  • Publication number: 20250095185
    Abstract: Methods and systems for object detection and tracking in video that use at least two different AI-assisted object detection algorithms. A first AI-assisted object detection algorithm selected to be used to detect an object in a video frame and determine a mask defining location of the object on the basis that the video frame is a keyframe. A second AI-assisted object detection algorithm may be used to track location of the mask in temporally subsequent frames until the next keyframe is detected.

  • Publication number: 20240087251
    Abstract: A computer-implemented is disclosed. The method includes: determining a first position of a real display device in a real-world environment; receiving a request to display virtual information at a second relative position with respect to the first position in an AR version of the real-world environment; responsive to receiving the request: determining a displayable area associated with the second relative position; and causing the virtual information to be overlaid on the displayable area in the AR version of the real-world environment.

  • Publication number: 20240020670
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for pairing devices to establish device groups. The method includes receiving, at a server associated with a plurality of client devices and a plurality of accessory devices, a first request to establish a device group comprising a first client device of the plurality of client devices and a first accessory device of the plurality of accessory devices. The first request identifies the first client device and the first accessory device. The method also includes establishing the device group comprising the first client device and the first accessory device. The device group, once established, allows the first client device to utilize the first accessory device.

  • Publication number: 20230419635
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating and transmitting media data feeds location-based privacy settings. Embodiments generate, store, and reference location-based privacy settings that instruct the computing device to generate obfuscations in the media data. The obfuscations may include computer-generated or user gesture-generated obfuscation regions that instruct the computing device to apply the obfuscations to portions of the video feed. The computing device may be pre-configured to recognize certain objects or regions (or portions thereof) and remove, blur, or substitute them from the live video stream or 3D data according to privacy settings. The privacy settings may be relative to the location in which the user and computing device are situated. In operation, the computing device may determine the location and then apply the location-specific privacy settings to obfuscate a portion of the video feed while being generated and transmitted.
