Abstract: A method for using a telescoping monopod apparatus to capture an image including synchronizing a photographic instrument with the telescoping monopod apparatus, attaching the photographic instrument to the telescoping monopod apparatus, determining that the photographic instrument is in an image-capturing mode, extracting, by the image-capturing mode, a humanoid feature, detecting that the humanoid feature comprises a cutoff, adjusting a position of the photographic instrument using the telescoping monopod apparatus, and capturing an adjusted image using the photographic instrument.

Abstract: A telescoping monopod system including an image acquisition module having a field of vision, an attachment member configured to contact the image acquisition module, a body housing a processor, a memory, an electromechanical component, and a plurality of shafts. The body contacts the attachment member. The body comprises a control panel.

Abstract: A telescoping monopod apparatus including a holder configured to hold an image acquisition module having a field of vision, and a support holding a mirror to be in proximity to a lens of the image acquisition module, the mirror is configured to enable the image acquisition module to capture an image outside the field of vision, and a body housing a control component and an electronic component configured to actuate the telescoping monopod apparatus and the support. The body is operatively connected to the holder. A tracking method including receiving an input from a user, detecting, by an image acquisition module, a feature, and adjusting a mirror to track the feature.

Abstract: A method, including receiving, by a processor of a virtual reality controller system, a source file of a target hardware device, creating, by the processor, a virtual machine that emulates the target hardware device using the source file, and displaying a virtual target device controller on a display of the virtual reality controller system.

Abstract: A virtual reality controller system including a virtual reality hardware and a responding device. The virtual reality hardware includes a processor, a first communication module, a sensor module, and an output module. The responding device includes a second communication module and is configured to communicate with the first communication module. The processor is configured to generate and display a virtual controller using the output module. The virtual controller is configured to control the responding device.

Abstract: A global positioning system including a processor configured to determine a route of travel based upon satellite data that identify a current location of the global positioning system and traffic data obtained from a traffic flow control system, and a display configured to display the current position and a determined route of travel.

Abstract: A telescoping monopod apparatus that is configured to hold a photographic instrument. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a body that houses a control component and an electronic component. The body has a rotatable bottom end. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a plurality of shafts disposed in an interior of the body. The upper end is opposite of the rotatable bottom end. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a ball disposed on an uppermost shaft of the plurality of shafts. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a spheroidal joint that is configured to receive the ball on a first end. The spheroidal joint is attached to a holder on a second end.

Abstract: A traffic flow control system that includes a display device, an image acquisition module, an user interactive device, and a server having a processor. The processor is configured to obtain, by a data aggregation module, at least one of a first, second, third, fourth set of data, compute, by a computation module, a travel score for a travel direction of an intersection by weighing each of the first, second, third, and the fourth set of data with respect to one another, determine whether the travel score is a highest travel score of the intersection, and, if the travel score is the highest travel score of the intersection, enable traffic flow in the travel direction using the display device.
