The enhanced playback session is communicated to the first display device.

Abstract: A head-mounted device (HMD) of a first user has a transparent display. The HMD determines location information of a second user relative to the HMD of the first user. The second user is located within a predefined distance of the HMD. The location information identifies a distance and a direction of the second user relative to the HMD. The HMD receives audio content from the second user, generates augmented reality (AR) content based on the audio content, and displays the AR content in the transparent display based on the location information of the second user. The AR content appears coupled to the second user.

The first AR device forms transportation AR content based on the transportation information and displays the transportation AR content in the display based on the first geographic location and orientation of the first AR device, the transportation information, and the picture generated at the first geographic location of the first AR device.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for presenting an AR visualization of an ADAS. A viewing device integrated into a vehicle gathers sensor data from one or more sensors. The sensor data describes a speed and trajectory of the vehicle and a geographic location of a physical object in relation to the vehicle. The viewing device determines, based on the sensor data, that a threat level of the vehicle colliding with the physical object meets or exceeds a threshold threat level. In response to determining that the threat level of the vehicle colliding with the physical object meets or exceeds the threshold threat level, the viewing device determines an automated movement of the vehicle to avoid colliding with the physical object. The viewing device then presents, on a heads up display of the vehicle, virtual content depicting the automated movement, and executes the automated movement.

The content creation tool provides the content dataset to a second device, the second device configured to display the interactive feature corresponding to the selected template.

The viewing device determines, based on updated sensor data, an updated distance of the physical object and generates an updated presentation of the virtual content based on the updated distance. The viewing device presents the updated presentation of the virtual content on the transparent display of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for presenting spatially translated dimensions of an unseen object. A viewing device captures, with one or more sensors affixed to a vehicle, sensor data describing a distance between the vehicle and a physical object. The viewing device generates, based on the sensor data, a virtual model representing a position of at least a portion of the vehicle in relation to the physical object. The viewing device presents the virtual model on a display in the vehicle. The viewing device captures, with the one or more sensors affixed to the vehicle, updated sensor data describing an updated distance between the vehicle and the physical object, and updates the virtual model presented on the display based on the updated sensor data.

Abstract: A device can determine a distance to an object. The device can use the determined distance to vary a focal length of a first adjustable element so that the first adjustable element directs light from the object into a first waveguide and onto a detector, and forms an image of the object at the detector. The device can produce an image, such as augmented content, on a panel. The device can direct light from the panel into a second waveguide. The device can use the determined distance to vary a focal length of a second adjustable element so that the second adjustable element directs light out of the second waveguide and forms a virtual image of the panel in a plane coincident with the object. The device can operate as an augmented reality headset. The adjustable elements can be phase modulators, or acoustically responsive material with surface acoustic wave transducers.
