It is determined that there are a plurality of users accessing the AR environment from a plurality of different devices, wherein each of the plurality of users can see the displayed holographic image in the AR environment.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for displaying a three-dimensional representation of a media source in an augmented reality meeting space. The augmented reality meeting space receives structured data from the media source, for example, via an RSS feed, and translates the structured data into a three-dimensional representation using an application adapter. The application adapter can be enhanced by including additional information about the structure of the data that is specific to the media source. Users can view, manipulate, and otherwise interact the three-dimensional representation within a shared, collaborative, augmented reality meeting space.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for saving and loading workspaces in augmented reality (AR) environments. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of an AR meeting space to open in a current physical location, wherein AR meeting space was previously configured for a remote physical location different from the current physical location. A selection of an AR meeting space to open in a current physical location is received. An arrangement of one or more digital objects of the selected AR meeting space is determined. A current anchor area within the current physical location that corresponds to a remote anchor area of the remote physical location is identified. The arrangement of the one or more digital objects of the AR meeting space is modified in the current physical location based on an alignment of the current anchor area with the remote anchor area.

Abstract: A travel coordination system coordinates travel between a client and a provider to a destination. The client and provider meet at a pickup location and the provider transports the client (or an item or object from the client) to the destination. The travel coordination system automatically suggests a pickup location for the trip by determining location data points corresponding to prior trips of clients. Location data points near the client's location are determined by distance or by region and scored to determine a pickup location that improves the estimated pickup time and/or estimated time to arrive at the destination.

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.

Abstract: A friction joint includes a housing having a channel. A first tension ring member is arranged within the channel, and has an outer dimension that is resiliently expandable. A first rotor member is received within the central opening of the first tension ring member. The first rotor member causes the outer dimension of the first tension ring member to expand within the channel of the housing and press against at least a portion of the housing. The first rotor member is frictionally engaged with and rotatable relative to the first tension ring member when the first rotor member is received within the central opening of the first tension ring member.
