  • Publication number: 20240070929
    Abstract: A tangible substrate such as paper is provided for an end user to configure into, e.g., stairs, a racetrack, etc. Machine vision processes images of the substrate to generate an electronic map. Using the map, images of virtual objects are generated and presented on an augmented reality (AR) display as moving over the substrate, which is visible through the display with the virtual objects appearing as being overlaid on the tangible substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220254082
    Abstract: Digital events to dynamically establish avatar emotion may include particular dynamic metadata happening on live TV, Internet streamed video, live computer gameplay, movie scene, particular voice trigger from users or spectators, the dynamic position/state of an input device (such as a game controller resting on a table), etc. The system dynamically changes the state of a user avatar to various emotional and rig transformation state through this smart system. This brings in more life to the existing static chat/video chat conversation which is active, and user driven while this system is dynamically trigger-driven and autonomous in nature. The avatar world is thus rendered to ne more life-like and responsive to environmental and digital happenings of the user.

  • Patent number: 10571999
    Abstract: A system and method including a disposable wearable device that provides enhanced capabilities to a non-wearable device for a limited period of time by sensing proximity and securely exchanging permissions with the non-wearable device. In one embodiment, the wearable device is capable of sensing one or more bio-signals that are provided to the non-wearable, tactile feedback, or the like. The wearable device may be disposable and may also provide additional tactile feedback for the extended feature (e.g. game feedback, etc). In another embodiment, the wearable device is capable of sensing one or more bio-signals that are provided to the non-wearable, tactile feedback, or the like.

  • Patent number: 10528121
    Abstract: A smart wearable device with sensors that can acquire biological input about the user as well as environmental data is presented. Theses sensors can acquire sensor input which causes the smart wearable device to identify a required task to perform. If the smart wearable device determines that the task can only be performed properly by acquiring new capabilities, the smart wearable device can automatically acquire the necessary capabilities from various data sources and configure itself to perform the task properly.

  • Patent number: 10254825
    Abstract: Smart wearable devices and methods are disclosed for providing feedback for optimal placement of the wearable device. This includes systems and methods to lock or unlock a wearable device and/or notify external wearable/non-wearable devices depending on the states of the wearer by sending notification or providing feedback if mispositioned or repositioned on the wearer. A system and method are disclosed for providing a user indication of proper placement of a wearable device by providing feedback based on acquired bio-signal quality. In one embodiment, bio-signal quality is acquired by comparing a computed signal to noise ratio to that of an expected signal.
