Multi-modal gesture sequence passcode unlocking apparatus for a head-mounted display

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at a multi-modal unlocking model, one or more electrical signals representative of a user interaction with at least one of a plurality of sensors mounted on a head-mounted display;
• detecting an initiate passcode gesture, indicating a start of a gesture sequence passcode comprising one or more passcode gestures in a series of passcode gestures;
• detecting a first passcode gesture in the series of passcode gestures;
• detecting a physical interaction delimiter between each passcode gesture, wherein the physical interaction delimiter comprises physical contact of a hand of a user with the head-mounted display, and wherein the physical contact comprises one or more taps on the head-mounted display, or a directional contact of the user on a surface of the head-mounted display;
• unlocking a locked feature of the head-mounted display based on the gesture sequence passcode matching a stored gesture sequence passcode;
• and
• in response to the gesture sequence passcode not matching the stored gesture sequence passcode, the locked feature remains locked.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:

• receive, at a multi-modal unlocking model, one or more electrical signals representative of a user interaction with at least one of a plurality of sensors mounted on a head-mounted display;
• detect an initiate passcode gesture, indicating a start of a gesture sequence passcode comprising one or more passcode gestures in a series of passcode gestures;
• detect a first passcode gesture in the series of passcode gestures;
• detect a physical interaction delimiter between each passcode gesture, wherein the physical interaction delimiter comprises physical contact of a hand of the user with the head-mounted display, and wherein the physical contact comprises one or more taps on the head-mounted display, or a directional contact of the user on a surface of the head-mounted display;
• unlock a locked feature of the head-mounted display based on the gesture sequence passcode matching a stored gesture sequence passcode;
• and
• in response to the gesture sequence passcode not matching the stored gesture sequence passcode, the locked feature remains locked.
