  • Patent number: 11263068
    Abstract: Methods and systems for printing accurate three-dimensional structures include printing an original three-dimensional structure according to an original three-dimensional model. The original three-dimensional model is adjusted to reduce measured differences between the printed three-dimensional structure and the original three-dimensional model, by adding material to the original three-dimensional model in proportion to an amount of thermal contraction in a region. An adjusted three-dimensional structure is printed according to the adjusted three-dimensional model.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10971030
    Abstract: A system and method perform remote physical training. The method includes receiving movements performed by an operator who is remotely located, and presenting the movements of the operator as movements performed by an avatar representing the operator in a virtual reality environment. The method also includes remotely monitoring the movements of the avatar, and providing real-time feedback on the movements to the operator.

  • Publication number: 20190122177
    Abstract: A delivery system is provided. In the delivery system, drones deliver items in a serviced area and charging stations are distributed throughout the serviced area. Each charging station is configured to charge one or more of the drones. The delivery system further includes a processor that is communicative with at least the charging stations. The processor is configured to dynamically route delivery operations of each of the drones in accordance with one or more parameters. The processor is further configured to communicate with individuals involved with the delivery operations in accordance with any of the charging stations being associated with the delivery operations.

  • Publication number: 20180247443
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to computer-implemented methods, computer systems, and computer program products for customizing a virtual reality avatar. The method includes receiving inputs from an electromyography sensor. The inputs from the electromyography sensor include inputs derived from the activity or inactivity of facial muscles. In some embodiments, the electromyography sensor is integrated into a head mounted display to be in contact with a user's facial muscles. The inputs from the electromyography sensor are translated into data that represents sensed facial expressions. The facial features of the user's virtual reality avatar are modified based at least in part on the data that represents sensed facial expressions.

  • Publication number: 20180081425
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes tracking, using a computer processor, a position of a receiver in real space. A set of images is generated, using the computer processor, where the set of images represents a position of the receiver in virtual space, and where the position of the receiver in virtual space corresponds to the position of the receiver in real space. The set of images is transmitted, using a light fidelity (LiFi) communication system, to a display.
