Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an index map generator to generate a first index map based on a first virtual environment generated by a first mobile device, the first mobile device associated with a first user, a collision detector to determine a collision likelihood based on the first index map, and an object placer to, in response to the collision likelihood satisfying a threshold, modify the first virtual environment.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example system for avoiding collision for virtual environment in a shared physical space includes a first mobile device associated with a first user, a first mobile device generating a first virtual environment, a second mobile device, associated with a second user, the second mobile device generating a second virtual environment and a server. The server includes an index map generator to generate a first index map and a second index map from the first virtual environment and the second virtual environment, respectively, a collision detector to determine a collision likelihood based on a comparison of the first index map and the second index map, and an object placer to, in response to the collision likelihood satisfying a threshold, modify at least one of the first virtual environment or the second virtual environment.

Abstract: A method for maximizing value from surplus assets. Users may submit surplus items into an active list. The financial value and condition of the submitted surplus item is assessed. The disposition path for the surplus item is determined. The surplus item may be used internally for enabling other employees to request reuse of the item or used externally by scrapping, donating, or reselling the item.
