Abstract: A computerized process useful for sharing a persistent augmented reality (AR) objects between a set of users in a persistent AR system, comprising: implementing a persistent AR system, wherein the persistent AR system the set of users to place a set of persistent AR objects that are persistently viewable in an associated real-world context via a mobile device, wherein the persistent AR objects are shareable between users of the persistent AR system, and wherein the persistent AR objects are geolocated with the associated real-world context location; providing a list of each geolocated persistent AR object created by a first user as a user channel in the persistent AR system; enabling another user to subscribe to the channel; and enabling the other user to view each geolocated persistent AR object of the channel.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to virtual reality telepresence. In some implementations, a method includes performing projection mapping of a projection area. The method further includes collecting user information associated with a user. The method further includes positioning the user in a virtual environment based on the projection mapping and the user information. The method further includes determining a point of view of the user in the virtual environment. The method further includes projecting the virtual environment onto the projection area based on the point of view of the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems and user interfaces enhance an augmented reality experience of a user having freedom of movement within an external environment. A local user interface is created and displayed to the user in a first viewable region. A global user interface is created and displayed to the user in a second viewable region, further from the user than the first viewable region. The local user interface is maintained at a first spatial position, the first spatial position being stationary with respect to a part of the user's body; and the global user interface is maintained at a second spatial position, the second spatial position being stationary with respect to the external environment.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a computer readable medium including software instructions for performing a method, the method including receiving, by a content server, a first request from a client for an application content file, wherein the application content file is associated with a first Java network launch protocol (JNLP) file, providing, in response to the first request, the application content file; receiving, from the client, a second request to edit the application content file, providing, in response to the second request, an application designer tool to the client; receiving, from the client, an altered application content file generated using the application designer tool, generating a second JNLP file associated with the altered application content file, and providing, to a webserver, the second JNLP file.

Abstract: A sheet product dispenser includes a housing to partially enclose a roll of sheet product, at least one end-opening at a longitudinal end of the housing to load said roll within the housing, and a longitudinal slit along a length of the housing to allow a leading edge of said sheet product to be unrolled therethrough defined by an upper and lower lip of the housing. The upper lip can flex to contact the lower lip to hold the sheet product in place during a cutting operation. The dispenser may further include a deforming projection disposed on a portion of the lower lip to deform the sheet product during a cutting operation to prevent roll-back of the sheet product.
