Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for allowing multiple viewers to vote on a manner in which time-delayed content may be displayed. Alternate branches of pre-recorded content, each including alternate endings, may be displayed based on the expressed desires of a majority of viewers. The system also generates content from existing three-dimensional (3D) models of characters, and specific settings and backgrounds and 3D models generated from new images. Automatically generated content, generated from the existing 3D models or the 3D models created from the new images, may be displayed according to the expressed desires of a majority of viewers.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves a system and method relating to dynamically sending local visual landmark information from multiple end user devices to a central server that is controlling an augmented reality (AR) experience. The local landmarks enable better alignment of the AR representations across devices. Multiple players may dynamically synchronize on shared landmarks that “anchor” the AR experience. The landmarks may be dynamic, transitory, and do not require pre-modelling of a location. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods may provide for an interactive display projection with surface interactivity analysis. An interactive display projector is provided along with one or more of a camera or an electromagnetic radiation source to scan plural surfaces within a projection range of the interactive display projector. Logic, implemented at least partly in configurable or fixed functionality hardware may process reflected electromagnetic radiation to determine one or more of size, distance, texture, reflectivity, or angle with respect to the interactive display projector of the scanned plural surfaces and determine, based on the processing, interactivity of one or more of the plural surfaces for an interactive display.

Abstract: In some examples, a wearable device may emit signals to automatically release or activate drugs that are already in a user in response to a particular context of the user. For example, if the user begins vigorous exercise, the system may activate a pain medication that was already previously ingested by the user to alleviate anticipated joint pain.

Abstract: Technologies for interacting with computing devices using haptic manipulation includes tracking a user's gaze on an image displayed on a display of a computing device and identifying an image object of the image based on the user's gaze.
