and reducing user errors when operating / interacting with the device) through various techniques, including by providing improved visual feedback to the user, reducing the number of inputs required to perform an operation, providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional display controls, performing an operation without further user input when a set of conditions have been met, improving privacy and / or security, providing a more diverse, more detailed, and / or more realistic user experience while saving storage space, and / or additional techniques. These techniques also reduce power usage and extend the battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Saving battery power, and therefore weight, improves the ergonomics of the device. These techniques also enable real-time communication, allow the use of fewer and / or less accurate sensors, resulting in a more compact, lighter, and less expensive device, and enable the device to be used in a variety of lighting conditions. These techniques reduce energy usage and thereby reduce the heat emitted by the device, which is particularly important for wearable devices where if the device generates too much heat well within the operating parameters of the device components, it may become uncomfortable for the user to wear the device.

[0089] In addition, in the method described herein where one or more steps depend on having met one or more conditions, it should be understood that the method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that in the process of repetition, all conditions of the steps in the method of determining the method have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if the method needs to perform the first step (if the condition is met), and perform the second step (if the condition is not met), then those of ordinary skill will know that the steps stated are repeated until both the condition is met and the condition is not met (in no particular order). Therefore, the method described as having one or more steps depending on having met one or more conditions can be rewritten as a method of repeating until each condition described in the method is met. However, this does not require a system or computer-readable medium to declare that the system or computer-readable medium includes instructions for performing a contingent operation based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions, and is therefore able to determine whether a possible situation has been met without explicitly repeating the steps of the method until all conditions of the steps in the method of determining the method have been met. Those of ordinary skill in the art will also understand that, similar to the method with a contingent step, a system or computer-readable storage medium can repeat the steps of the method as needed multiple times to ensure that all contingent steps have been performed.

[0090] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown in FIG, an XR experience is provided to a user via an operating environment 100 including a computer system 101. The computer system 101 includes a controller 110 (e.g., a processor of a portable electronic device or a remote server), a display generation component 120 (e.g., a head-mounted device (HMD), a display, a projector, and / or a touch screen), one or more input devices 125 (e.g., an eye tracking device 130, a hand tracking device 140, other input devices 150), one or more output devices 155 (e.g., a speaker 160, a tactile output generator 170, and other output devices 180), one or more sensors 190 (e.g., an image sensor, a light sensor, a depth sensor, a tactile sensor, an orientation sensor, a proximity sensor, a temperature sensor, a position sensor, a motion sensor, and / or a speed sensor), and optionally one or more peripheral devices 195 (e.g., a home appliance and / or a wearable device). In some embodiments, one or more of the input device 125, output device 155, sensor 190, and peripheral device 195 are integrated with the display generation component 120 (e.g., in a head-mounted device or a handheld device).

[0091] When describing an XR experience, various terms are used to distinctly refer to several related but distinct environments that a user can sense and / or with which the user can interact (e.g., using inputs detected by the computer system 101 generating the XR experience, which inputs cause the computer system generating the XR experience to generate audio, visual, and / or haptic feedback corresponding to the various inputs provided to the computer system 101). The following is a subset of these terms:

[0092] Physical Environment: The physical environment refers to the physical world that people can sense and / or interact with without the aid of electronic systems. A physical environment, such as a physical park, includes physical objects, such as physical trees, physical buildings, and physical people. People can directly sense and / or interact with the physical environment, such as through sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell.

[0093] Extended Reality: In contrast, an extended reality (XR) environment refers to a fully or partially simulated environment that people sense and / or interact with via electronic systems. In XR, a subset of a person's physical movements, or representations thereof, is tracked, and in response, one or more features of one or more virtual objects simulated in the XR environment are adjusted in a manner that conforms to at least one law of physics. For example, an XR system can detect a person's head rotation and, in response, adjust the graphical content and sound field presented to the person in a manner similar to how such views and sounds change in a physical environment. In some cases (e.g., for accessibility reasons), adjustments to features of virtual objects in an XR environment can be made in response to representations of physical movement (e.g., voice commands). People can sense and / or interact with XR objects using any of their senses, including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. For example, people can sense and / or interact with audio objects, which create a 3D or spatial audio environment that provides the perception of a point audio source in 3D space. As another example, audio objects can enable audio transparency, which selectively introduces ambient sounds from the physical environment with or without computer-generated audio. In some XR environments, people can sense and / or interact only with audio objects.

[0094] Examples of XR include virtual reality and mixed reality.

[0095] Virtual Reality: A virtual reality (VR) environment is a simulated environment designed to be based entirely on computer-generated sensory input to one or more senses. A VR environment includes multiple virtual objects that a person can sense and / or interact with. For example, trees, buildings, and computer-generated images representing human avatars are examples of virtual objects. A person can sense and / or interact with virtual objects in a VR environment through the simulation of the person's presence within the computer-generated environment and / or through the simulation of a subset of the person's physical movement within the computer-generated environment.

[0096] Mixed Reality: In contrast to VR environments, which are designed to be based entirely on computer-generated sensory input, a mixed reality (MR) environment refers to a simulated environment that is designed to include sensory input from the physical environment, or representations thereof, in addition to computer-generated sensory input (e.g., virtual objects). On the virtuality continuum, a mixed reality environment is anything between, but not including, a fully physical environment at one end and a virtual reality environment at the other. In some MR environments, computer-generated sensory input can respond to changes in sensory input from the physical environment. In addition, some electronic systems used to render MR environments can track position and / or orientation relative to the physical environment to enable virtual objects to interact with real objects (i.e., physical items from the physical environment, or representations thereof). For example, the system can cause motion so that virtual trees appear stationary relative to the physical ground.

[0097] Examples of mixed reality include augmented reality and augmented virtuality.

[0098] Augmented Reality: An augmented reality (AR) environment refers to a simulated environment in which one or more virtual objects are superimposed on a physical environment or a representation of a physical environment. For example, an electronic system for presenting an AR environment may have a transparent or translucent display through which a person can directly view the physical environment. The system can be configured to present virtual objects on a transparent or translucent display so that a person uses the system to perceive the virtual objects superimposed on the physical environment. Alternatively, the system may have an opaque display and one or more imaging sensors that capture images or videos of the physical environment, which are representations of the physical environment. The system combines the images or videos with the virtual objects and presents the combination on the opaque display. A person uses the system to indirectly view the physical environment via the images or videos of the physical environment and perceives the virtual objects superimposed on the physical environment. As used herein, a video of the physical environment displayed on an opaque display is referred to as "transparent video," meaning that the system uses one or more image sensors to capture images of the physical environment and uses those images when presenting the AR environment on the opaque display. Further alternatively, the system may have a projection system that projects virtual objects into a physical environment, such as as holograms or on a physical surface, so that a person using the system perceives the virtual objects superimposed on the physical environment. An augmented reality environment also refers to a simulated environment in which a representation of a physical environment is transformed by computer-generated sensory information. For example, in providing a pass-through video, the system may transform one or more sensor images to apply a selected perspective (e.g., a viewpoint) that is different from the perspective captured by the imaging sensor. As another example, the representation of the physical environment may be transformed by graphically modifying (e.g., enlarging) a portion thereof so that the modified portion may be a representative but not real version of the original captured image. As another example, the representation of the physical environment may be transformed by graphically eliminating a portion thereof or blurring a portion thereof.

[0099] Augmented Virtual: An augmented virtual (AV) environment is a simulated environment in which a virtual or computer-generated environment incorporates one or more sensory inputs from the physical environment. The sensory inputs can be representations of one or more characteristics of the physical environment. For example, an AV park can have virtual trees and virtual buildings, but people's faces are realistically reproduced from images taken of physical people. As another example, virtual objects can adopt the shape or color of physical items imaged by one or more imaging sensors. As another example, virtual objects can adopt shadows that conform to the positioning of the sun in the physical environment.

[0100] Viewpoint-locked virtual objects: When a computer system displays a virtual object at the same position and / or location in a user's viewpoint, even if the user's viewpoint shifts (e.g., changes), the virtual object is viewpoint-locked. In embodiments where the computer system is a head-mounted device, the user's viewpoint is locked to the forward direction of the user's head (e.g., when the user is looking straight ahead, the user's viewpoint is at least a portion of the user's field of view); thus, without moving the user's head, the user's viewpoint remains fixed even when the user's gaze shifts. In embodiments where the computer system has a display generation component (e.g., a display screen) that is repositionable relative to the user's head, the user's viewpoint is the augmented reality view presented to the user on the display generation component of the computer system. For example, a viewpoint-locked virtual object that is displayed in the upper left corner of the user's viewpoint when the user's viewpoint is in a first orientation (e.g., the user's head is facing north) continues to be displayed in the upper left corner of the user's viewpoint even when the user's viewpoint changes to a second orientation (e.g., the user's head is facing west). In other words, the position and / or location of the viewpoint-locked virtual object displayed in the user's viewpoint is independent of the user's position and / or orientation in the physical environment. In embodiments where the computer system is a head-mounted device, the user's viewpoint is locked to the orientation of the user's head, such that the virtual object is also referred to as a "head-locked virtual object."

[0101] Environment-locked visual objects: A virtual object is environment-locked (alternatively, "world-locked") when a computer system displays it at a location and / or position in a user's viewpoint that is based on (e.g., selected with reference to and / or anchored to) a location and / or object in a three-dimensional environment (e.g., a physical environment or a virtual environment). As the user's viewpoint moves, the location and / or objects in the environment change relative to the user's viewpoint, which causes the environment-locked virtual object to be displayed at a different location and / or position in the user's viewpoint. For example, an environment-locked virtual object locked to a tree immediately in front of the user is displayed at the center of the user's viewpoint. When the user's viewpoint shifts to the right (e.g., the user's head turns to the right) such that the tree is now to the left of center in the user's viewpoint (e.g., the tree's position in the user's viewpoint shifts), the environment-locked virtual object locked to the tree is displayed to the left of center in the user's viewpoint. In other words, the position and / or orientation at which an environment-locked virtual object is displayed in the user's viewpoint depends on the position and / or orientation of the object in the environment to which the virtual object is locked. In some embodiments, the computer system uses a stationary reference frame (e.g., a coordinate system anchored to fixed locations and / or objects in the physical environment) to determine the position at which an environment-locked virtual object is displayed in the user's viewpoint. An environment-locked virtual object can be locked to a stationary portion of the environment (e.g., a floor, wall, table, or other stationary object), or can be locked to a movable portion of the environment (e.g., a vehicle, an animal, a person, or even a representation of a part of the user's body that moves independently of the user's viewpoint, such as a hand, wrist, arm, or foot of the user) so that the virtual object moves as the viewpoint or that portion of the environment moves to maintain a fixed relationship between the virtual object and that portion of the environment.

[0102] In some embodiments, an environment-locked or viewpoint-locked virtual object exhibits an inertial following behavior that reduces or delays the movement of the environment-locked or viewpoint-locked virtual object relative to the movement of a reference point that the virtual object follows. In some embodiments, when exhibiting inertial following behavior, the computer system intentionally delays the movement of the virtual object when movement of a reference point (e.g., a portion of the environment, a viewpoint, or a point fixed relative to the viewpoint, such as a point between 5 cm and 300 cm from the viewpoint) that the virtual object is following is detected. For example, when the reference point (e.g., a portion of the environment or a viewpoint) moves at a first speed, the virtual object is moved by the device to remain locked to the reference point, but at a second speed that is slower than the first speed (e.g., until the reference point stops moving or slows down, at which point the virtual object begins to catch up with the reference point). In some embodiments, when the virtual object exhibits inertial following behavior, the device ignores small amounts of movement of the reference point (e.g., ignoring movements of the reference point below a threshold amount of movement, such as movement from 0 degrees to 5 degrees or movement from 0 cm to 50 cm). For example, when a reference point (e.g., a portion or viewpoint of an environment to which a virtual object is locked) moves a first amount, the distance between the reference point and the virtual object increases (e.g., because the virtual object is being displayed so as to maintain a fixed or substantially fixed position relative to a viewpoint or portion of the environment different from the reference point to which the virtual object is locked), and when the reference point (e.g., the portion or viewpoint of the environment to which the virtual object is locked) moves a second amount greater than the first amount, the distance between the reference point and the virtual object first increases (e.g., because the virtual object is being displayed so as to maintain a fixed or substantially fixed position relative to a viewpoint or portion of the environment different from the reference point to which the virtual object is locked), and then decreases when the amount of movement of the reference point increases above a threshold (e.g., a “lazy follow” threshold) because the virtual object is moved by the computer system to maintain a fixed or substantially fixed position relative to the reference point. In some embodiments, maintaining a substantially fixed position of the virtual object relative to the reference point includes displaying the virtual object within a threshold distance (e.g., 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, 50 cm) of the reference point in one or more dimensions (e.g., up / down, left / right, and / or forward / backward relative to the position of the reference point).

[0103] Hardware: There are many different types of electronic systems that enable people to sense and / or interact with various XR environments. Examples include head-mounted systems, projection-based systems, heads-up displays (HUDs), vehicle windshields with integrated display capabilities, windows with integrated display capabilities, displays formed as lenses designed to be placed on a person's eyes (e.g., similar to contact lenses), headphones / earpieces, speaker arrays, input systems (e.g., wearable or handheld controllers with or without haptic feedback), smartphones, tablet computers, and desktop / laptop computers. A head-mounted system may include speakers and / or other audio output devices integrated into the head-mounted system for providing audio output. A head-mounted system may have one or more speakers and an integrated opaque display. Alternatively, a head-mounted system may be configured to accept an external opaque display (e.g., a smartphone). A head-mounted system may incorporate one or more imaging sensors for capturing images or video of the physical environment and / or one or more microphones for capturing audio of the physical environment. A head-mounted system may have a transparent or translucent display instead of an opaque display. A transparent or translucent display can have a medium through which light representing an image is directed to a person's eyes. The display can utilize digital light projection, OLED, LED, uLED, liquid crystal on silicon, laser scanning light sources, or any combination of these technologies. The medium can be an optical waveguide, a holographic medium, an optical combiner, an optical reflector, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the transparent or translucent display can be configured to selectively become opaque. Projection-based systems can employ retinal projection technology that projects graphic images onto a person's retina. The projection system can also be configured to project virtual objects into a physical environment, for example as a hologram or on a physical surface. In some embodiments, the controller 110 is configured to manage and coordinate the user's XR experience. In some embodiments, the controller 110 includes a suitable combination of software, firmware, and / or hardware. Reference below Figure 2Controller 110 is described in more detail. In some embodiments, controller 110 is a computing device that is located locally or remotely relative to scene 105 (e.g., physical environment). For example, controller 110 is a local server located within scene 105. In another example, controller 110 is a remote server (e.g., a cloud server and / or a central server) located outside of scene 105. In some embodiments, controller 110 is communicatively coupled to display generation component 120 (e.g., HMD, display, projector, touch screen, etc.) via one or more wired or wireless communication channels 144 (e.g., Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.16x, and / or IEEE 802.3x). For example, the controller 110 is included within a housing (e.g., a physical housing) of the display generating component 120 (e.g., an HMD or a portable electronic device including a display and one or more processors), one or more input devices among the input devices 125, one or more output devices among the output devices 155, one or more sensors among the sensors 190, and / or one or more peripheral devices among the peripheral devices 195, or shares the same physical housing or support structure with one or more of the above devices.

[0104] In some embodiments, the display generation component 120 is configured to provide an XR experience (e.g., at least the visual component of the XR experience) to the user. In some embodiments, the display generation component 120 includes a suitable combination of software, firmware, and / or hardware. Figure 3 Display generation component 120 is described in further detail. In some embodiments, the functionality of controller 110 is provided by and / or combined with display generation component 120.

[0105] According to some embodiments, display generation component 120 provides an XR experience to the user when the user is virtually and / or physically present within scene 105.

[0106] In some embodiments, the display generation component is worn on a part of the user's body (e.g., on his / her head and / or on his / her hand). Thus, the display generation component 120 includes one or more XR displays provided for displaying XR content. For example, in various embodiments, the display generation component 120 surrounds the user's field of view. In some embodiments, the display generation component 120 is a handheld device (such as a smart phone or tablet computer) configured to present XR content, and the user holds a device with a display facing the user's field of view and a camera facing the scene 105. In some embodiments, the handheld device is optionally placed in a housing worn on the user's head. In some embodiments, the handheld device is optionally placed on a support (e.g., a tripod) in front of the user. In some embodiments, the display generation component 120 is an XR room, housing, or room configured to present XR content, wherein the user does not wear or hold the display generation component 120. Many user interfaces described with reference to one type of hardware for displaying XR content (e.g., a handheld device or a device on a tripod) can be implemented on another type of hardware for displaying XR content (e.g., an HMD or other wearable computing device). For example, a user interface that shows interactions with XR content triggered based on interactions occurring in the space in front of a handheld device or a tripod-mounted device can similarly be implemented with an HMD, where the interactions occur in the space in front of the HMD and the responses to the XR content are displayed via the HMD. Similarly, a user interface that shows interactions with XR content triggered based on movement of a handheld device or a tripod-mounted device relative to a physical environment (e.g., scene 105 or a part of a user's body (e.g., the user's eyes, head, or hands)) can similarly be implemented with an HMD, where the movement is caused by movement of the HMD relative to the physical environment (e.g., scene 105 or a part of a user's body (e.g., the user's eyes, head, or hands)).

In some embodiments, the one or more image sensors 314 are configured to acquire image data corresponding to the user's hands and, optionally, at least a portion of the user's arms (and may be referred to as a hand-tracking camera). In some embodiments, the one or more image sensors 314 are configured to face forward so as to acquire image data corresponding to the scene that the user would see in the absence of the display generation component 120 (e.g., an HMD) (and may be referred to as a scene camera).

[0122] Memory 320 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid-state memory devices. In some embodiments, memory 320 includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state storage devices. Memory 320 optionally includes one or more storage devices located away from one or more processing units 302. Memory 320 includes non-transitory computer-readable storage media. In some embodiments, memory 320 or a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of memory 320 stores the following programs, modules, and data structures, or a subset thereof, including an optional operating system 330 and an XR rendering module 340.

[0123] The operating system 330 includes processes for handling various basic system services and for performing hardware-related tasks. In some embodiments, the XR rendering module 340 is configured to present XR content to the user via one or more XR displays 312.

[0124] In some embodiments, the data acquisition unit 342 is configured to obtain data from at least Figure 1 The controller 110 acquires data (e.g., presentation data, interaction data, sensor data, and / or location data).

[0128] Although the data acquisition unit 342, the XR rendering unit 344, the XR map generation unit 346, and the data transmission unit 348 are shown as residing on a single device (e.g., Figure 1 , but it should be understood that in other embodiments, any combination of the data acquisition unit 342, the XR rendering unit 344, the XR map generation unit 346, and the data sending unit 348 may be located in a separate computing device.

[0129] also, Figure 3 It serves more as a functional description of various features that may be present in a particular embodiment, rather than as a structural schematic diagram of the embodiments described herein. As one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, items shown separately may be combined, and some items may be separated. For example, Figure 3 Some functional modules shown separately in the figure may be implemented in a single module, and the various functions of a single functional block may be implemented by one or more functional blocks in various embodiments. The actual number of modules and the division of specific functions and how features are distributed among them will vary depending on the specific implementation and, in some embodiments, will depend in part on the specific combination of hardware, software, and / or firmware selected for a particular implementation.

[0130] Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of an example embodiment of the hand tracking device 140. In some embodiments, the hand tracking device 140 ( Figure 1 ) is controlled by the hand tracking unit 244 ( Figure 2 ) to track the position / location of one or more parts of a user's hand, and / or one or more parts of a user's hand relative to Figure 1The hand tracking device 140 is configured to monitor movement of the scene 105 relative to the user's surroundings (e.g., relative to a portion of the physical environment surrounding the user, relative to the display generation component 120, or relative to a portion of the user (e.g., the user's face, eyes, or head), and / or relative to a coordinate system defined relative to the user's hands). In some embodiments, the hand tracking device 140 is part of the display generation component 120 (e.g., embedded in or attached to a head-mounted device). In some embodiments, the hand tracking device 140 is separate from the display generation component 120 (e.g., located in a separate housing or attached to a separate physical support structure).

[0131] In some embodiments, the hand tracking device 140 includes an image sensor 404 (e.g., one or more IR cameras, 3D cameras, depth cameras, and / or color cameras) that captures three-dimensional scene information, including at least a human user's hand 406. The image sensor 404 captures images of the hand at a sufficient resolution to enable the fingers and their corresponding positions to be distinguished. The image sensor 404 typically captures images of other parts of the user's body, or may also capture images of all parts of the body, and may have zoom capabilities or specialized sensors with increased magnification to capture images of the hand at a desired resolution. In some embodiments, the image sensor 404 also captures 2D color video images of the hand 406 and other elements of the scene. In some embodiments, the image sensor 404 is used in conjunction with other image sensors to capture the physical environment of the scene 105, or serves as an image sensor for capturing the physical environment of the scene 105. In some embodiments, the image sensor is positioned relative to the user or the user's environment in such a way that the field of view of the image sensor 404, or a portion thereof, is used to define an interaction space in which hand movements captured by the image sensor are treated as input to the controller 110.

[0132] In some embodiments, the image sensor 404 outputs a sequence of frames containing 3D mapping data (and possibly color image data in addition) to the controller 110, which extracts high-level information from the mapping data. This high-level information is typically provided via an application program interface (API) to an application running on the controller, which in turn drives the display generation component 120. For example, a user can interact with the software running on the controller 110 by moving his hand 406 and changing his hand posture.

[0133] In some embodiments, the image sensor 404 projects a speckled pattern onto a scene containing the hand 406 and captures an image of the projected pattern. In some embodiments, the controller 110 calculates the 3D coordinates of points in the scene (including points on the surface of the user's hand) by triangulation based on the lateral offsets of the spots in the pattern. This approach is advantageous because it does not require the user to hold or wear any kind of beacon, sensor, or other marker. The method gives the depth coordinates of a point in the scene relative to a predetermined reference plane at a specific distance from the image sensor 404. In the present disclosure, it is assumed that the image sensor 404 defines an orthogonal set of x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis such that the depth coordinates of a point in the scene correspond to the z component measured by the image sensor. Alternatively, the image sensor 404 (e.g., a hand tracking device) may use other 3D mapping methods based on a single or multiple cameras or other types of sensors, such as stereo imaging or time-of-flight measurement.

[0134] In some embodiments, the hand tracking device 140 captures and processes a time series of depth maps containing the user's hand as the user moves his hand (e.g., the entire hand or one or more fingers). Software running on the image sensor 404 and / or the processor in the controller 110 processes the 3D mapping data to extract image patch descriptors of the hand from these depth maps. The software can match these descriptors with image patch descriptors stored in the database 408 based on a previous learning process to estimate the pose of the hand in each frame. The pose typically includes the 3D positions of the user's hand joints and fingertips.

[0135] The software can also analyze the trajectory of the hand and / or finger over multiple frames in the sequence to recognize gestures. The pose estimation function described herein can be alternated with the motion tracking function so that the image patch-based pose estimation is performed only once every two (or more) frames, and tracking is used to find changes in pose that occur on the remaining frames. The pose, motion, and gesture information is provided to the application running on the controller 110 via the above-mentioned API. The program can, for example, move and modify the image presented on the display generation component 120 in response to the pose and / or gesture information, or perform other functions.

[0136] In some embodiments, gestures include air gestures. An air gesture is a gesture that is detected without the user touching an input element that is part of a device (e.g., computer system 101, one or more input devices 125, and / or hand tracking device 140) (or independent of an input element that is part of the device) and is based on detected movement of a part of the user's body (e.g., head, one or more arms, one or more hands, one or more fingers, and / or one or more legs) through air (including movement of the user's body relative to an absolute reference (e.g., the angle of the user's arm relative to the ground or the distance of the user's hand relative to the ground), movement relative to another part of the user's body (e.g., movement of the user's hand relative to the user's shoulder, movement of one of the user's hands relative to the user's other hand, and / or movement of a user's finger relative to another finger or part of the user's hand), and / or absolute movement of a part of the user's body (e.g., a tap gesture that includes moving a hand in a predetermined posture by a predetermined amount and / or speed, or a shake gesture that includes a predetermined speed or amount of rotation of a part of the user's body).

[0137] In some embodiments, according to some embodiments, the input gestures used in the various examples and embodiments described herein include air gestures for interacting with an XR environment (e.g., a virtual or mixed reality environment) performed by movement of a user's fingers relative to other fingers (or parts of the user's hands). In some embodiments, an air gesture is a gesture that is detected without the user touching an input element that is part of the device (or is independent of an input element that is part of the device) and is based on detected movement of a part of the user's body through the air (including movement of the user's body relative to an absolute reference (e.g., the angle of the user's arm relative to the ground or the distance of the user's hand relative to the ground), movement relative to another part of the user's body (e.g., movement of the user's hand relative to the user's shoulder, movement of one of the user's hands relative to the user's other hand, and / or movement of the user's fingers relative to another finger or part of the user's hand), and / or absolute movement of a part of the user's body (e.g., a tap gesture that includes moving a hand by a predetermined amount and / or speed in a predetermined posture, or a shake gesture that includes a predetermined speed or amount of rotation of a part of the user's body)).

[0138] In some embodiments where the input gesture is an in-air gesture (e.g., in the absence of physical contact with an input device that provides information to the computer system about which user interface element is the target of the user input, such as contact with a user interface element displayed on a touch screen, or contact with a mouse or trackpad to move a cursor to a user interface element), the gesture takes into account the user's attention (e.g., gaze) to determine the target of the user input (e.g., for direct input, as described below). Thus, in specific implementations involving in-air gestures, for example, the input gesture is combined with (e.g., concurrently with) movement of the user's fingers and / or hand to detect attention (e.g., gaze) toward a user interface element to perform a pinch and / or tap input, as described in more detail below.

[0139] In some embodiments, an input gesture directed to a user interface object is performed directly or indirectly with reference to the user interface object. For example, user input is performed directly on the user interface object based on performing input with the user's hand at a location corresponding to the location of the user interface object in the three-dimensional environment (e.g., as determined based on the user's current viewpoint). In some embodiments, upon detecting the user's attention (e.g., gaze) to the user interface object, an input gesture is performed indirectly on the user interface object based on the user's hand being located not at the location corresponding to the location of the user interface object in the three-dimensional environment while the user performs the input gesture. For example, for a direct input gesture, the user can direct the user's input to the user interface object by initiating a gesture at or near a location corresponding to the displayed location of the user interface object (e.g., within 0.5 cm, 1 cm, 5 cm, or a distance between 0 cm and 5 cm measured from the outer edge of the option or the center portion of the option). For an indirect input gesture, the user can direct the user's input to the user interface object by focusing on the user interface object (e.g., by gazing at the user interface object), and while focusing on the option, the user initiates an input gesture (e.g., at any location detectable by the computer system) (e.g., at a location that does not correspond to the displayed location of the user interface object).

[0140] In some embodiments, according to some embodiments, input gestures (e.g., air gestures) used in various examples and embodiments described herein include pinch input and tap input for interacting with a virtual or mixed reality environment. For example, the pinch input and tap input described below are performed as air gestures.

[0141] In some embodiments, a pinch input is part of an air gesture that includes one or more of: a pinch gesture, a long pinch gesture, a pinch and drag gesture, or a double pinch gesture. For example, a pinch gesture as an air gesture includes movement of two or more fingers of a hand to contact each other, i.e., optionally followed by a break in contact with each other immediately (e.g., within 0 seconds to 1 second). A long pinch gesture as an air gesture includes movement of two or more fingers of a hand in contact with each other for at least a threshold amount of time (e.g., at least 1 second) before a break in contact with each other is detected. For example, a long pinch gesture includes the user maintaining a pinch gesture (e.g., in which the two or more fingers are in contact), and the long pinch gesture continues until a break in contact between the two or more fingers is detected. In some embodiments, a double pinch gesture as an air gesture includes two (e.g., more) pinch inputs (e.g., performed by the same hand) that are detected consecutively immediately (e.g., within a predefined time period) with respect to each other. For example, the user performs a first pinch input (e.g., a pinch input or a long pinch input), releases the first pinch input (e.g., interrupts contact between two or more fingers), and performs a second pinch input within a predefined time period (e.g., within 1 second or within 2 seconds) after releasing the first pinch input.

[0142] In some embodiments, a pinch and drag gesture as an air gesture includes a pinch gesture (e.g., a pinch gesture or a long pinch gesture) performed in conjunction with (e.g., following) a drag input that changes the position of the user's hand from a first position (e.g., the start position of the drag) to a second position (e.g., the end position of the drag). In some embodiments, the user maintains the pinch gesture while performing the drag input, and releases the pinch gesture (e.g., opens their two or more fingers) to end the drag gesture (e.g., at the second position). In some embodiments, the pinch input and the drag input are performed by the same hand (e.g., the user pinches two or more fingers to contact each other and moves the same hand to a second position in the air using a drag gesture). In some embodiments, the pinch input is performed by the user's first hand, and the drag input is performed by the user's second hand (e.g., the user's second hand moves from a first position to a second position in the air as the user continues the pinch input with the user's first hand). In some embodiments, an input gesture as an air gesture includes input performed using both of the user's hands (e.g., a pinch and / or tap input). For example, the input gesture includes two (e.g., more) pinch inputs performed in conjunction with each other (e.g., concurrently or within a predefined time period). For example, a first pinch gesture (e.g., a pinch input, a long pinch input, or a pinch and drag input) is performed using a first hand of the user, and a second pinch input is performed using another hand (e.g., a second hand of the user's two hands) in conjunction with the pinch input performed using the first hand. In some embodiments, movement between the user's two hands (e.g., increasing and / or decreasing the distance or relative orientation between the user's two hands) occurs.

[0143] In some embodiments, a tap input performed as an air gesture (e.g., pointing to a user interface element) includes movement of a user's finger toward the user interface element, movement of the user's hand toward the user interface element (optionally, extension of the user's finger toward the user interface element), a downward motion of the user's finger (e.g., mimicking a mouse click motion or a tap on a touch screen), or other predefined movement of the user's hand. In some embodiments, a tap input performed as an air gesture is detected based on movement characteristics of the finger or hand performing the tap gesture movement of the finger or hand, which is a movement of the finger or hand away from the user's viewpoint and / or toward an object that is the target of the tap input, followed by an end of the movement. In some embodiments, the end of the movement is detected based on a change in movement characteristics of the finger or hand performing the tap gesture (e.g., an end of movement away from the user's viewpoint and / or toward an object that is the target of the tap input, a reversal of the direction of movement of the finger or hand, and / or a reversal of the acceleration direction of the movement of the finger or hand).

[0144] In some embodiments, the user's attention is determined to be directed toward a portion of the three-dimensional environment based on detection of a gaze directed toward the portion of the three-dimensional environment (optionally, no other conditions are required). In some embodiments, the user's attention is determined to be directed toward a portion of the three-dimensional environment based on detection of a gaze directed toward the portion of the three-dimensional environment using one or more additional conditions, such as requiring the gaze to be directed toward the portion of the three-dimensional environment for at least a threshold duration (e.g., a dwell duration) and / or requiring the gaze to be directed toward the portion of the three-dimensional environment when the user's viewpoint is within a distance threshold from the portion of the three-dimensional environment, so that the device determines that the user's attention is directed toward the portion of the three-dimensional environment, wherein if one of these additional conditions is not met, the device determines that the attention is not directed toward the portion of the three-dimensional environment to which the gaze is directed (e.g., until the one or more additional conditions are met).

[0145] In some embodiments, the detection of a ready state configuration of a user or a portion of a user is detected by a computer system. The detection of the ready state configuration of a hand is used by the computer system as an indication that the user may be preparing to interact with the computer system using one or more air gesture inputs performed by the hand (e.g., a pinch, tap, pinch and drag, double pinch, long pinch, or other air gestures described herein). For example, the ready state of the hand is determined based on whether the hand has a predetermined hand shape (e.g., a pre-pinch shape with the thumb and one or more fingers extended and spaced apart in preparation for a pinch or grab gesture, or a pre-tap with one or more fingers extended and the palm facing away from the user), based on whether the hand is in a predetermined position relative to the user's viewpoint (e.g., below the user's head and above the user's waist and extending at least 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, 30 cm, or 50 cm from the body), and / or based on whether the hand has moved in a particular manner (e.g., toward an area in front of the user above the user's waist and below the user's head, or away from the user's body or legs). In some embodiments, the ready state is used to determine whether an interactive element of a user interface responds to attention (e.g., gaze) input.

[0146] In some embodiments, the software may be downloaded to the controller 110 in electronic form, for example, over a network, or may alternatively be provided on tangible, non-transitory media such as optical, magnetic, or electronic memory media. In some embodiments, the database 408 is also stored in memory associated with the controller 110. Alternatively or in addition, some or all of the described functions of the computer may be implemented in dedicated hardware, such as a custom or semi-custom integrated circuit or a programmable digital signal processor (DSP). Although in Figure 4, but some or all of the processing functions of the controller may be performed by a suitable microprocessor and software or by dedicated circuitry within the housing of the image sensor 404 (e.g., a hand tracking device) or other device associated with the image sensor 404. In some embodiments, at least some of these processing functions may be performed by a suitable processor integrated with the display generation component 120 (e.g., in a television receiver, handheld device, or head-mounted device) or integrated with any other suitable computerized device (such as a game console or media player). The sensing functions of the image sensor 404 may also be integrated into a computer or other computerized device to be controlled by the sensor output.

[0147] Figure 4 Also included is a schematic diagram of a depth map 410 captured by the image sensor 404 according to some embodiments. As described above, the depth map includes a matrix of pixels with corresponding depth values. Pixels 412 corresponding to the hand 406 have been segmented from the background and wrist in the map. The brightness of each pixel within the depth map 410 is inversely proportional to its depth value (i.e., the measured z distance from the image sensor 404), where shades of gray become darker with increasing depth. The controller 110 processes these depth values ​​in order to identify and segment components of the image (i.e., a group of adjacent pixels) that have characteristics of a human hand. These characteristics may include, for example, overall size, shape, and motion from frame to frame in the depth map sequence.

[0148] Figure 4 Also schematically illustrated is a hand skeleton 414 that the controller 110 ultimately extracts from the depth map 410 of the hand 406 according to some embodiments. Figure 4 , a hand skeleton 414 is superimposed on a hand background 416 that has been segmented from the original depth map. In some embodiments, key feature points of the hand and, optionally, on the wrist or arm connected to the hand (e.g., points corresponding to the knuckles, finger tips, center of the palm, and / or the end of the hand connected to the wrist) are identified and positioned on the hand skeleton 414. In some embodiments, the controller 110 uses the position and movement of these key feature points over multiple image frames to determine a gesture performed by the hand or the current state of the hand according to some embodiments.

[0149] Figure 5 The eye tracking device 130 ( Figure 1 ). In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is composed of an eye tracking unit 243 ( Figure 2) controls to track the position and movement of the user's gaze relative to the scene 105 or relative to the XR content displayed via the display generation component 120. In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is integrated with the display generation component 120. For example, in some embodiments, when the display generation component 120 is a head-mounted device (such as a headset, helmet, goggles, or glasses) or a handheld device placed in a wearable frame, the head-mounted device includes both components for generating XR content for the user to view and components for tracking the user's gaze relative to the XR content. In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is separate from the display generation component 120. For example, when the display generation component is a handheld device or an XR room, the eye tracking device 130 is optionally a device separate from the handheld device or the XR room. In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is a head-mounted device or a part of the head-mounted device. In some embodiments, the head-mounted eye tracking device 130 is optionally used in conjunction with a display generation component that is also head-mounted or a display generation component that is not head-mounted. In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is not a head-mounted device and is optionally used in conjunction with a head-mounted display generation component. In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is not a head-mounted device and is optionally part of a non-head-mounted display generation component.

[0150] In some embodiments, the display generation component 120 uses a display mechanism (e.g., a left near-eye display panel and a right near-eye display panel) to display a frame including a left image and a right image in front of the user's eyes, thereby providing the user with a 3D virtual view. For example, the head-mounted display generation component may include a left optical lens and a right optical lens (referred to herein as eye lenses) located between the display and the user's eyes. In some embodiments, the display generation component may include or be coupled to one or more external cameras that capture video of the user's environment for display. In some embodiments, the head-mounted display generation component may have a transparent or translucent display and display virtual objects on the transparent or translucent display, through which the user can directly view the physical environment. In some embodiments, the display generation component projects the virtual objects into the physical environment. The virtual objects may, for example, be projected onto a physical surface or projected as a hologram, so that the individual using the system observes the virtual objects superimposed on the physical environment. In this case, separate display panels and image frames for the left and right eyes may not be required.

[0151] like Figure 5As shown in , in some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 (e.g., a gaze tracking device) includes at least one eye tracking camera (e.g., an infrared (IR) or near infrared (NIR) camera), and an illumination source (e.g., an IR or NIR light source, such as an array or ring of LEDs) that emits light (e.g., IR or NIR light) toward the user's eyes. The eye tracking camera can be pointed at the user's eyes to receive IR or NIR light that the light source reflects directly from the eyes, or alternatively can be pointed at "hot" mirrors located between the user's eyes and the display panel, which reflect IR or NIR light from the eyes to the eye tracking camera while allowing visible light to pass through. The eye tracking device 130 optionally captures images of the user's eyes (e.g., as a video stream captured at 60 to 120 frames per second (fps)), analyzes these images to generate gaze tracking information, and communicates the gaze tracking information to the controller 110. In some embodiments, both eyes of the user are tracked separately by corresponding eye tracking cameras and illumination sources. In some embodiments, only one eye of the user is tracked by corresponding eye tracking camera and illumination source.

[0152] In some embodiments, the eye tracking device 130 is calibrated using a device-specific calibration process to determine the parameters of the eye tracking device for a specific operating environment 100, such as the 3D geometry and parameters of the LED, camera, thermal mirror (if present), eye lens, and display screen. The device-specific calibration process can be performed at a factory or another facility before the AR / VR equipment is delivered to the end user. The device-specific calibration process can be an automatic calibration process or a manual calibration process. According to some embodiments, the user-specific calibration process can include an estimation of eye parameters of a specific user, such as pupil position, fovea position, optical axis, visual axis, eye spacing, etc. According to some embodiments, once the device-specific parameters and user-specific parameters are determined for the eye tracking device 130, a flash-assisted method can be used to process the images captured by the eye tracking camera to determine the current visual axis and the user's gaze point relative to the display.

[0153] like Figure 5As shown in FIG, an eye tracking device 130 (e.g., 130A or 130B) includes an eye lens 520 and a gaze tracking system that includes at least one eye tracking camera 540 (e.g., an infrared (IR) or near infrared (NIR) camera) positioned on the side of the user's face on which eye tracking is performed, and an illumination source 530 (e.g., an IR or NIR light source, such as an array or ring of NIR light emitting diodes (LEDs)) that emits light (e.g., IR or NIR light) toward the user's eye 592. The eye tracking camera 540 may be directed toward a reflector 550 (these reflectors reflect the IR or NIR light from the eye 592 while allowing visible light to pass) positioned between the user's eye 592 and a display 510 (e.g., a left display panel or a right display panel of a head-mounted display, or a display and / or projector of a handheld device). Figure 5 ), or alternatively may be directed toward the user's eye 592 to receive reflected IR or NIR light from the eye 592 (e.g., as shown in the top portion of Figure 5 (as shown in the bottom portion of the ).

[0154] In some embodiments, the controller 110 renders AR or VR frames 562 (e.g., left and right frames for left and right display panels) and provides the frames 562 to the display 510. The controller 110 uses the gaze tracking input 542 from the eye tracking camera 540 for various purposes, such as for processing the frames 562 for display. The controller 110 optionally estimates the user's gaze point on the display 510 based on the gaze tracking input 542 obtained from the eye tracking camera 540 using a flash-assisted method or other suitable method. The gaze point estimated based on the gaze tracking input 542 is optionally used to determine the direction the user is currently looking.

[0155] The following describes several possible use cases for the user's current gaze direction and is not intended to be limiting. As an example use case, the controller 110 may render virtual content differently based on the determined direction of the user's gaze. For example, the controller 110 may generate virtual content at a higher resolution in the foveal region determined based on the user's current gaze direction than in the peripheral region. As another example, the controller may position or move virtual content within the view based at least in part on the user's current gaze direction. As another example, the controller may display specific virtual content within the view based at least in part on the user's current gaze direction. As another example use case in an AR application, the controller 110 may direct an external camera used to capture the physical environment of an XR experience to focus in the determined direction. The external camera's autofocus mechanism may then focus on an object or surface in the environment on the display 510 that the user is currently looking at. As another example use case, the eye lens 520 may be a focusable lens, and the controller may use gaze tracking information to adjust the focus of the eye lens 520 so that the virtual object the user is currently looking at has the appropriate vergence to match the convergence of the user's eye 592. The controller 110 can use the gaze tracking information to guide the eye lens 520 to adjust the focus so that nearby objects that the user is looking at appear at the correct distance.

[0156] In some embodiments, the eye tracking device is part of a head-mounted device that includes a display (e.g., display 510), two eye lenses (e.g., eye lenses 520), an eye tracking camera (e.g., eye tracking camera 540), and a light source (e.g., light source 530 (e.g., IR or NIR LED)). The light source emits light (e.g., IR or NIR light) toward the user's eyes 592. In some embodiments, the light sources can be arranged in a ring or circle around each of the lenses, such as Figure 5 In some embodiments, for example, eight light sources 530 (e.g., LEDs) are arranged around each lens 520. However, more or fewer light sources 530 can be used, and other arrangements and positions of the light sources 530 can be used.

[0157] In some embodiments, the display 510 emits light in the visible range and does not emit light in the IR or NIR range, and therefore does not introduce noise into the gaze tracking system. It should be noted that the positions and angles of the eye tracking cameras 540 are given by way of example and are not intended to be limiting. In some embodiments, a single eye tracking camera 540 is located on each side of the user's face. In some embodiments, two or more NIR cameras 540 may be used on each side of the user's face. In some embodiments, a camera 540 with a wider field of view (FOV) and a camera 540 with a narrower FOV may be used on each side of the user's face. In some embodiments, a camera 540 operating at one wavelength (e.g., 850 nm) and a camera 540 operating at a different wavelength (e.g., 940 nm) may be used on each side of the user's face.

[0158] like Figure 5 The embodiments of the gaze tracking system illustrated in the can be used, for example, in computer-generated reality, virtual reality and / or mixed reality applications to provide a computer-generated reality, virtual reality, augmented reality and / or augmented virtual experience to a user.

[0159] Figure 6 A flash-assisted gaze tracking pipeline according to some embodiments is illustrated. In some embodiments, the gaze tracking pipeline is implemented by a flash-assisted gaze tracking system (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 5 The flash-assisted gaze tracking system can maintain a tracking state. Initially, the tracking state is off or "no." When in the tracking state, the flash-assisted gaze tracking system uses previous information from previous frames when analyzing the current frame to track the pupil outline and glint in the current frame. When not in the tracking state, the flash-assisted gaze tracking system attempts to detect the pupil and glint in the current frame, and if successful, initializes the tracking state to "yes" and continues to the next frame in the tracking state.

[0160] like Figure 6 As shown in , the gaze tracking camera can capture left and right images of the user's left and right eyes. The captured images are then input to the gaze tracking pipeline for processing starting at 610. As indicated by the arrow returning to element 600, the gaze tracking system can continue to capture images of the user's eyes at a rate of, for example, 60 to 120 frames per second. In some embodiments, each set of captured images can be input to the pipeline for processing. However, in some embodiments or under some conditions, not all captured frames are processed by the pipeline.

[0161] At 610, for the currently captured image, if the tracking status is yes, the method proceeds to element 640. At 610, if the tracking status is no, the image is analyzed to detect the user's pupil and glint in the image, as indicated at 620. At 630, if the pupil and glint are successfully detected, the method proceeds to element 640. Otherwise, the method returns to element 610 to process the next image of the user's eye.

[0162] At 640, if proceeding from element 610, the current frame is analyzed to track the pupil and glint based in part on previous information from the previous frame. At 640, if proceeding from element 630, the tracking state is initialized based on the pupil and glint detected in the current frame. The processing result at element 640 is checked to verify that the tracking or detection result can be trusted. For example, the result can be checked to determine whether the pupil and a sufficient number of glints were successfully tracked or detected in the current frame to perform gaze estimation. At 650, if the result is not likely to be trusted, at element 660, the tracking state is set to no, and the method returns to element 610 to process the next image of the user's eye. At 650, if the result is trustworthy, the method proceeds to element 670. At 670, the tracking state is set to "yes" (if not already "yes"), and the pupil and glint information is passed to element 680 to estimate the user's gaze point.

[0163] Figure 6 This is intended to be used as an example of an eye tracking technology that may be used for a particular implementation. As one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize, according to various embodiments, other eye tracking technologies currently existing or developed in the future may be used in place of or in combination with the flash-assisted eye tracking technology described herein in a computer system 101 for providing an XR experience to a user.

[0165] User interface and associated processes

[0166] Attention is now turned to embodiments of a user interface ("UI") and associated processes that may be implemented on a computer system (such as a portable multifunction device or a head-mounted device) in communication with one or more display generating components and (optionally) one or more audio output devices.

[0167] 7A to 7T Examples of generating and / or displaying a representation of a user are illustrated. Figure 8 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method 800 for providing guidance to a user during a process for generating a representation of the user. Figure 9 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method 900 for displaying a preview of a representation of a user. Figure 10 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method 1000 for providing guidance to a user prior to a process for generating a representation of the user. Figure 11A and Figure 11B is a flow chart of an exemplary method 1100 for providing guidance to a user for aligning a body part of the user with a device. Figure 12 is a flow chart of an exemplary method 1200 for providing guidance to a user for making a facial expression. Figure 13 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method 1300 for outputting audio guidance during a process for generating a representation of a user. 7A to 7T The user interface in is used to illustrate the process described below, including Figures 8 to 13 in the process.

[0168] 7A to 7T Examples of capturing information used to generate a representation of a user and / or examples of displaying a representation of the user are illustrated. In some embodiments, the representation of the user is displayed and / or otherwise used to communicate during a real-time communication session. In some embodiments, the real-time communication session includes real-time communication between a user of a computer system and a second user associated with a second computer system different from the computer system, and the real-time communication session includes displaying and / or otherwise communicating the user's facial and / or body expressions to the second user via the computer system and / or the second computer system, the user's facial and / or body expressions being achieved via the user's representation. In some embodiments, the real-time communication session includes displaying the user's representation and / or outputting audio corresponding to the user's speech in real time. In some embodiments, the computer system and the second computer system communicate with each other (e.g., wirelessly and / or by wired communication) so that information indicating the user's representation and / or audio corresponding to the user's speech can be sent between each other. In some embodiments, the real-time communication session includes displaying the user's representation (and optionally, the second user's representation) in an extended reality environment via display devices of the computer system and the second computer system.

[0169] Although 7A to 7TThe computer system 700 is illustrated as a watch, but in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is a head-mounted device (HMD). The HMD is configured to be worn on the head 708b of the user 708 and includes a first display on and / or in an inner portion of the HMD. When the user 708 wears the HMD on the head 708b of the user 708, the first display is visible to the user 708. For example, when placed on the head 708b of the user 708, the HMD at least partially covers the eyes of the user 708, so that the first display is positioned above and / or in front of the eyes of the user 708. In some embodiments, the first display is configured to display an extended reality environment during a real-time communication session in which the user of the HMD is participating. In some embodiments, the HMD also includes a second display positioned on and / or in an outer portion of the HMD. In some embodiments, when the HMD is placed on the head 708b of the user 708, the second display is not visible to the user 708. In some embodiments, the first display of the HMD is configured to display one or more tutorial instructions (e.g., tutorial instructions 702 and / or 724) regarding a process for capturing information about the user 708 and / or display one or more prompts (e.g., prompt 732 and / or other prompts) instructing the user 708 to remove the HMD from the head 708b of the user 708. The second display of the HMD displays one or more visual instructions (e.g., prompts 744 and / or 766) to provide guidance to the user 708 for using the HMD to capture information about the user 708 for generating a representation of the user (e.g., representation 784).

[0170] Figure 7A The computer system 700 (eg, a watch and / or smartwatch) is illustrated as displaying a tutorial indication 702 on a display 704 of the computer system 700. Additionally, Figure 7A The physical environment 706 of a user 708 who is using and / or associated with the computer system 700 is shown. Figure 7A 7 . In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is a wearable device that is configured to be worn on the body of the user 708 (e.g., on the wrist 708a of the user 708 and / or on the head 708b of the user 708). In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is a headset, a helmet, goggles, glasses, or a handheld device placed in a wearable frame. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to be used primarily when worn on the body of the user 708, but the computer system 700 can also be used when the computer system 700 is removed from the body of the user 708 (e.g., to interact with the user 708 and / or to capture information).

[0171] Figure 7A A first portion 710 of a computer system 700 (e.g., a first face and / or first side, front side, and / or interior portion of a head mounted device (HMD)) is illustrated, the first portion including a display 704 and a sensor 712 (e.g., an image sensor, such as a camera). When the computer system 700 is worn on a wrist 708a of a user 708 (or another part of the user's 708 body, such as a head 708b and / or face 708c), the first portion 710 of the computer system 700 is visible and / or not blocked by a part of the user's 708 body. In other words, the first portion 710 of the computer system 700 is configured to be positioned so that when the computer system 700 is positioned on the wrist 708a of the user 708 (or another part of the body of the user 708, such as the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708), the display 704 is visible to the user 708 (e.g., the display 704 faces a direction opposite to the wrist 708a and / or the display 704 is positioned above and / or in front of the eyes of the user 708). As described below, the computer system 700 also includes a second portion 714 (e.g., a second face and / or second side, back side, and / or outer portion of the HMD) that is visible to the user 708. Figure 7D When the computer system 700 is worn on the wrist 708a of the user 708 (or another part of the user's 708 body, such as the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708), the second portion 714 of the computer system 700 is blocked by (e.g., rests on, contacts, and / or is otherwise positioned near) the wrist 708a of the user 708 (e.g., when the HMD is placed on the head 708b of the user 708, the second portion 714 of the HMD is not visible to the user because the first portion 710 covers and / or is in front of the user's 708 eyes). In other words, the second portion 714 of the computer system 700 is positioned so that when the computer system 700 is worn on the wrist 708a of the user 708, the surface of the second portion 714 faces in a direction toward the wrist 708a of the user 708 (e.g., away from the face 708c of the user 708).

[0172] exist Figure 7A7 , computer system 700 is worn on the body of user 708 (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c) and computer system 700 is displaying tutorial indication 702 on display 704. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays tutorial indication 702 prior to a process for capturing information about user 708 (e.g., one or more physical characteristics of user 708) that is used to generate a representation of user 708, such as a virtual representation of user 708 (e.g., representation 784) and / or an avatar of user 708 that includes visual characteristics based on the captured information about user 708. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays tutorial indication 702 after detecting a request to initiate a process for capturing information about user 708. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays tutorial indication 702 during an initial setup process of computer system 700, wherein the initial setup process of computer system 700 is initiated when computer system 700 is first powered on and / or when user 708 first logs into an account associated with computer system 700. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays tutorial indication 702 after first receiving and / or detecting a request to launch a real-time communication application of computer system 700 (e.g., computer system 700 is configured to use and / or display a representation of user 708 during a real-time communication session associated with the real-time communication application, and computer system 700 displays tutorial indication 702 when a representation of user 708 has not yet been generated).

[0173] Tutorial instructions 702 include text 716 and visual instructions 718 that provide guidance to user 708 in performing the first step of a process for capturing information about user 708. Figure 7A At , text 716 includes written directions and / or instructions for completing a step (e.g., a first step) of a process for capturing information about user 708. For example, text 716 includes directions for pointing a sensor of computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 734) on portion 714 of computer system 700 toward head 708b of user 708 and for moving head 708b to complete that step of the process for capturing information about user 708. Figure 7A At , text 716 provides an explanation of and / or is otherwise associated with the visual indication 718. For example, the visual indication 718 includes a user representation 718a and a device representation 718b demonstrating a first step in a process for capturing information about the user 708. The user representation 718a is demonstrating movement of the head representation 718c relative to the device representation 718b, as shown in FIG. Figure 7A As indicated by arrow 720 .

[0174] In some embodiments, the visual indication 718 is animated, such that the user representation 718a and / or the device representation 718b move over time to demonstrate the movements associated with the steps for capturing information about the user 708. In some embodiments, the visual indication 718 is a recording (e.g., a video) of a person (e.g., represented by the user representation 718a) performing the first step for capturing information about the user 708. In some embodiments, the visual indication 718 is three-dimensional, such that the user representation 718a and / or the device representation 718b appear to extend along three different and / or separate axes relative to the display 704. In some embodiments, the visual indication 718 is displayed within a three-dimensional environment that includes one or more representations of physical objects within the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, the one or more representations of the physical objects within the physical environment 706 are generated based on information captured by one or more sensors of the computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 712, sensor 734, and / or additional sensors of the computer system 700). In some embodiments, one or more representations of physical objects within the physical environment 706 are generated via spatial capture techniques and / or are generated stereoscopically (e.g., based on information captured by one or more sensors of the computer system 700).

[0175] exist Figure 7A At 710, computer system 700 outputs audio 722 while displaying tutorial instructions 702. In some embodiments, audio 722 is based on audio (e.g., audio 748, audio 754, audio 758, audio 762, and / or audio 768) that computer system 700 is configured to output during the step of the process for capturing information about user 708 associated with tutorial instructions 702. Thus, user 708 can listen to audio 722 while computer system 700 displays tutorial instructions 702 and become familiar with the audio prompts and / or other audio feedback that computer system 700 outputs during that step of the process for capturing information about user 708. User 708 can therefore complete that step of the process for capturing information about user 708 more quickly and efficiently by becoming familiar with audio 722. In some embodiments, audio 722 is not based on audio that computer system 700 is configured to output during that step of the process for capturing information about user 708.

[0176] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD and the display 704 is an internal display of the HMD. In other words, the display 704 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is worn on the head 708b of the user 708 and / or when the first portion 710 covers the eyes of the user 708. In some embodiments, when the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is wearing the HMD on the head 708b of the user 708, the tutorial instructions 702 are displayed on the display 704. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is wearing the computer system 700 based on detecting (e.g., detecting the presence of) a biometric feature of the user 708 (such as eyes or other facial features).

[0177] exist Figure 7B , computer system 700 continues to be worn on the body of user 708 (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c) and computer system 700 is displaying second tutorial indication 724 on display 704. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays second tutorial indication 724 after displaying (e.g., ceasing to display) tutorial indication 702. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays a transition (e.g., a transition animation) between displaying tutorial indication 702 and second tutorial indication 724 to indicate that tutorial indication 702 and second tutorial indication 724 are associated with separate, distinct steps of a process for capturing information about user 708.

[0178] In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays second tutorial indication 724 prior to a process for capturing information about user 708 (e.g., one or more physical characteristics of user 708), the information being used to generate a representation of user 708, such as a virtual representation of user 708 and / or an avatar of user 708, the representation including visual characteristics based on the information captured about user 708. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays second tutorial indication 724 after detecting a request to initiate a process for capturing information about user 708. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays second tutorial indication 724 during an initial setup process of computer system 700, wherein the initial setup process of computer system 700 is initiated when computer system 700 is first powered on and / or when user 708 first logs into an account associated with computer system 700. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the second tutorial indication 724 after first receiving and / or detecting a request to launch a real-time communication application of the computer system 700 (e.g., the computer system 700 is configured to use and / or display a representation of the user 708 during a real-time communication session associated with the real-time communication application, and the computer system 700 displays the second tutorial indication 724 when a representation of the user 708 has not yet been generated).

[0179] exist Figure 7B At , second tutorial instructions 724 include text 726 and visual instructions 728 that provide instructions to user 708 for performing a step (e.g., a second step) of a process for capturing information about user 708 that is different from (e.g., separate and distinct from) the step associated with first tutorial instructions 702 of the process for capturing information about user 708. Text 726 includes written instructions and / or instructions for completing the step of the process for capturing information about user 708. For example, text 726 includes instructions for pointing a sensor of computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 734 and / or one or more additional sensors of computer system 700) on portion 714 of computer system 700 toward user 708's head 708b and for making a facial expression to complete the step of the process for capturing information about user 708. Figure 7B 728. At the same time, text 726 provides an explanation of and / or is otherwise associated with visual indication 728. For example, visual indication 728 includes user representation 728a and device representation 728b demonstrating a second step of a process for capturing information about user 708. User representation 728a is demonstrating a representation of a person making one or more facial expressions (e.g., an open-mouth smile, a closed-mouth smile, and / or a raised-eyebrow expression).

[0180] In some embodiments, the visual indication 728 is animated, such that the user representation 728a and / or the device representation 728b move over time to demonstrate one or more actions associated with the steps for capturing information about the user 708. In some embodiments, the visual indication 728 is a recording (e.g., a video) of a person (e.g., represented by the user representation 728a) performing the steps for capturing information about the user 708. In some embodiments, the visual indication 728 is three-dimensional, such that the user representation 728a and / or the device representation 728b appear to extend along three different and / or separate axes relative to the display 704. In some embodiments, the visual indication 728 is displayed within a three-dimensional environment that includes one or more representations of physical objects within the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, the one or more representations of the physical objects within the physical environment 706 are generated based on information captured by one or more sensors of the computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 712, sensor 734, and / or one or more additional sensors of the computer system 700). In some embodiments, one or more representations of physical objects within the physical environment 706 are generated via spatial capture techniques and / or are generated stereoscopically (e.g., based on information captured by one or more sensors of the computer system 700).

[0181] exist Figure 7B At 724, the computer system 700 outputs audio 730 while displaying the second tutorial indication 724. In some embodiments, the audio 730 is based on the audio (e.g., audio 772, audio 774, audio 780, and / or audio 782) that the computer system 700 is configured to output during the step of the process for capturing information about the user 708 associated with the second tutorial indication 724. Thus, the user 708 can listen to the audio 730 while the computer system 700 displays the second tutorial indication 724 and become familiar with the audio prompts and / or other audio feedback that the computer system 700 outputs during this step of the process for capturing information about the user 708. The user 708 can thus complete this step of the process for capturing information about the user 708 more quickly and efficiently by becoming familiar with the audio 730. In some embodiments, the audio 730 is not based on the audio that the computer system 700 is configured to output during this step of the process for capturing information about the user 708.

[0182] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD and the display 704 is an internal display of the HMD. In other words, the display 704 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is worn on the head 708b of the user 708 and the portion 710 covers the eyes of the user 708. In some embodiments, when the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is wearing the HMD on the head 708b of the user 708, the second tutorial indication 724 is displayed on the display 704. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is wearing the computer system 700 based on detecting (e.g., detecting the presence of) a biometric feature of the user 708 (such as eyes or other facial features).

[0183] exist Figure 7C At , computer system 700 displays prompt 732 after displaying tutorial indication 702 and / or second tutorial indication 724 (and optionally, additional tutorial indications associated with additional steps of the process for capturing information about user 708). Prompt 732 includes visual indication 732a (e.g., text and / or an image) that instructs user 708 to remove computer system 700 from user 708's body (e.g., remove computer system 700 from user 708's wrist 708a and / or remove computer system 700 from another part of user 708's body such as user 708's head 708b and / or face 708c) as an action to be performed to initiate and / or begin a registration process (e.g., a setup process) for computer system 700.

[0184] exist Figure 7C At , the computer system 700 has not yet initiated a process that includes capturing information about the user 708 to generate a representation of the user 708 (e.g., a virtual representation, such as an avatar, including an appearance based on the information captured about the user 708). As described below, when the computer system 700 is worn on the body of the user 708 (e.g., when the HMD is worn on the head 708b of the user 708, the sensors 734 (and optionally, additional sensors) of the HMD are not oriented toward corresponding body parts of the user 708), the computer system 700 captures information about the user 708 using sensors 734 (and optionally, additional sensors) that are inaccessible, obscured, and / or otherwise in a position relative to the user 708 that is unsuitable for capturing information about the user 708. Therefore, the computer system 700 outputs a prompt 732 instructing the user 708 to remove the computer system 700 from the body of the user 708 so that the sensors 734 (and optionally, additional sensors) can be effectively used to capture at least a portion of the information about the user 708. Although Figure 7CPrompt 732 is illustrated as being displayed on display 704 of computer system 700, but in some embodiments, prompt 732 includes instructing user 708 to remove audio output (e.g., via speakers of computer system 700 and / or via wireless headphones / earphones) and / or tactile output (e.g., via one or more tactile output devices of computer system 700) from user 708's body (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c).

[0185] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD and the display 704 is an internal display of the HMD. In other words, the display 704 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is worn on the head 708b of the user 708 and / or when the first portion 710 covers the eyes of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 732 includes an instruction to remove the HMD from the head 708b of the user 708 and point a sensor of the computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 734) at the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 732 is displayed on the display 704 when the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is wearing the HMD on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is wearing the computer system 700 based on detecting (e.g., detecting the presence of) a biometric feature of the user 708 (such as eyes or other facial features).

[0186] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 initiates the enrollment process when the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is no longer wearing the computer system 700 on the body of the user 708, such as on the wrist 708a and / or head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is not wearing the computer system 700 based on detecting the absence of a biometric feature of the user 708, such as eyes or other facial features.

[0187] In some embodiments, before or after displaying prompt 732, computer system 700 displays and / or outputs information indicating that information about user 708 captured during at least a portion of the registration process was used to generate a representation of user 708. In some embodiments, computer system 700 displays and / or outputs information regarding use of the representation of user 708 in a real-time communication session with another user associated with an external computer system, which provides context to user 708 regarding the purpose for which the information about user 708 was captured.

[0188] In some embodiments, before or after displaying prompt 732, computer system 700 displays and / or outputs a prompt (e.g., text and / or graphics) that includes an indication related to a condition of physical environment 706 in which user 708 is located. For example, sensor 712 (and / or other sensors) of computer system 700 captures information about physical environment 706, and computer system 700 determines whether the captured information indicates one or more conditions that may affect capturing information about user 708. In some embodiments, conditions that may affect capturing information about user 708 include insufficient lighting (e.g., light emitted from one or more light sources, such as light bulbs, lamps, and / or the sun, does not reach the user in sufficient amounts to enable computer system 700 to effectively capture information about user 708), glaring lighting, an object positioned between computer system 700 and user 708 (e.g., an object obscures an area that one or more sensors of computer system 700 are configured to capture information), and / or an object and / or accessory positioned on a corresponding portion of user 708's body (e.g., glasses, a face covering, a head covering, and / or a hat). In some embodiments, the prompt including an indication related to a condition of the physical environment 706 includes suggestions and / or instructions to the user 708 regarding correcting conditions that may affect the capture of information about the user 708 (e.g., moving to an environment with different lighting conditions, adjusting the lighting conditions, and / or removing an object that obscures a portion of the body of the user 708). In some embodiments, the prompt specifies conditions that negatively impacted the capture (e.g., insufficient lighting, harsh lighting, an object positioned between the computer system 700 and the user 708).

[0189] exist Figure 7D At , user 708 has removed computer system 700 from the body of user 708 (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c) in physical environment 706. In addition, Figure 7DA second portion 714 of the computer system 700 (e.g., a back and / or exterior portion of the HMD) is illustrated as being accessible and / or visible after the user 708 removes the computer system 700 from the body of the user 708 (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c). The second portion 714 of the computer system 700 includes a sensor 734 configured to capture various information about the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 includes one or more sensors in addition to the sensor 734. In some embodiments, the sensors 734 and / or additional sensors on the second portion 714 of the computer system 700 include one or more image sensors (e.g., an IR camera, a 3D camera, a depth camera, a color camera, an RGB camera (e.g., with a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor or a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor), one or more infrared (IR) cameras, and / or one or more event-based cameras), an inertial measurement unit (IMU), an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a thermometer, one or more physiological sensors (e.g., a blood pressure monitor, a heart rate monitor, a blood oxygen sensor, and / or a blood glucose sensor), one or more microphones, one or more speakers, a haptic engine, one or more depth sensors (e.g., structured light, time of flight, and / or two or more cameras that determine depth based on a difference in the perspectives of the two or more cameras), one or more light sensors, one or more tactile sensors, one or more orientation sensors, one or more proximity sensors, one or more position sensors, one or more motion sensors, and / or one or more velocity sensors.

[0190] exist Figure 7D At , the second portion 714 includes a display 736 configured to display visual instructions that provide instructions and / or otherwise guide the user 708 to use the computer system 700 to capture one or more physical characteristics of the user 708 (e.g., via the sensor 734 of the computer system 700 and / or one or more additional sensors). In some embodiments, the display 736 is an external display on an external portion of the HMD so that the display 736 can be viewed by the user 708 when the computer system 700 is not being worn by the user 708 (e.g., worn on the wrist 708a, head 708b, and / or face 708c of the user 708). In some embodiments, the display 736 includes a non-zero amount of curvature. In some embodiments, the display 736 is a lenticular display configured to display one or more visual elements with a three-dimensional effect. In some embodiments, the display 736 is not a lenticular display.

[0191] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the computer system 700 has been removed from the body of the user 708 (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c). In response to detecting that the computer system 700 has been removed from the body of the user 708 (e.g., wrist 708a and / or another part of the body, such as head 708b and / or face 708c), the computer system 700 displays a visual guide 738 via the display, such as Figure 7D shown.

[0192] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays a visual guide 738 before the computer system 700 begins capturing information about the user 708. As described below, the visual guide 738 prompts the user to position the body of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700 in a predefined orientation relative to each other. In some embodiments, the predefined orientation of the body of the user 708 and the computer system 700 enables the computer system 700 to capture information about the user 708 (e.g., via the sensor 734 and / or additional sensors). Figure 7D 7 , user 708 holds computer system 700 at position 706a in physical environment 706 (e.g., relative to head 708b and / or face 708c of user 708). When computer system 700 is positioned at position 706a, computer system 700 (and sensor 734) is not pointed at, oriented, and / or positioned near face 708c of user 708. Thus, visual guidance 738 prompts user 708 to move their body and / or move computer system 700 so that face 708c and computer system 700 are aligned with each other in a manner that sensor 734 (and optionally, one or more additional sensors of computer system 700) can capture information about head 708b and / or face 708c of user 708.

[0193] exist Figure 7D, visual guidance 738 includes text 738a, a first positioning indicator 738b, and a second positioning indicator 738c. Text 738a includes written guidance and / or instructions for aligning user 708's head 708b and / or face 708c with computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 734 of computer system 700). For example, text 738a includes guidance for positioning user 708's head 708b so that user 708's head 708b is within a target area and / or within an orientation relative to computer system 700, as indicated by first positioning indicator 738b and / or second positioning indicator 738c. First positioning indicator 738b represents the positioning of user 708's head 708b relative to sensor 734 of computer system 700 in physical environment 706. In some embodiments, the second position indicator 738c represents a target position of the head 708b of the user 708 relative to the sensor 734 of the computer system 700 in the physical environment 706, which target position enables the sensor 734 to capture information about the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708. In some embodiments, the second position indicator 738c represents the position of the sensor 734 in the physical environment 706 such that when the first position indicator 738b and the second position indicator 738c are aligned with each other (e.g., at least partially overlap each other on the display 736), the head 708b of the user 708 is in the target position and / or orientation relative to the sensor 734 and / or the computer system 700.

[0194] In some embodiments, the first positioning indicator 738b and the second positioning indicator 738c are displayed at different simulated depths. For example, the first positioning indicator 738b is displayed at a first depth from the perspective of the user 708, and the second positioning indicator 738c is displayed at a second depth different from the first depth from the perspective of the user 708. In some embodiments, the respective simulated depths of the first positioning indicator 738b and the second positioning indicator 738c are based on the orientation of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 relative to the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700). In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the first positioning indicator 738b and the second positioning indicator 738c at different simulated depths by displaying the first positioning indicator 738b and the second positioning indicator 738c with corresponding sizes, positioning and / or visual effects that create, generate and / or otherwise cause the first positioning indicator 738b and the second positioning indicator 738c to appear as being displayed at corresponding simulated depths.

[0195] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to move the first position indicator 738b and / or the second position indicator 738c on the display 736 with simulated parallax. In other words, the computer system 700 is configured to display the movement of the first position indicator 738b and the second position indicator 738c relative to each other on the display 736 so that the user 708 perceives the displacement of the first position indicator 738b relative to the second position indicator 738c (or vice versa) based on the change in the viewpoint of the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the movement of the first position indicator 738b on the display 736 at a first speed and displays the movement of the second position indicator 738c on the display 736 at a second speed that is different from the first speed, thereby generating the simulated parallax.

[0196] exist Figure 7D At , the computer system 700 detects the position of the head 708b of the user 708 relative to the position of the computer system 700 within the physical environment 706 (via information captured using the sensor 734 and / or one or more additional sensors of the computer system 700). The computer system 700 uses the information about the position of the head 708b of the user 708 to display a first position indicator 738b at the position 740a on the display 736. Figure 7D 740b on the display 736. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the second position indicator 738c at position 740b on the display 736 based on information about the position of the user's 708 head 708b relative to the position of the computer system 700 within the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the second position indicator 738c at position 740b on the display 736 based on information about the position of the user's 708 head 708b within the physical environment 706 relative to the position of the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the second position indicator 738c at position 740b as a default position and does not change the position of the second position indicator 738c from position 740b based on information about the position of the user's 708 head 708b within the physical environment 706 relative to the position of the computer system 700. As the position of the user's 708 head 708b moves within the physical environment 706 relative to the position of the computer system 700, the computer system 700 updates the display of the first position indicator 738b and / or the second position indicator 738c.

[0197] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the visual guide 738 on the display 736 when the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is not wearing the HMD on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the user 708 is not wearing the computer system 700 based on detecting the absence of a biometric feature of the user 708, such as eyes or other facial features.

[0198] exist Figure 7E 7 . In another embodiment, user 708 holds computer system 700 at position 706 b in physical environment 706. Although computer system 700 is positioned at position 706 b (e.g., relative to user 708's head 708 b and / or face 708 c), computer system 700 (and sensor 734) is positioned closer to user 708's head 708 b and / or face 708 c, but still not pointed, oriented, aligned, and / or positioned near user 708's face 708 c. Computer system 700 detects (e.g., via sensor 734) the position of user 708's head 708 b and / or face 708 c within physical environment 706 relative to computer system 700. For example, computer system 700 receives information from sensor 734 (and optionally, one or more additional sensors of computer system 700) regarding the position of user 708 b and / or face 708 c relative to computer system 700 at position 706 b in physical environment 706. Based on the information received from the sensor 734, the computer system 700 displays a first position indicator 738b (e.g., representing the position of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708) at a position 740c that is closer to the position 740b than to the position 740a. Thus, the computer system 700 provides a visual indication of the orientation of the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 relative to each other (e.g., an orientation that enables the sensor 734 to capture information about the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708) relative to the target orientation.

[0199] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 moves the position of the first positioning indicator 738b based on the tilt of the computer system 700 relative to the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 (e.g., from position 740a to position 740c). In some embodiments, as the computer system 700 displays the first positioning indicator 738b moving closer to the position 740b of the second positioning indicator 738c, the computer system 700 adjusts the color of the first positioning indicator 738b. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts the visual effect of the first positioning indicator 738b based on information received from the sensor 734 (and optionally, from one or more additional sensors of the computer system 700). For example, in some embodiments, as the computer system 700 moves the position of the first positioning indicator 738b closer to the position 740b of the second positioning indicator 738c, the computer system 700 reduces the amount of blur, increases the amount of saturation, and / or increases the brightness of the first positioning indicator 738b. In some embodiments, as the computer system 700 moves the position of the first position indicator 738b further away from the position 740b of the second position indicator 738c, the computer system 700 increases the blur amount of the first position indicator 738b, decreases its saturation amount, and / or decreases its brightness. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 moves the position of the first position indicator 738b based on the direction of movement of the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700) relative to the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708, or vice versa. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 moves the position of the first position indicator 738b by an amount based on the amount of movement of the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700) relative to the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708, or vice versa. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts the color of the first positioning indicator 738b based on movement of the computer system 700 relative to the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708, or vice versa, regardless of the direction of movement.

[0200] exist Figure 7E At position 740b, the computer system 700 maintains display of the second position indicator 738c at position 740b to provide a target for the user 708 when positioning the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 relative to each other. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 moves the position of the second position indicator 738c from position 740b (e.g., moves the position of the second position indicator 738c relative to the first position indicator 738b and / or relative to the display 736) based on information received from the sensor 734 and / or one or more additional sensors of the computer system 700.

[0201] exist Figure 7E At , the computer system 700 outputs audio 741 while displaying the visual guide 738 and before detecting that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts the output of the audio (e.g., adjusts one or more properties of the audio (e.g., volume level and / or amount of reverberation)) based on the respective positioning of the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 relative to each other. For example, in some embodiments, as the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 become closer to the target orientation relative to each other, the computer system 700 increases the volume of the output of the audio 741.

[0202] In some embodiments, the audio 741 includes different components and / or portions that facilitate guiding the user 708 to align the respective positions of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 relative to each other. For example, in some embodiments, the audio 741 includes a first portion 741a corresponding to the position of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 in the physical environment 706 relative to the computer system 700 and a second portion 741b corresponding to the position and / or location of the computer system 700 (e.g., or the sensor 734 and / or another sensor of the computer system 700) in the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, both the first portion 741a and the second portion 741b of the audio 741 include a repeating audio effect, such that the first portion 741a and the second portion 741b continuously loop for at least a predetermined amount of time (e.g., until the respective positions of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are aligned with each other and / or are in a target orientation relative to each other). In some embodiments, the first portion 741a includes one or more first notes and the second portion 741b includes one or more second notes, wherein the one or more first notes and the one or more second notes are spaced apart from each other by a harmonically effective amount, such as an integer number of octaves. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts the volume of the first portion 741a and / or the second portion 741b relative to each other based on movement of the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 relative to each other in the physical environment 706.

[0203] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the visual guide 738 is displayed on the display 736, and the computer system 700 displays movement of the first positioning indicator 738b and / or the second positioning indicator 738c based on detecting movement of the user 708 and / or the HMD relative to each other.

[0204] exist Figure 7F 706 . At 706 , user 708 holds computer system 700 at position 706 c in physical environment 706 (e.g., relative to head 708 b and / or face 708 c of user 708). When computer system 700 is positioned at position 706 c, computer system 700 (and sensor 734) is pointed, oriented, aligned, and / or positioned proximate face 708 c of user 708. Computer system 700 detects (e.g., via sensor 734) the position of head 708 b and / or face 708 c of user 708 within physical environment 706 relative to computer system 700. For example, computer system 700 receives information from sensor 734 (and optionally, one or more additional sensors of computer system 700) regarding the position of user's head 708 b and / or face 708 c relative to computer system 700 at position 706 c in physical environment 706. Based on the information received from the sensor 734, the computer system 700 displays a first position indicator 738b (e.g., representing the position of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708) at a position 740d, the first position indicator overlapping at least a portion of the second position indicator 738c at the position 740b. Thus, the computer system 700 provides a visual indication that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented relative to each other in a target orientation (e.g., an orientation that enables the sensor 734 to capture information about the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708).

[0205] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other when the computer system 700 displays the first positioning indicator 738b at the position 740d on the display 736 such that the first positioning indicator 738b at least partially overlaps the second positioning indicator 738c. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other, the computer system 700 outputs confirmation feedback to prompt the user 708 to stop moving their body and / or the computer system 700, and / or maintain the corresponding positioning of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700. Figure 7F At , the confirmation feedback includes audio 742. In some embodiments, the audio 742 includes an audio output including speech confirming that the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are in the target orientation relative to each other. In some embodiments, the audio 742 includes audio having a first tone, pitch, frequency, wavelength, melody, and / or harmony.

[0206] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other, the computer system 700 outputs audio 742 having a first portion 741a, a second portion 741b, and a third portion 742a. ​​In some embodiments, the third portion 742a audibly confirms that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other. In some embodiments, the third portion 742a includes one or more third notes that are spaced apart from the one or more first notes of the first portion 741a and the one or more second notes of the second portion 741b by a harmonically effective amount, such as an integer number of octaves.

[0207] In some embodiments, confirmation feedback includes (e.g., in addition to or in place of audio 742) displaying visual feedback on the display 736, such as a check mark, text, and / or adjusting the appearance of the visual guidance 738 (e.g., animating the visual guidance 738 and / or displaying a flashing animation on the display 736).

[0208] exist Figures 7D to 7FAt , the visual guide 738 includes text 738a, a first positioning indicator 738b, and / or a second positioning indicator 738c. In some embodiments, the visual guide 738 includes an image of the user 708 (e.g., an image based on information captured via the sensor 734) and / or a user interface object of a target and / or frame, the image of the user 708 being configured to be positioned within the target and / or frame when the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are in the target orientation relative to each other.

[0209] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the visual guide 738 is displayed on the display 736, and the computer system 700 displays movement of the first positioning indicator 738b and / or the second positioning indicator 738c based on detecting movement of the user 708 and / or the HMD relative to each other.

[0210] After the computer system 700 determines that the head 708 b, the face 708 c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other, the computer system 700 initiates steps (e.g., a first step) for capturing information about the head 708 b and / or the face 708 c of the user 708, such as Figure 7G shown.

[0211] exist Figure 7G At , the computer system 700 displays, via the display 736, a prompt 744 directing the user 708 to move the head 708b in a predetermined direction within the physical environment 706. The illustrated axes 746a-746c are provided for clarity and are not part of the user interface of the computer system 700. The prompt 744 includes text 744a that includes written directions and / or instructions prompting the user 708 to move the head 708b in a direction to the right of the user 708 along the axis 746a. Figure 7G746a, the prompt 744 includes an arrow 744b that points in a direction to the right of the user 708 (e.g., from the perspective of the user 708 viewing the display 736) along the axis 746a. In some embodiments, the prompt 744 includes other visual elements in addition to or in place of the text 744a and / or arrow 744b. For example, in some embodiments, the prompt 744 includes a representation (e.g., an avatar) of a person moving their head to their right to demonstrate the steps for capturing information about the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 associated with the prompt 744. In some embodiments, the representation of the person moving their head is an animation, a series of images, and / or a video showing the representation of the person moving their head to their right over time.

[0212] exist Figure 7G At 744, the computer system 700 outputs audio 748 to further prompt the user 708 to move their head 708b in a direction to the right of the user 708 in the physical environment 706 along the axis 746a. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 748 so that the user 708 perceives the audio 748 as originating from a specific location within the physical environment 706 (e.g., a location different from the location of the computer system 700), such as by using a head-related transfer function (HRTF) filter and / or crosstalk cancellation techniques. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 748 so that the user 708 perceives the audio 748 as originating from a direction to the right of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700 in the physical environment 706. Thus, the user's 708 attention is drawn to the location in the physical environment 706 associated with the direction in which the prompt 744 instructs the user 708 to move their head 708b. In some embodiments, the audio 748 includes a continuous output of a sound prompting the user 708 to move the head 708b in a direction to the right of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the audio 748 includes audio bursts and / or intermittent output of sounds generated at predetermined time intervals. As described below, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to adjust the audio 748 based on the movement of the user's 708 head 708b and / or face 708c relative to the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700).

[0213] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the respective positions of the computer system 700 are not aligned with each other and / or are not in the position described above. Figures 7D to 7FIn some embodiments, the controller 700 detects that the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are no longer aligned with each other and / or are in the position 706c described above with respect to the target orientation described above (e.g., the computer system 700 is not and / or is no longer in the position 706c relative to the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 in the physical environment 706). Figures 7D to 7F To determine the target orientation, the computer system 700 reduces the volume of the audio 748 and / or stops outputting the audio 748 to signal the user 708 that the head 708b, face 708c, and / or the corresponding positioning of the computer system 700 is not in the proper orientation.

[0214] In some embodiments, the audio 748 includes different components and / or portions that facilitate guiding the user 708 to move their head 708b and / or face 708c relative to the computer system 700. For example, in some embodiments, the audio 748 includes a first portion 748a corresponding to the positioning of the user's 708 head 708b and / or face 708c relative to the computer system 700 in the physical environment 706 and a second portion 748b corresponding to the position and / or location of the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 and / or another sensor of the computer system 700) in the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, both the first portion 748a and the second portion 748b of the audio 748 include a repeating audio effect, such that the first portion 748a and the second portion 748b continuously loop for at least a predetermined amount of time (e.g., until the respective positioning of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are in a target orientation relative to each other). In some embodiments, the first portion 748a includes one or more first notes and the second portion 748b includes one or more second notes, wherein the one or more first notes and the one or more second notes are spaced apart from each other by a harmonically effective amount, such as an integer number of octaves. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts the volume of the first portion 748a and / or the second portion 748b relative to each other based on movement of the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 relative to each other in the physical environment 706.

[0215] As described above, in some embodiments, computer system 700 is an HMD, and display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from display 704. In other words, display 736 is configured to be viewed by user 708 when the HMD is not worn on head 708b of user 708. In some embodiments, prompt 744 is displayed on display 736 of the HMD.

[0216] exist Figure 7H At , computer system 700 detects movement of user 708's head 708b and / or face 708c in a direction to the right of user 708 along axis 746a. Based on the movement of user 708's head 708b and / or face 708c relative to computer system 700, computer system 700 displays prompt 744 and progress indicator 750. Figure 7H At , computer system 700 maintains display of prompt 744 to continue instructing user 708 to further move head 708b in a direction along axis 746a to the right of user 708. Progress indicator 750 provides a visual indication of the amount of progress toward moving user 708's head 708b to a predefined orientation relative to computer system 700 (e.g., a predefined orientation that includes head 708b moving to a position in a direction along axis 746a to the right of user 708).

[0217] exist Figure 7H , progress indicator 750 is displayed on first portion 752a, but not on second portion 752b, of display 736. The size of first portion 752a (e.g., compared to second portion 752b and / or compared to the size of display 736) indicates the amount of progress toward user 708 completing movement of head 708b in the direction associated with prompt 744 (e.g., a direction to the right of user 708 along axis 746a). Figure 7H At , the progress indicator 750 includes a color that is different from the background color, the color of the prompt 744, and / or the color of the second portion 752b of the display 736. For example, the progress indicator 750 is shown at Figure 7H 750 is shown with a first shading to illustrate that the progress indicator 750 includes a color that is different from the background color, the color of the prompt 744, and / or the color of the second portion 752b of the display 736 (e.g., the second portion 752b of the display 736 does not include a shading). In some embodiments, the color of the progress indicator 750 (e.g., the color of the first portion 752a of the display 736) is based on one or more colors of the physical environment 706. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the color of the progress indicator 750 (e.g., the color of the first portion 752a of the display 736) based on information captured by the sensor 734 (and / or other sensors of the computer system 700) indicating one or more colors of one or more physical objects (e.g., walls, floors, ceilings, artwork, and / or physical objects) present in the physical environment 706.

[0218] The computer system 700 is configured to display movement of the progress indicator 750 over time based on detected movement of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 relative to the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 animates the progress indicator 750 such that the size of the progress indicator 750 changes over time (e.g., the first portion 752a of the display 736 increases or decreases relative to the second portion 752b of the display 736) to indicate whether the user 708 should continue moving the head 708b in the current direction of movement, move the head 708b in a different direction, and / or maintain the positioning of the head 708b.

[0219] In some embodiments, the prompt 744 and / or progress indicator 750 includes an image of the user 708 based on information captured by the sensor 734 (and / or other sensors of the computer system 700). For example, in some embodiments, the prompt 744 and / or progress indicator 750 includes an image of the user 708 that enables the user 708 to adjust the positioning of their body and / or the computer system 700 to align the user's 708 head 708b and / or face 708c in a target orientation relative to the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700). In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the image of the user 708 with an offset, skew, and / or shift based on the orientation of the sensor 734 relative to the display 736 of the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 applies adjustments to image data received from the sensor 734 (and / or other sensors of the computer system 700) to display the image of the user 708 with an offset, skew, and / or shift that causes the user 708 to adjust the positioning of the head 708b and / or face 708c relative to the computer system 700. The image of the user 708 displayed with the offset, skew, and / or shift causes the user 708 to move the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 so that the sensor 734 (e.g., the sensing area of ​​the sensor 734) is directed at the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708. In other words, in some embodiments, the sensor 734 is positioned offset and / or at an angle relative to the display 736 so that the computer system 700 adjusts how the image of the user 708 is displayed on the display 736 to prompt the user 708 to tilt the computer system 700 and / or adjust the positioning of the user's 708 head 708b and / or face 708c so that the sensor 734 is directed at the user's 708 head 708b and / or face 708c.

[0220] In some embodiments, the progress indicator 750 includes (in addition to or in lieu of the color occupying the first portion 752a of the display 736) a user interface object that indicates the positioning of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 relative to the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700). For example, in some embodiments, the progress indicator 750 includes a ball and / or sphere displayed at a location on the display 736 to visually indicate the physical positioning of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 relative to the computer system 700 in the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, the progress indicator 750 includes a countdown that begins at a predetermined number and counts down to zero in response to detected movement of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 relative to each other along the axis 746a in a direction to the right of the user 708.

[0221] exist Figure 7HAt 746a, the computer system 700 outputs audio 754 to indicate the amount of progress toward moving the head 708b of the user 708 toward the target orientation relative to the computer system 700 and / or further prompts the user 708 to move the head 708b in a direction to the right of the user 708 in the physical environment 706 along the axis 746a. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 754 so that the user 708 perceives the audio 754 as originating from a specific location within the physical environment 706 (e.g., a location different from the location of the computer system 700), such as by using an HRTF filter and / or crosstalk cancellation technique. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 754 so that the user 708 perceives the audio 754 as originating from a direction to the right of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700 in the physical environment 706. Thus, the user 708's attention is drawn to the location in the physical environment 706 associated with the direction in which the prompt 744 instructs the user 708 to move the head 708b. In some embodiments, audio 754 includes a continuous output of a sound prompting the user 708 to move the head 708b in a direction to the right of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700. In some embodiments, audio 754 includes an audio burst and / or intermittent output of a sound produced at predetermined time intervals. In some embodiments, audio 754 includes different audio attributes compared to audio 748 to indicate that the head 708b of the user 708 has moved relative to the computer system 700 and / or the head 708b of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700 are oriented to the target orientation relative to each other. For example, in some embodiments, audio 754 includes an increased volume and / or a different reverberation amount compared to audio 748 to provide audible feedback that enables the user 708 to confirm that the movement of the head 708b (and / or the computer system 700) is consistent with the movement associated with prompt 744. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to adjust the audio 748 and / or the audio 754 based on movement of the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 relative to the computer system 700 along the axes 746a, 746b, and / or axis 746c. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 reduces the volume of the audio 748 based on detecting movement of the head 708b and / or face 708c along the axes 746b and / or axis 746c because such movement is not in the direction of movement associated with the prompt 744.

In some embodiments, both the first portion 754a and the second portion 754b of the audio 754 include a repeating audio effect, such that the first portion 754a and the second portion 754b continuously loop for at least a predetermined amount of time (e.g., until the respective positioning of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are in a target orientation relative to each other). In some embodiments, the first portion 754a includes one or more first notes and the second portion 754b includes one or more second notes, wherein the one or more first notes and the one or more second notes are spaced apart from each other by a harmonically effective amount, such as an integer number of octaves. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts the volume of the first portion 754a and / or the second portion 754b relative to each other based on movement of the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 relative to each other in the physical environment 706.

For example, the head 708 b and / or face 708 c of the user 708 has moved (e.g., rotated) relative to the computer system 700 within the physical environment 706 (e.g., the positioning of the computer system 700 has been maintained at the position 706 c). Based on detecting the additional movement of the head 708 b and / or face 708 c of the user 708 in the direction along the axis 746 a, the computer system 700 increases the size of the progress indicator 750 so that the progress indicator 750 is displayed on the entire display area of ​​the display 736 (e.g., the progress indicator 750 is displayed on the first portion 752 a and the second portion 752 b of the display 736). In some embodiments, when the computer system 700 detects that the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 has moved in the wrong direction along the axis 746a, has moved along a different axis (e.g., axis 746b and / or axis 746c), and / or has not moved, the computer system 700 accordingly updates the display of the progress indicator 750. For example, in some embodiments, when the computer system 700 detects that the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 has moved in the wrong direction along the axis 746a, the computer system 700 reduces the size of the progress indicator 750 (e.g., reduces the size of the first portion 752a of the display 736 relative to the second portion 752b of the display 736). In some embodiments, when the computer system 700 detects that the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 moves along different axes (e.g., axis 746b and / or axis 746c) and / or does not move along axis 746a, the computer system 700 maintains the size of the progress indicator 750 (e.g., maintains the display of the progress indicator 750, e.g., Figure 7H shown).

[0226] exist Figure 7I At , computer system 700 displays confirmation indicator 756 and does not display prompt 744 (e.g., computer system 700 replaces display of prompt 744 with display of confirmation indicator 756). Confirmation indicator 756 includes a check mark that provides visual confirmation to user 708 that user 708 has moved head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 relative to each other to the target orientation (e.g., user 708 has satisfied performance of the action associated with prompt 744 (e.g., movement of head 708b)).

[0227] exist Figure 7IAt , the computer system 700 outputs audio 758 based on detecting that the user 708 has moved the head 708b, face 708c and / or computer system 700 relative to each other to the target orientation. In some embodiments, the audio 758 includes an audio output that includes a voice confirming that the head 708b, face 708c and / or computer system 700 are in the target orientation relative to each other. In some embodiments, the audio 758 includes audio having a first tone, pitch, frequency, wavelength, melody and / or harmony. The audio 758 is configured to be output by the computer system 700 to provide the user 708 with a non-visual confirmation that the user 708 has completed the steps (e.g., steps associated with the prompt 744) of the process for capturing information about the user 708. Therefore, when the user 708 may not be able to easily view and / or see the display 736 of the computer system 700, the audio 758 enables the user 708 to confirm that the user 708 no longer needs to move the head 708b of the user 708.

[0228] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other, the computer system 700 outputs audio 758 having a first portion 754a, a second portion 754b, and a third portion 758a. In some embodiments, the third portion 758a audibly confirms that the head 708b, the face 708c, and / or the computer system 700 are oriented in the target orientation relative to each other. In some embodiments, the third portion 758a includes one or more third notes that are spaced apart from the one or more first notes of the first portion 754a and the one or more second notes of the second portion 754b by a harmonically effective amount, such as an integer number of octaves.

[0229] In some embodiments, audio 758 is identical to audio 742, such that computer system 700 provides the same audio feedback after completion of different steps of the process for capturing information about user 708. In some embodiments, computer system 700 is configured to output a melodic and / or harmonic sequence of confirmation audio that progresses and / or changes upon completion of subsequent steps of the process for capturing information about user 708. For example, in some embodiments, audio 742 includes a first set of notes, and audio 758 includes a second set of notes, where the second set of notes includes the first set of notes and additional notes that follow the first set of notes harmonically and / or melodically.

[0230] exist Figure 7IAt , computer system 700 outputs tactile feedback 759 based on detecting that user 708 has moved head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 relative to each other to the target orientation. Haptic feedback 759 is configured to be output by computer system 700 to provide non-visual confirmation to user 708 that user 708 has completed steps of the process for capturing information about user 708 (e.g., steps associated with prompt 744). Thus, when user 708 may not be able to easily view and / or see display 736 of computer system 700, tactile feedback 759 enables user 708 to confirm that user 708 no longer needs to move user 708's head 708b.

[0231] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 744, the progress indicator 750, and / or the confirmation indicator 756 are displayed on the display 736 of the HMD.

[0232] exist Figure 7J At , computer system 700 displays confirmation indicator 760 after displaying progress indicator 750 covering the entire display area of ​​display 736. Figure 7J At , the confirmation indicator 760 includes a color different from the color of the progress indicator 750, such as Figure 7J In some embodiments, confirmation indicator 760 comprises a blinking animation output by computer system 700. For example, in some embodiments, confirmation indicator 760 comprises an increased brightness compared to progress indicator 750 and / or is displayed white for a predetermined amount of time to appear as if display 736 is blinking. Confirmation indicator 760 also provides confirmation to user 708 that user 708 has completed a step of the process for capturing information about user 708 and allows user 708 to prepare for the next step of the process for capturing information about user 708.

[0233] exist Figure 7J At , the computer system 700 outputs audio 762. In some embodiments, the audio 762 is the same as the audio 758, and the computer system 700 maintains the output of the audio 758 while displaying the confirmation indicator 760. In some embodiments, the audio 762 is different from the audio 758 and includes one or more different audio properties (e.g., a different volume level and / or a different amount of reverberation) than the audio 758. Figure 7JAt , computer system 700 outputs tactile feedback 764 to further provide non-visual confirmation to user 708 that the current step of the process for capturing information about user 708 has been completed.

[0234] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the confirmation indicator 756 and / or the confirmation indicator 760 are displayed on the display 736 of the HMD.

[0235] After displaying confirmation indicator 760, outputting audio 762, and / or outputting tactile feedback 764, computer system 700 initiates the next step of the process for capturing information about user 708. Figure 7K At , computer system 700 displays prompt 766 instructing user 708 to move head 708b in a predetermined direction within physical environment 706. Prompt 766 includes text 766a that includes written directions and / or instructions prompting user 708 to move head 708b in a direction to the left of user 708 along axis 746a. Figure 7K 746a, the prompt 766 includes an arrow 766b that points in a direction to the left of the user 708 (e.g., from the perspective of the user 708 viewing the display 736) along the axis 746a. In some embodiments, the prompt 766 includes other visual elements in addition to or in place of the text 766a and / or arrow 766b. For example, in some embodiments, the prompt 766 includes a representation (e.g., an avatar) of a person moving their head to their left to demonstrate the steps for capturing information about the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 associated with the prompt 766. In some embodiments, the representation of the person moving their head is an animation, a series of images, and / or a video showing the representation of the person moving their head to their left over time.

[0236] exist Figure 7KAt 746a, the computer system 700 outputs audio 768 to further prompt the user 708 to move his head 708b in a direction to the left of the user 708 in the physical environment 706 along the axis 746a. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 768 so that the user 708 perceives the audio 768 as originating from a specific location within the physical environment 706 (e.g., a location different from the location of the computer system 700), such as by using an HRTF filter and / or crosstalk cancellation technique. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 768 so that the user 708 perceives the audio 768 as originating from a direction to the left of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700 in the physical environment 706. Thus, the user 708's attention is drawn to the location in the physical environment 706 associated with the direction in which the prompt 766 instructs the user 708 to move his head 708b. In some embodiments, the audio 768 includes a continuous output of a sound prompting the user 708 to move his head 708b in a direction to the left of the user 708 and / or the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the audio 768 includes audio bursts and / or intermittent output of sounds generated at predetermined time intervals. As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to adjust the audio 768 based on the movement of the user's 708 head 708b and / or face 708c relative to the computer system 700 (e.g., the sensor 734 of the computer system 700).

[0237] In some embodiments, after the computer system 700 detects movement of the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 in a direction to the left of the user 708 along the axis 746a such that the head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 are in the target orientation relative to each other, the computer system 700 displays additional prompts that guide the user 708 through additional steps of the process for capturing information about the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays and / or outputs prompts that guide the user 708 to move the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708 along the second axis 746b and / or the third axis 746c so that the computer system 700 can capture additional information about the head 708b and / or face 708c of the user 708. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays and / or outputs one or more prompts to instruct the user 708 to move their head 708b and / or face 708c in an upward direction (e.g., along axis 746b), a downward direction (e.g., along axis 746b), a forward direction (e.g., along axis 746c), and / or a backward direction (e.g., along axis 746c). In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays and / or outputs one or more prompts instructing the user 708 to move their head 708b and / or face 708c in three or more directions relative to the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs audio feedback based on the movement of the user's head 708b and / or face 708c along different axes and / or in different directions relative to the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts one or more audio properties of the audio feedback as the head 708b and / or face 708c moves along different axes and / or in different directions relative to the computer system 700 toward one or more target orientations relative to the computer system 700.

[0238] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 766 is displayed on the display 736 of the HMD.

[0239] After computer system 700 displays prompt 766 (and optionally, one or more additional prompts) and determines that the respective positioning of head 708b, face 708c, and / or computer system 700 is in the target orientation relative to one another, computer system 700 initiates the next step of the process for capturing information about user 708. For example, Figure 7LAt , computer system 700 displays prompt 770 directing user 708 to perform one or more actions associated with another step of the process for capturing information about user 708. For example, at Figure 7L At , the steps of the process for capturing information about user 708 include capturing facial expressions of user 708 .

[0240] exist Figure 7L At 770, prompt 770 includes text 770a and a countdown 770b. The text 770a provides visual, written instructions to user 708 for performing one or more facial expressions, allowing computer system 700 to capture additional information about user 708's face 708c. In some embodiments, the text 770a of prompt 770 includes general instructions for performing one or more facial expressions, wherein the general instructions do not prompt user 708 to perform a specific facial expression. In some embodiments, the text 770a of prompt 770 includes instructions for user 708 to perform one or more specific and / or particular facial expressions, such as a closed-mouth smile, an open-mouth smile, and / or a raised eyebrow expression.

[0241] exist Figure 7L At 770, the prompt 770 includes a countdown 770b that provides an indication of the time at which the computer system 700 (e.g., sensor 734) is configured to begin capturing information about the facial features of the user 708 (e.g., one or more physical characteristics of the face 708c). In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to animate the countdown 770b so that the appearance of the countdown 770b changes over time. For example, the computer system 700 changes the appearance of the countdown 770b to count down from a predetermined time (e.g., six seconds) to zero remaining time. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 adjusts and / or updates the appearance of the visual indicator 770c of the countdown 770b to increase and / or decrease the amount of fill when the countdown 770b counts down to zero remaining time. The countdown 770b enables the user 708 to prepare a facial expression before the computer system 700 begins capturing information about the face 708c of the user 708. Thus, the computer system 700 may capture information about the face 708c of the user 708 more quickly and efficiently, thereby reducing battery usage.

[0242] exist Figure 7LAt 770, the computer system 700 outputs audio 772 while displaying the prompt 770. In some embodiments, the audio 772 includes one or more audio attributes that instruct the user 708 to make one or more facial expressions. In some embodiments, the audio 772 includes a voice with instructions for the user 708 to make one or more facial expressions and / or to make a specific predetermined facial expression. In some embodiments, the audio 772 includes an audio burst that occurs when the countdown 770b counts down from a predetermined amount of time to zero remaining time.

[0243] As described above, in some embodiments, computer system 700 is an HMD, and display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from display 704. In other words, display 736 is configured to be viewed by user 708 when the HMD is not worn on head 708b of user 708. In some embodiments, prompt 770 is displayed on display 736 of the HMD.

[0244] exist Figure 7M At 708 , the computer system 700 stops displaying the countdown 770 b when the countdown 770 b reaches a time remaining of zero and displays a progress bar 770 d on the prompt 770 . The progress bar 770 d provides the user 708 with a visual indication of the amount of progress being made toward completing the capture of information regarding the facial features of the user 708 (e.g., one or more physical characteristics of the face 708 c). The computer system 700 is configured to adjust and / or update the appearance of the progress bar 770 d based on whether the facial features of the user 708 (e.g., facial expressions made by the user 708 in the physical environment 706 ) correspond to and / or match one or more predetermined facial expressions.

[0245] exist Figure 7M At 774, the computer system 700 outputs audio 774. In some embodiments, the audio 774 is the same as the audio 772. In some embodiments, the audio 774 includes sounds with voices instructing the user 708 to make one or more predetermined and / or specific facial expressions. In some embodiments, the audio 774 includes sounds that indicate the type of facial expression that the user 708 is to make. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs audio 774 that includes laughter, thereby prompting the user 708 to smile and / or laugh.

[0246] exist Figure 7M At , the computer system 700 does not detect that the facial features of the user 708 (e.g., one or more physical characteristics of the face 708c) correspond to and / or match the one or more facial expressions. Therefore, the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as not filled and / or indicating that there is no progress towards completing the one or more facial expressions (e.g., as shown in FIG. Figure 7M(as indicated by the absence of shading in the progress bar 770d at ). Figure 7M At 708 , user 708 adjusts and / or moves face 708 c such that user 708 is making a first facial expression in physical environment 706 (eg, user 708 has opened mouth 708 d and / or is making an open-mouth facial expression (eg, an open-mouth smile)).

[0247] In response to detecting that user 708 makes a first facial expression in physical environment 706 (e.g., based on information received from sensor 734 and / or another sensor of computer system 700), computer system 700 displays (e.g., updates its display of) progress bar 770d having a first fill amount 770e, as shown. Figure 7N As shown. Figure 7N At , the first fill amount 770e comprises a first color, as indicated by the first shading. Additionally, at Figure 7N At 706, the first fill amount 770e is included in the first portion 776a of the progress bar 770d, but is not included in the second portion 776b of the progress bar 770d. In some embodiments, the first fill amount 770e of the progress bar 770d is an amount corresponding to the completion of the first facial expression of the one or more facial expressions. In some embodiments, when the computer system 700 detects the user 708 making the first facial expression in the physical environment 706, the computer system 700 animates and / or otherwise displays that the progress bar 770d is filling.

[0248] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to fill the progress bar 770d at different rates (e.g., increase the fill amount of the progress bar 770d over different amounts of time) based on whether the first facial expression being made by the user 708 in the physical environment 706 corresponds to and / or matches a predetermined facial expression. For example, in some embodiments, when the first facial expression being made by the user 708 in the physical environment 706 corresponds to and / or matches a first predetermined facial expression (e.g., a first facial expression from the one or more facial expressions), the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as filling at a first rate. In some embodiments, when the first facial expression being made by the user 708 in the physical environment 706 does not correspond to and / or match a predetermined facial expression (e.g., at least one facial expression from the one or more facial expressions), the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as filling at a second rate (e.g., a non-zero fill rate) that is slower than the first rate. The illustrated axes 778a-778b are provided for clarity and are not part of the user interface of the computer system 700. In some embodiments, the progress bar 770d extends along an axis 778a that is based on the viewpoint and / or perspective from which the user 708 is viewing the display 736. Thus, in some embodiments, the progress bar 770d includes one or more portions that are not visible to the user because the one or more portions extend along the axis 778a. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as filling the one or more portions that extend along the axis 778a at a slower rate than filling one or more additional portions of the progress bar 770d that do not extend along the axis 778a (e.g., extend along the axis 778b). In other words, the portion of the progress bar 770d that extends along the axis 778b is displayed as filling at a faster rate than the one or more portions that extend along the axis 778a.

[0249] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 770 and / or the progress bar 770d are displayed on the display 736 of the HMD.

[0250] exist Figure 7NAt 710, the computer system 700 outputs audio 780. In some embodiments, the audio 780 is the same as the audio 772 and / or the audio 774. In some embodiments, the audio 780 includes sounds with voices instructing the user 708 to make one or more predetermined and / or specific facial expressions. In some embodiments, the audio 780 includes sounds that indicate the type of facial expression that the user 708 is to make. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 outputs the audio 780 including the sound of laughter, thereby prompting the user 708 to smile and / or laugh.

[0251] exist Figure 7N At 705 , the computer system 700 detects (e.g., via the sensor 734 and / or one or more additional sensors of the computer system 700) that the user 708 is performing a second facial expression in the physical environment 706. In response to detecting that the user 708 is performing the second facial expression in the physical environment 706, the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d with a second fill amount 770f (e.g., updates its display) to indicate the amount of progress that the user 708 has made toward completing the one or more facial expressions, as shown. Figure 7O As shown. Figure 7O , the second fill amount 770f comprises the first color, as indicated by the first shading. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to change the fill color within the progress bar 770d as the progress bar 770d fills over time. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as having a fill of the first color when the progress bar comprises the first fill amount 770e, and displays the progress bar 770d as having a fill of the second color when the progress bar comprises the second fill amount 770f and / or a fill amount greater than the second fill amount 770f.

[0252] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 770 and / or the progress bar 770d are displayed on the display 736 of the HMD.

[0253] exist Figure 7O, a second fill amount 770f is included in third portion 776c of progress bar 770d but not in fourth portion 776d of progress bar 770d. Third portion 776c of progress bar 770d is larger than first portion 776a and fourth portion 776d of progress bar 770d is smaller than second portion 776b, thereby indicating that the second facial expression made by user 708 in physical environment 706 is making progress toward completing the one or more facial expressions. In some embodiments, second fill amount 770f of progress bar 770d is an amount corresponding to completion of a first facial expression in the one or more facial expressions and a second facial expression in the one or more facial expressions. In some embodiments, when computer system 700 detects user 708 making the second facial expression in physical environment 706, computer system 700 animates and / or otherwise displays progress bar 770d filling (e.g., from first fill amount 770e to second fill amount 770f).

[0254] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to fill the progress bar 770d at a varying rate based on the facial features detected for the user 708. For example, Figure 7O At , the difference between the second fill amount 770f and the first fill amount 770e is less than the difference between the first fill amount 770e and no fill in the progress bar 770d (e.g., as shown in FIG. Figure 7M ). Thus, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 detects that the second facial expression made by the user 708 in the physical environment 706 does not completely and / or completely correspond to a predetermined facial expression in the one or more facial expressions. Thus, in some embodiments, when the facial expression made by the user 708 does not completely and / or completely correspond to a predetermined facial expression in the one or more facial expressions, the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as having less fill and / or filling at a slower rate.

[0255] exist Figure 7OAt 7:00, the computer system outputs audio 782. In some embodiments, audio 782 is the same as audio 772, audio 774, and / or audio 780. In some embodiments, audio 782 includes a voice with instructions for user 708 to perform one or more predetermined and / or specific facial expressions. In some embodiments, audio 782 includes a voice indicating the type of facial expression that user 708 should perform. For example, in some embodiments, computer system 700 outputs audio 782 that includes laughter, thereby prompting user 708 to smile and / or laugh. In some embodiments, audio 780 includes different audio attributes than audio 772, audio 774, and / or audio 780. For example, in some embodiments, audio 782 includes an increased volume compared to audio 772, audio 774, and / or audio 780 to indicate that user 708 is progressing toward completing the one or more facial expressions. In some embodiments, computer system 700 increases the volume of the audio output while displaying progress bar 770d at a rate proportional to the fill rate of progress bar 770d.

[0256] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to display the progress bar 770d as completely filled (e.g., filling the entire progress bar 770d) based on detecting that the user 708 has made a predetermined number of facial expressions. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as completely filled when a threshold amount of information about one or more physical characteristics of the user 708 has been captured while the user 708 is making facial expressions in the physical environment 706. In some embodiments, when the computer system 700 displays the progress bar 770d as completely filled, the computer system 700 outputs a confirmation audio to provide a non-visual indication to the user 708 that the one or more facial expressions have been detected and / or that one or more physical characteristics of the user's 708 face 708c have been captured. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to end and / or stop the process for capturing information about the user 708 and / or initiate another step of the process for capturing information about the user 708 after displaying the progress bar 770d as completely filled.

[0257] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to end and / or stop the process for capturing information about the user 708 and / or initiate the next step of the process for capturing information about the user 708 even when the progress bar 770d is not displayed as completely filled (e.g., when the computer system 700 has not detected a predetermined number of facial expressions and / or captured a threshold amount of information about one or more physical characteristics of the user). For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 ends and / or stops the process for capturing information about the user 708 and / or initiates the next step of the process for capturing information about the user 708 after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed since the progress bar 770d was first displayed. In other words, the computer system 700 ends and / or continues with the next step of the process for capturing information about the user 708 when the computer system 700 determines that the user 708 is unlikely to complete performing the one or more facial expressions within the predetermined amount of time. As described below, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 provides the user 708 with an option to cause the computer system 700 to re-initiate the steps for capturing information about the facial features of the user 708 after completing the process for capturing information about the user 708.

[0258] As described above, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is an HMD, and the display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from the display 704. In other words, the display 736 is configured to be viewed by the user 708 when the HMD is not worn on the head 708b of the user 708. In some embodiments, the prompt 770 and / or the progress bar 770d are displayed on the display 736 of the HMD.

[0259] exist Figure 7P At , computer system 700 displays a representation 784 of user 708 during and / or after completing the process for capturing information about user 708. In some embodiments, representation 784 includes visual characteristics based on one or more physical characteristics of user 708 captured by computer system 700 (e.g., via sensor 734 and / or additional sensors of computer system 700). For example, at Figure 7P, representation 784 includes a head representation 784b that includes visual characteristics based on one or more physical characteristics of head 708b of user 708 captured by computer system 700 (e.g., captured by computer system 700 when prompt 744, prompt 766, and / or prompt 770 is displayed). Representation 784 includes a facial representation 784c that includes visual characteristics based on one or more physical characteristics of face 708c of user 708 captured by computer system 700 (e.g., captured when prompt 744, prompt 766, and / or prompt 770 is displayed). In other words, computer system 700 is configured to generate representation 784 of user 708 based on one or more physical characteristics of user 708, the one or more physical characteristics being those described above with reference to FIG. 7D to 7O The process for capturing information about user 708 is captured during the description.

[0260] exist Figure 7P At 786 a, the computer system 700 displays a confirm selectable option 786 a and a redo selectable option 786 b when displaying the representation 784 of the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to confirm, set, and / or otherwise enable the representation 784 for use in the real-time communication session in response to detecting user input (e.g., an air gesture, a tap gesture, and / or a press gesture on a hardware input device of the computer system 700) selecting the confirm selectable option 786 a. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to initiate (e.g., re-initiate) a process for capturing information about the user 708 in response to detecting user input (e.g., an air gesture, a tap gesture, and / or a press gesture on a hardware input device of the computer system 700) selecting the redo selectable option 786 b. Thus, computer system 700 enables user 708 to view a preview of representation 784 and determine whether the visual characteristics of representation 784 are acceptable to user 708 (e.g., whether the visual characteristics of representation 784 accurately reflect and / or resemble the physical characteristics of user 708). When user 708 determines that the visual characteristics of representation 784 are unacceptable to user 708, user 708 can cause computer system 700 to capture (e.g., recapture) information about user 708 to generate (e.g., regenerate) representation 784 of user 708 so that representation 784 of user 708 more accurately reflects and / or resembles the appearance of user 708.

[0261] In some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the confirm selectable option 786a and / or the redo selectable option 786b with visual emphasis compared to the representation 784. For example, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the confirm selectable option 786a and / or the redo selectable option 786b so that the confirm selectable option 786a and / or the redo selectable option 786b appear to be visually spaced in front of the representation 784 (e.g., displayed with a perceived depth that is less than the perceived depth of the representation 784). As described above, in some embodiments, the display 736 is a curved display and / or a lenticular display. Thus, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 displays the representation 784, the confirm selectable option 786a, and / or the redo selectable option 786b as appearing to be three-dimensional relative to the perspective from which the user 708 is viewing the display 736. Thus, in some embodiments, the computer system 700 is configured to visually emphasize the confirm selectable option 786a and / or the redo selectable option 786b so that the user 708 can easily determine whether to confirm the appearance of the representation 784 and / or capture additional information about the user 708 to adjust the visual characteristics of the representation 784.

[0262] The computer system 700 is configured to animate and / or move the representation 784 of the user 708 over time so that the user 708 can view different portions of the representation 784 and better determine whether the representation 784 is acceptable to the user 708. In some embodiments, the computer system 700 automatically (e.g., without user input and / or without detecting movement of the computer system 700 and / or user 708 in the physical environment 706) displays the movement of the representation 784 over time. Thus, in some embodiments, the user 708 can view different portions of the representation 784 without moving the computer system 700 and / or providing user input to the computer system.

[0263] exist Figure 7P At , the computer system 700 displays a first portion 788a of the representation 784 of the user 708 based on the detected orientation of the user's 708 head 708b, face 708c, and / or another part of the body relative to the computer system 700. For example, at Figure 7P7 , user 708 holds computer system 700 in front of user 708's face 708 c, while user 708's head 708 b is positioned directly in front of and / or aligned with computer system 700 in physical environment 706. Based on detecting the orientation of user 708's head 708 b, face 708 c, and / or another part of the body relative to computer system 700, computer system 700 displays a first portion 788 a of representation 784 that includes head representation 784 b and face representation 784 c aligned with and / or facing display 736 (e.g., a forward-facing perspective of representation 784).

[0264] As described above, in some embodiments, computer system 700 is an HMD, and display 736 is an external display of the HMD that is distinct and / or separate from display 704. In other words, display 736 is configured to be viewed by user 708 when the HMD is not worn on head 708b of user 708. In some embodiments, representation 784 is displayed on display 736 of the HMD.
