Abstract: A portable electronic equipment comprises a first sensor to record media and at least one second sensor to capture data representing a physical condition of a user of the portable electronic equipment, the at least one second sensor being configured to capture the data in response to the first sensor recording the media. A processing device is interfaced with the at least one second sensor. The processing device is configured to retrieve the data captured by the at least one second sensor, to generate metadata for the recorded media based on the data, the metadata being indicative of the physical condition, and to cause the metadata to be stored in association with the recorded media.

Abstract: A dynamic content modification system dynamically modifies content playback based on a user reaction so as to provide an individualized entertainment experience. The system includes a sensor module configured to receive a plurality of sensor measurements of at least one user, and a user model database including a plurality of user models associated with content preferences. A controller is configured to receive the sensor measurements and apply the sensor measurements to at least one user model to determine a prediction of a user reaction to content. The controller further is configured to determine a content modification to a playback of to the content based on the prediction, and to a cause a content reproduction device to play back the content in a manner that incorporates the determined content modification.

Abstract: An electronic device for enabling display of a virtual object representing a real object on a remote display may be placed in a first position and first orientation. The virtual object is displayed on the remote display. The electronic device generates a virtual beam, which is displayed on the remote display, and directs the virtual beam towards the virtual object by moving the electronic device from the first position/first orientation to a second position and second orientation. The electronic device determines the second position/second orientation in relation to the virtual beam. The electronic device selects the virtual object to which the virtual beam is directed based on the determined orientation and position. The electronic device transfers information about the selected virtual object to the remote display. The information enables display of the selected virtual object or a representation of the selected virtual object on the remote display.
