  • Patent number: 11884155
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating and presenting a graphical user interface for display of autonomous vehicle behaviors. The techniques include determining a trajectory of a vehicle operating in a real-world environment. Sensors of the vehicle obtain sensor data representing an object in the real-world environment. A maneuver of the vehicle to avoid a collision with the object is predicted based on the sensor data and the trajectory of the vehicle. It is determined that a passenger comfort level of a passenger riding in the vehicle will decrease based on the maneuver of the vehicle. The passenger comfort level is measured by passenger sensors of the vehicle. A graphical user interface is generated including representations of the vehicle, the object, and a graphic, text, or a symbol alerting the passenger of the predicted maneuver. The graphical user interface is transmitted to a display device of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11775148
    Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for monitoring and controlling autonomous vehicles (AVs). As an example, at least one processor determines that a first AV is in a field of view of a user wearing an augmented reality display device, determines first data regarding an operation of the first AV, and causes at least a portion of the first data to be presented to the user using the augmented reality display device. For example, a graphical user interface is presented in the field of view of the user using the augmented reality display device, and at least the portion of the first data is included on the graphical user interface, such that at least the portion of the first data appears to be arranged spatially proximal to the first AV in the field of view of the user.

  • Patent number: 11532130
    Abstract: A mixed reality device (30) employing a mixed reality display (40) for visualizing a virtual augmentation of a physical anatomical model, and a mixed reality controller (50) for controlling a visualization by the mixed reality display (40) of the virtual augmentation of the physical anatomical model including a mixed reality interaction between the physical anatomical model and a virtual anatomical model. The mixed reality controller (50) may employ a mixed reality registration module (51) for controlling a spatial registration between the physical anatomical model within a physical space and the virtual anatomical model within a virtual space, and a mixed reality interaction module for controlling the mixed reality interaction between the physical anatomical model and the virtual anatomical model based on the spatial registration between the physical anatomical model within the physical space and the virtual anatomical model within the virtual space.

  • Patent number: 11527321
    Abstract: An augmented reality system includes a head-mountable augmented reality platform (152) having a display to provide guidance to a user. A prediction module (115) is trained in a procedure and is configured to predict a next activity in the procedure based on a current condition. An image generation module (148) is responsive to the prediction module to provide a visual cue of a predicted next activity to the user through the head-mountable augmented reality platform.

  • Patent number: 11482334
    Abstract: A patient monitor (8) includes a display (10). Patient values (38) are obtained for one or more known variables of a risk prediction function (30). One or more unknown variables of the risk prediction function are determined, and at least one hyperplane (40) is defined as values assumable by the one or more unknown variables. Values of the risk prediction function are computed over the at least one hyperplane using the obtained patient values. A visualization template is selected from a database of visualization templates (50) using template selection indices including the risk prediction function and the one or more unknown variables. Using the visualization template, a visualization (52) of the computed values of the risk prediction function over the at least one hyperplane is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20220198842
    Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for predicting the health of vehicle components. The techniques include collecting, using a set of sensors of a vehicle, first sensor data related to a set of events over a period of time, and collecting, using the set of sensors, second sensor data associated with an acute event after the period of time. Using a processor, a health of a component of the vehicle is determined based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data and a correlation between the first and second sensor data and the component of the vehicle. The vehicle is navigated using a control circuit of the vehicle in response to a determination that the health of the component does not meet a predefined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220075368
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle receives sensor data from one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle, and generates a request for remote control of the autonomous vehicle by a computer system remote from the autonomous vehicle. Generating the request includes determining a quality metric associated with a network connection between the autonomous vehicle and the computer system, and upon determining that the quality metric is greater than a threshold quality level, transmitting, from the autonomous vehicle to the computer system the request for remote control and a first data item representing the sensor data. The first data item meets one or more conditions associated with the threshold quality level.
