  • Publication number: 20240129573
    Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.

  • Publication number: 20230324907
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved user interfaces and mechanisms associated with controlling a vehicle. Some such embodiments provide a decluttered user interface that dynamically updates to provide detailed element(s) utilized to convey particular details of vehicle operation and/or adjust operation of the vehicle. Some embodiments cause rendering of an indicator associated with a value tape set to an invisible state, cause visibility of the value tape in response to interaction data, update the value tape upon second interaction data with the indicator, and set at least one value in response to third interaction data with the indicator and set the value tape back to an invisible state. In this regard, in some embodiments the user interface remains operable while simultaneously reducing the number of interface elements required to be rendered at a given time.

  • Publication number: 20230195116
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved user interface(s) that intuitively convey information via a dynamic wind indicator. Embodiments include a dynamic wind indicator that is specially configured to visually indicate data value(s) via one or more visual properties of the dynamic wind indicator. As updated data is received, the dynamic wind indicator is updated in real-time to visually indicate the most up-to-date data value(s), for example to intuitively visually indicate effects of wind on an aerial vehicle. Some example embodiments receive wind movement data including wind speed data and wind directionality data. Some such example embodiments cause rendering of a user interface including a dynamic wind indicator that [1] visually indicates a direction of a 3D environment based on the wind directionality data, and [2] has at least one visual property configured based on the wind speed data.
