Temporal gesture recognition for virtual and augmented reality systems

A non-transient computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first signal associated with a first gesture-input of a user at a first time, wherein the first signal is based on first data generated by one or more sensors of a virtual reality (VR) headset or augmented reality (AR) glasses;
• receiving a second signal associated with a second gesture-input of the user at a second time different from the first time, wherein the second signal is based on second data generated by the one or more sensors of the virtual reality (VR) headset or augmented reality (AR) glasses;
• identifying, using at least one processor, based on at least one of the first signal or the second signal and temporal information relating to the first and second times, a user intent associated with at least one of the first gesture-input or the second gesture-input, wherein the user intent is based on a gesture identifier associated with at least one of the first gesture-input or the second gesture-input;
• generating, using at least one processor, a third signal based on the user intent;
• and
• causing, based on the third signal, a task to be performed on the VR headset or the AR glasses.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory non-volatile memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive a first signal associated with a first gesture-input of a user at a first time, wherein the first signal is based on first data generated by one or more sensors of a virtual reality (VR) headset or augmented reality (AR) glasses;
• receive a second signal associated with a second gesture-input of the user at a second time different from the first time, wherein the second signal is based on second data generated by the one or more sensors of the virtual reality (VR) headset or augmented reality (AR) glasses;
• identify, using at least one processor, based on at least one of the first signal or the second signal and temporal information relating to the first and second times, a user intent associated with at least one of the first gesture-input or the second gesture-input, wherein the user intent is based on a gesture identifier associated with at least one of the first gesture-input or the second gesture-input;
• generate, using at least one processor, a third signal based on the user intent;
• and
• cause, based on the third signal, a task to be performed on the VR headset or the AR glasses.
