  • Publication number: 20180376205
    Abstract: The present principles generally relate to augmented reality (AR) apparatuses and methods, and in particular, to an exemplary augmented reality system (100) in which content characteristics are used to affect the individual viewing experience of the content. One exemplary embodiment involves a user specified modification of the content by using an augmented reality device (125-1) to provide a preview for a parent or a guardian of a viewer, or a third-party curator of contents a time period before a potentially objectionable scene is to be shown to other viewers. A modified content (705, 1005) may be created by replacing or obscuring the objectionable content or scenes of the one or more of the original contents. The apparatus and method is employed in a system having one or more augmented reality devices (125-1-125-n) such as e.g., one or more pairs of AR glasses. The system may also include a non-AR display screen (191, 192) to display the content to one or more viewers.

  • Publication number: 20180376204
    Abstract: The present principles generally relate to augmented reality (AR) apparatuses and methods, and in particular, to an exemplary augmented reality system (100) in which content characteristics are used to affect the individual viewing experience of the content. One exemplary embodiment involves a user specified modification of the content by using an augmented reality device to provide a preview (600) for a parent or a guardian of a viewer, or a third-party curator of contents. A modified content (705, 05) may be created by replacing or obscuring the objectionable content or scenes of the one or more of the original contents. The apparatus and method is employed in a system having one or more augmented reality devices (125-1-125-n) such as e.g., one or more pairs of AR glasses. The system may also include a non-AR display screen (191, 192) to display the content to one or more viewers. Accordingly, different forms of the same content may be presented on the different AR glasses and also on the shared screen.

  • Patent number: 10146915
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for sharing and publishing files. In one aspect, the database system can maintain a user database, a file database and a library. The database system can receive a first request initiated by a first user to share a first file with one or more second users and, responsive to the first request, enable a second set of one or more permissions for each of the second users. The database system also can receive a second request initiated by the first user to publish the first file to the library and, responsive to the second request, publish the first file to the library. The database system additionally can restrict access to the published file based on permissions associated with the library.
