Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for initiating a conversation by a virtual agent. The boundary of a widget of a webpage the user is utilizing is determined. The user's interactions or lack of interactions with the widget within the determined boundary of the widget of the webpage is then determined, such as based on tracking the eye gaze or focus of the user. If it is determined that the user is experiencing difficulty in utilizing the widget, then the content associated with the widget is extracted. The extracted widget content is then mapped to the virtual agent content. The virtual agent is instructed to initiate a conversation based on the extracted widget content. In this manner, the virtual agent will now be able to dynamically initiate a conversation with the user to assist the user in addressing a problem the user is currently experiencing with the widget.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for enabling visual location of a real-world object. Specifically, an object location service is initiated in a service orchestration layer of a 5G telecom network in response to a request from a user corresponding to the real-world object. This object location service collects a stream of three-dimensional location coordinates from both the user's device and the real-world object's device. Based on these sets of sets of location coordinates, the object location service calculates a continuously updated three-dimensional vector from the user to the real-world object. The object location service uses this continuously updated three-dimensional vector to apply an augmented reality indicator that is continuously updated in real-time to the real-world object on a display of the UE device corresponding to the user.
