  • Publication number: 20240346504
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs) using one or more location verification devices. For example, a request to mint an NFT may be received from a user device. In embodiments, the request includes an event identifier associated with an event (e.g., a sporting event) and an event location. A public blockchain address can be identified based on the request to mint the NFT. Using location verification data associated with the location verification device, a location of the user device can be verified. For example, location verification data can be associated with at least one signal received from the user device. In some embodiments, the location verification data also corresponds to a user device communication with a base station. Accordingly, the NFT can be minted based on the public blockchain address and verifying the location of the user device.

  • Publication number: 20240220985
    Abstract: To determine the authenticity between an identity, such as a person, business, or social media handle, and a blockchain address, a verification index is generated. The verification index is generated by determining that the identity controls transaction of the blockchain address using a message encrypted by the identity using the private key. Once the authenticity between the identity and a blockchain address is verified, the identity is mapped to the blockchain address in the verification index. The verification index can be used provide an indication of the authenticity between the identity and the blockchain address by querying the verification index, such as in response to an API (application programming interface) call.

  • Publication number: 20240220966
    Abstract: Generation of digital content by an artificial intelligence (AI) generator is controlled through the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for prompts to the AI generator. When a request is received for the AI generator to generate digital content using a prompt as input, ownership of an NFT for the prompt is verified. If ownership is verified, the prompt is provided as input to the AI generator to generate digital content. However, if ownership is not verified, the prompt is not provided as input to the AI generator, thereby preventing the AI generator from generating digital content using the prompt.

  • Publication number: 20240070737
    Abstract: The disclosed technologies include a robotic selling assistant that receives an item from a seller, automatically generates a posting describing the item for sale, stores the item until it is sold, and delivers or sends the item out for delivery. The item is placed in a compartment that uses one or more sensors to identify the item, retrieve supplemental information about the item, and take pictures of the item for inclusion in the posting. A seller-supplied description of the item may be verified based on the retrieved supplemental information, preventing mislabeled items from being sold.

  • Publication number: 20220025638
    Abstract: Techniques for automatically modulating a physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure. A reconfigurable building structure may be constructed of physical elements that are movable with respect to one another to facilitate actuating the reconfigurable building structure between a plurality of different physical configurations. The physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure may be adjusted to accommodate for physical dimensions of an item that is going to be moved into the reconfigurable building structure. For example, a spacing between two shelves may be expanded in response to an order being placed for a large item. In this way, when the item is delivered to a physical address associated with the reconfigurable building structure, various physical characteristics of the reconfigurable building structure may have already been modulated to accept the item.

  • Publication number: 20190156403
    Abstract: A system described herein uses data obtained from a wearable device of a first user to identify a second user and/or to determine that the first user is within a threshold distance of the second user. The system can then access an account of the second user to identify one or more items and retrieve model data for the item(s). The system causes the wearable device of the first user to render, for display in an immersive 3D environment (e.g., an augmented reality environment), an item associated with the account of the second user. The item can be rendered for display at a location on a display that is proximate to the second user (e.g., within a threshold distance of the second user) such that the item graphically corresponds to the second user. The item rendered for display may be an item of interest to the first user.

  • Publication number: 20190156582
    Abstract: Model placement metadata is defined and stored for a three-dimensional (“3D”) model. The model placement metadata specifies constraints on the presentation of the 3D model when rendered in a view of a real-world environment, such as a view of a real-world environment generated by wearable computing device like an augmented reality (“AR”) or virtual reality (“VR”) device. A wearable computing device can analyze the geometry of a real-world environment to determine a configuration for the 3D model that satisfies the constraints set forth by the model placement metadata when the 3D model is rendered in a view of the environment. Once the configuration for the 3D model has been computed, the wearable device can render the 3D model according to the displayed configuration and display the rendering in a view of the real-world environment.
