Abstract: Systems, methods, client devices, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for utilizing video data and video processing data to enable shared augmented reality scenes having video textures depicting participants of video calls as augmented reality (AR) effects during the video calls. For instance, the disclosed systems can establish a video call between client devices that include streaming channels (e.g., a video and audio data channel). In one or more implementations, the disclosed systems enable the client devices to transmit video processing data and video data of a participant through the streaming channel during a video call. Indeed, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems cause the client devices to utilize video data streams and video processing data to render videos as video textures within AR effects in a shared AR scene (or AR space) of the video call (e.g., to depict participants within the AR scene).

Abstract: The invention resides in a system to assist in the care and independence of at-risk persons, comprising a first smart device operated by a carer of an at-risk person, and a second smart device in communication with the first generic smart device, being a wearable smart device worn by the at-risk person and comprising at least an internal accelerometer and GPS, whereupon detection of a fall by the at-risk person by the internal accelerometer the second smart device determines its location through operation of the internal GPS and transmits its location to the first smart device.
