Sensor lock feature for mixed reality headsets

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program, which when executed by a computer, configures the computer to:

• detect, when a headset device is in a sensor lock engaged state, using a trusted software module of the headset device, a user presence event;
• transition, using the trusted software module of the headset device, the headset device from the sensor lock engaged state to a sensor lock disengaged state, the transitioning comprising providing power to a privacy sensitive sensor of the headset device and powering on an indicator light of the headset device;
• and
• transition, using the trusted software module of the headset device, the headset device from the sensor lock disengaged state to the sensor lock engaged state, the transitioning comprising removing power from the privacy sensitive sensor of the headset device and powering off the indicator light of the headset device.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of instructions, which when executed by the processor, configure the system to:
• detect, when a headset device is in a sensor lock engaged state, using a trusted software module of the headset device, a user presence event;
• transition, using the trusted software module of the headset device, the headset device from the sensor lock engaged state to a sensor lock disengaged state, the transitioning comprising providing power to a privacy sensitive sensor of the headset device and powering on an indicator light of the headset device;
• and
• transition, using the trusted software module of the headset device, the headset device from the sensor lock disengaged state to the sensor lock engaged state, the transitioning comprising removing power from the privacy sensitive sensor of the headset device and powering off the indicator light of the headset device.
