The wearable spatial audio device includes one or more audio speakers, one or more processors, and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the one or more processors. Map data is obtained for a real-world environment that includes one or more dynamic audio objects. A device-specific subset of audio tracks is obtained, and a device-specific spatialized audio mix of the device-specific subset of audio tracks that is based on the map data is obtained.

Abstract: A computing system is provided, including a first display device having a first hardware configuration including a first display and a second display device having a second hardware configuration different from the first hardware configuration and including a second display. The computing system may further include a processor configured to receive an input including instructions to launch an application program on the first display device. The application program may include application program hardware specifications indicating hardware used by the application program. Based on the first hardware configuration, the second hardware configuration, and the application program hardware specifications, the processor may be further configured to determine that the second hardware configuration matches the application program hardware specifications more closely than the first hardware configuration. The processor may be further configured to launch the application program on the second display device.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for displaying virtual content. When a user is settled in a given geographic area, a full version of the content may be displayed at user-defined or processor-defined location. When the user is moving, for example leaving the geographic area, a mobile version of the content may be displayed at a body-locked position peripheral to the user's view.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatus and methods for automated tracking and counting of objects in a set of image frames using a resource-constrained device based on analysis of a selected subset of image frames, and based on selectively timing when resource-intensive operations are performed.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to providing spatialized audio to multiple users. In one example, a computing device presents spatialized audio to multiple users within an environment via communicative connection to one or more wearable spatial audio output devices. For each communicatively connected wearable spatial audio output device, a user-specific subset of audio tracks is generated from a set of audio tracks for a dynamic audio object positioned within the environment based on one or more user-specific parameters. A location of the wearable spatial audio output device is determined relative to the dynamic audio object, and based upon this location, a device-specific spatialized audio mix is generated that includes the user-specific subset of audio tracks. The device-specific spatialized audio mixes are sent to the wearable spatial output devices, and playback of the device-specific spatialized audio mixes are synchronously initiated at each wearable spatial audio output device.

Abstract: Various embodiments relating to detecting at least one of conversation, the presence and the identity of others during presentation of digital content on a computing device. When another person is detected, one or more actions may be taken with respect to the digital content. For example, the digital content may be minimized, moved, resized or otherwise modified.

Abstract: Various embodiments relating to detecting a conversation during presentation of content on a computing device, and taking one or more actions in response to detecting the conversation, are disclosed. In one example, an audio data stream is received from one or more sensors, a conversation between a first user and a second user is detected based on the audio data stream, and presentation of a digital content item is modified by the computing device in response to detecting the conversation.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for capturing views of a mixed reality environment from various perspectives which can be displayed on a monitor. The system includes one or more physical cameras at user-defined positions within the mixed reality environment. The system renders virtual objects in the mixed reality environment from the perspective of the one or more cameras. Real and virtual objects from the mixed reality environment may then be displayed from the perspective of the one or more cameras on one or more external, 2D monitor for viewing by others.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for altering a view perspective within a display environment. For example, gesture data corresponding to a plurality of inputs may be stored. The input may be input into a game or application implemented by a computing device. Images of a user of the game or application may be captured. For example, a suitable capture device may capture several images of the user over a period of time. The images may be analyzed and processed for detecting a user's gesture. Aspects of the user's gesture may be compared to the stored gesture data for determining an intended gesture input for the user. The comparison may be part of an analysis for determining inputs corresponding to the gesture data, where one or more of the inputs are input into the game or application and cause a view perspective within the display environment to be altered.
