Abstract: An input device comprises a depressible element with two switches including a first switch configured to generate a first signal when the depressible element is depressed by a threshold distance and a second switch configured to generate a second signal indicating when the depressible element is depressed by the threshold distance and the second switch is in an active state. One or more processors may be configured to receive the first signal from the first switch; configure the second switch to change from an inactive state to an active state in response to receiving the first signal; receive the second signal from the second switch in the active state; determine whether the second signal indicates that the depressible element is depressed by the threshold distance; and generate event data confirming that the depressible element is depressed by the threshold distance in response to receiving the second signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to livestreaming methods and systems, and more particularly to whiteboard presentation systems that can be used in a livestreaming or video conferencing environment. In some embodiments, the whiteboard presentation system is configured to perform one or more processing operations, such as capture images on a whiteboard, perform image processing routines on the captured images, and transmit processed images as a video feed to one or more remote users, such as people or locations attending a video conference. The image processing routines can include one or more operations such as image denoising, contrast enhancement, color reconstruction, segmentation of a presenter, and image reconstruction.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a hard and soft light module having a housing with a first surface that accommodates a lens. A first plurality of LEDs are disposed along a periphery of the first surface, the first plurality of LEDs are configured to generate light in a first direction toward an edge of the lens. A second plurality of LEDs are disposed proximate to the first surface, the second plurality of LEDs are configured to generate light in a second direction through the lens. The first plurality of LEDs are configured to generate a soft light and the second plurality of LEDs are configured to generate a hard light.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed pertaining to determining a level of proficiency of a user at a computer simulation through the use of a plurality of skill assessment tests. Each skill assessment test can test a respective skill for use in the computer simulation. The techniques can also be used to train a user for the computer simulation and/or to determine team composition using roles for use in the computer simulation. In some aspects, skill assessment tests may incorporate multiple iterations in including a first base line iteration and subsequent iterations that differ between user devices. In some embodiments, metrics that are indicative of a level of proficiency of the user can be made with respect to metrics of other users to determine a user's level of skill with respect to various groups of other users.

Abstract: Automation of the comparison of the colors of small surfaces of products. In one embodiment, color differences are measured rather than an absolute color value. An apparatus is provided for capturing color images of a portion of a product or part to provide a sample product image. The sample image is compared to an image of a standard product obtained under the same conditions with the same apparatus. The color difference is measured to determine when it is in a predetermined range.
