Abstract: A method includes determining a customized action routine for a person to carry out in a virtual world, where the person is wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset. Objects associated with events from the routine are presented to the person in a virtual world via the VR headset; and aspects of the person's virtual interaction with the object in the virtual world are rendered on the VR headset. The person's virtual interactions with virtual objects is analyzed and used to determine, in real time, one or more next events for said routine.

Abstract: In a system in which a virtual reality (VR) user interacts with a virtual environment via a VR device, where the VR user is provided a view of the virtual environment via the VR device. A method includes tracking the VR user relative to at least one other user in a real-world environment; extracting an image of the VR user from the real-world environment; at least one other user obtaining information about the virtual environment; and presenting at least one other view corresponding to the VR user's virtual environment. Another view is presented as if seen from the location and/or perspective and/or orientation of another device relative to the VR user in the real environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes obtaining first data, including telemetry data and beatmap synchronization data from a user device such as a virtual reality (VR) headset. The telemetry data relates to actions and/or movements of a person wearing the user device in a real-world environment. The telemetry data and beatmap synchronization data are used to produce one more video segments of a virtual person in a virtual world environment. The video production may take place in the cloud, away from the user device. The video production may include post-production and visual effects. The video production may be higher quality and/or resolution than images displayed in real-time on the user device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes running a training program for a user wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset; and, while running the training program: monitoring activity of the user; presenting video images in a display of the VR headset corresponding to the activity of the user; and based on said monitoring, modifying at least one aspect of said training program.

Abstract: A communication method includes obtaining a first image from a first camera associated with a first device, the first image comprising live view of a first real-world, physical environment; for each particular second device of one or more second devices, obtaining, from the particular second device, a particular second image, the particular second image being based on a real view of a user of the particular second device; creating an augmented image based on (i) the first image, and (ii) each particular second image obtained in (B); and rendering the augmented image on a display associated with the first device.

Abstract: A method of adding caption information to a multi-view three-dimensional (3D) video, wherein the video has a duration, and wherein, at a given time in the duration of the video, a user may view multiple distinct scenes of the video. The method includes (A) associating multiple distinct viewing directions or regions with the multi-view three-dimensional video; and (B) at a particular time in the duration of the video, associating one or more first captions with a first direction or region of the multiple distinct viewing directions or regions, and associating one or more second captions with a second direction or region of the multiple distinct viewing directions or regions, said first direction or region being distinct from the second direction or region.
