  • Patent number: 11836828
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include generating a virtual item within a virtual environment. The method may also include detecting, using various hardware sensors, a current position of a physical object that is to be portrayed within the virtual environment. The method may next include generating a virtual representation of the physical object within the virtual environment. The virtual representation of the physical object may be configured to at least partially follow movements of the physical object relative to the virtual item. The method may also include presenting the virtual item and the generated virtual representation of the physical object within the virtual environment, where the virtual representation of the physical object is at least partially, controllably decoupled from the movements of the physical object relative to the virtual item. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230334565
    Abstract: A system for dispute data transfer in a distributed trading network includes a memory and a dispute manager. The memory stores information about a trading order associated with a client system. The dispute manager communicates a confirmation message to the client system, where the confirmation message provides an option to send a trading order dispute request that disputes processing of the trading order. The dispute manager receives a trading order dispute request generated in response to a selection of the option. The dispute manager obtains a decision that responds to the trading order dispute request and communicates the decision to the client system.
