Patent ID: 11586283

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a multi-sensor don/doff detection system for an artificial reality device headset. The multi-sensor don/doff detection system can use a combination of a proximity sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and an eye tracking/face tracking (ET/FT) unit to make these determinations. However, when both the ET/FT system and proximity sensor system are active, they can have system coexistence issues. Thus, only one of these systems can be used simultaneously. The multi-sensor don/doff detection system can more accurately identify don events by using input from the proximity sensor and the IMU. The multi-sensor don/doff detection system can also more accurately identify doff events by using input from the IMU and either A) the proximity sensor when the ET/FT system is disabled or B) the ET/FT system when the ET/FT system is enabled.
