Abstract: A computing system can detect the launch of a rider application on computing devices of users of a transport service. The computing system can receive location data indicating the current location of each user, and determine a usage pattern for each user based on historical data corresponding to historical utilization of the transport service by the user. Based on the current location and the usage pattern of the user, the computing system can determine one or more suggested destination locations for the user, and transmit, over the one or more networks, display data to cause the rider application to display a destination accelerator for each of the one or more suggested destination locations. The destination accelerator can be selectable by the user to automatically input a destination location into a transport request for the transport service.

Abstract: An audio device includes a first speaker and a second speaker. A front surface of a membrane of the second speaker faces a rear surface of a membrane of the first speaker. The membrane of the first speaker moves in an opposite direction than the membrane of the second speaker when the audio device outputs audio content. This configuration maintains isobaric pressure for a back volume shared between the first speaker and the second speaker, reducing vibration of the audio device when outputting audio content.

Responsive to the determining that the second position of the headset is greater than the threshold, a menu is provided for display in the interface visible via the headset overlaying the interface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for image editing and sharing in an augmented reality computing environment. An embodiment operates by receiving, from a first user, an edit command indicating a selection of an image from within an augmented reality computing environment. Responsive to the edit command, the image is moved from a first location within the augmented reality computing environment to a second location within the augmented reality computing environment closer to the first user than the first location. One or more edits to the image are received from the first user. The image including the one more edits are returned to the first location upon a completion of the one or more edits.

Abstract: A computing system can receive input data specifying a destination location for a requesting user and determine a guaranteed upfront cost for transporting the requesting user to the specified destination location. The system can cause the computing device of the requesting user to display a ride service selection interface comprising a graphic feature indicating the guaranteed upfront cost for the specified transport option. Based on a user selection of the graphic feature, the computing system can select a driver from the one or more available drivers based, at least in part, on a proximity of the selected driver to the current location of the requesting user, and determine a rendezvous point at which the requesting user can rendezvous with the selected driver.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for an augmented reality contextual menu system. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to open a file from a user. A social media channel associated with the user is identified, wherein the social media channel includes shared media. A graphical social icon representing the social media channel is generated based on the shared media. A plurality of icons, including the graphical social icon, are displayed responsive to the request. A selection of the graphical social icon causes at least a portion of the social media channel to be rendered with a computing workspace.

Abstract: A computing system can implement pick-up location optimization by receiving trip requests and location data from computing devices of users and determining a specified region in which each requesting user is located. Each region can be associated with a plurality of eligible pickup locations. The computing system can score each of a plurality of eligible pickup locations based, at least in part, on (i) ETAs of vehicles to the pickup locations, and (ii) an amount of reduced time for utilizing each pickup location as opposed to the current location of the requesting user or a pick-up location specified by the requesting user. Based on the scoring, the computing system may then select (i) a trip pickup location to initiate the trip request, and (ii) a selected vehicle from the set of candidate vehicles to service the trip request.
