Abstract: Techniques are described for providing location-based information and functionality to people and computing devices in various ways. In at least some situations, the techniques include enabling multiple people in a common geographic area to interact in various ways, such as via devices capable of communications (e.g., cellular telephones, computing devices with wired and/or wireless communications capabilities, etc.). In addition, the techniques include enabling the creation and maintenance of location-based virtual groups of users (also referred to as “clouds”), such as for users of mobile and/or fixed-location devices. Such clouds may enable various types of interactions between group members, and may be temporary and/or mobile.

Abstract: An environmental capture system (ECS) captures image data and depth information in a 360-degree scene. The captured image data and depth information can be used to generate a 360-degree scene. The ECS comprises a frame, a drive train mounted to the frame, and an image capture device coupled to the drive train to capture, while pointed in a first direction, a plurality of images at different exposures in a first field of view (FOV) of the 360-degree scene. The ECS further comprises a depth information capture device coupled to the drive train. The depth information capture device and the image capture device are rotated by the drive train about a first, substantially vertical, axis from the first direction to a second direction. The depth information capture device, while being rotated from the first direction to the second direction, captures depth information for a first portion of the 360-degree scene.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for sharing perspective views of virtual content. In an example method, a virtual object is presented, via a display, to a first user. A first perspective view of the virtual object is determined, wherein the first perspective view is based on a position of the virtual object and a position of the first user. The virtual object is presented, via a display, to a second user, wherein the virtual object is presented to the second user according to the first perspective view. A second perspective view of the virtual object is determined, wherein the second perspective view is based on an input from the first user. The virtual object is presented, via a display, to the second user, wherein presenting the virtual object to the second user comprises presenting a transition from the first perspective view to the second perspective view.

Abstract: A system and method authenticate payment transactions using risk based analysis modeling when multiple payment accounts are identified by input biometric data. An authentication request includes the biometric data associated with a user. Multiple user payment accounts associated with the biometric data are identified. A confidence score is generated for each of the multiple user payment accounts based on context data associated with the payment transaction. The payment account with the highest confidence score is selected. The selected payment account is authenticated for use in processing the payment transaction to ensure payment transactions are performed on the correct payment account.
