Abstract: Extended reality presentations (e.g., augmented reality, augmented virtuality, and virtual reality) are often presented as multimodal experiences involving a combination of visual, audio, and haptic input and output channels. Users who have a deficit in one modality may consume other channels of the extended reality presentation, but the absence of the deficit modality may render the extended reality presentation incomplete or incomprehensible. Instead, for users with a deficit in a source modality, a modality may be identified as an annotation modality in which the user does not have a deficit. An annotation set of annotations in the annotation modality may be generated that respectively describe an event arising in a source channel in the source modality. The annotation set may be presented to the user (either supplementing the source channel or in lieu of the source channel), thereby adapting the extended reality presentation to the physiological capabilities of the user.

Abstract: Spectral machine condition energy peaks are graphically represented in a spectral plot using color coding, different line types, and/or filtering. This allows visual differentiation of spectral peaks associated with various fault frequency families from one another, whereby a machine condition analyst using computer-based analysis software can easily see each family of spectral peaks individually, without all the other spectral peaks, or in combinations of families that are relevant to a machine fault under investigation. In addition to current spectral data, the analyst can also view a historical trend of related scalar parameters plotted in conjunction with current spectral data, wherein the spectral data plot is synchronized with a time-based cursor on the trend plot.

Abstract: A visualization of choroidal blood vessel size is created. A vortex vein position is detected from a choroidal vascular image in which choroidal blood vessels have been visualized. Image processing is employed on the choroidal vascular image to extract first size choroidal blood vessels of a first size and to extract second size choroidal blood vessels of a second size different to the first size from the choroidal vascular image. A size analysis fundus image is generated in which a rectangular frame indicating the vortex vein position is displayed superimposed on the choroidal vascular image, and in which the first size choroidal blood vessels are displayed in red and the second size choroidal blood vessels are displayed in blue.
