Abstract: Method of generating depth estimate based on biometric data starts with server receiving positioning data from first device associated with first user. First device generates positioning data based on analysis of a data stream comprising images of second user that is associated with second device. Server then receives a biometric data of second user from second device. Biometric data is based on output from a sensor or a camera included in second device. Server then determines a distance of second user from first device using positioning data and biometric data of the second user. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A method for generating a haptic feedback on a display area operable by finger movements involves sensing a position of a finger on the display area and modulating a coefficient of friction between the finger and the display area is modulated depending on the position. The touchdown positions of two fingers are determined and the friction between each of the fingers and the display area is changed depending on a distance from the touchdown positions of the fingers simultaneously touching the surface.

Abstract: A printing system may be provided and the printing system may comprise, in an example, a controller, wherein the controller may cause a printing mechanism to selectively apply pre-treatment fluid and marking fluid on a recorded medium. The printing mechanism may comprise a first printhead to dispense pre-treatment fluid and a second printhead to dispense marking fluid, wherein the first printhead is arranged in line with the second printhead. The controller may cause the printing system to enter a first print mode, wherein in the first print mode, there are a plurality of passes of a printing mechanism where pre-treatment fluid and/or marking fluid is applied to the recorded medium, and wherein a first of the plurality of passes is to be of the pre-treatment fluid from the first printhead without the second printhead dispensing marking fluid.

Abstract: A suture anchor retaining a suture is fixated in hard tissue, in particular in bone tissue, using any per se known method and is then secured using a securing element including a material having thermoplastic properties, which is liquefied in situ and made to penetrate the hard tissue in which the suture anchor is fixated. The securing element is e.g. a thermoplastic plug or thermoplastic sleeve which is anchored above the suture anchor in a mouth area of the same hard tissue opening. Alternatively the securing element is a thermoplastic pin which is introduced into an inner cavity of the suture anchor, wherein the material having thermoplastic properties is liquefied in this cavity and, in a liquid state is pressed through passages connecting the cavity with outer surfaces of the anchor.

The first device displays on a display a marker. The second device detects the marker using a camera included in the second device and captures an image of the marker using the camera. The second device determines a transformation between the first device and the second device using the image of the marker. A common coordinate frame is then determined using the transformation, the shared AR session is generated using the common coordinate frame, and the shared AR session is caused to be displayed by the first device and by the second device.
