Abstract: Embodiments provide for the rendering of illumination effects on real-world objects in augmented reality systems. An example method generally includes overlaying a shader on the augmented reality display. The shader generally corresponds to a three-dimensional geometry of an environment in which the augmented reality display is operating, and the shader generally comprises a plurality of vertices forming a plurality of polygons. A computer-generated lighting source is introduced into the augmented reality display. One or more polygons of the shader are illuminated based on the computer-generated lighting source, thereby illuminating one or more real-world objects in the environment with direct lighting from the computer-generated lighting source and reflected and refracted lighting from surfaces in the environment.

Abstract: Embodiments provide interactive artificial intelligence. Input to an artificial intelligence (AI) system is received, where the AI system comprises a plurality of machine learning (ML) models. A context of the input is determined, where the context indicates a role-playing scenario. A first ML model of the plurality of ML models is then selected based on the determined context, where the first ML model was trained based at least in part on the role-playing scenario. Output is generated by processing the input using the first ML model. The output is then returned.

The AR-capable headset includes one or more visual sensors and one or more computer processors that, while the headset is in an unworn state: receive input from the one or more controller devices, output visual content to an external display, and visually detect the one or more controller devices using the one or more visual sensors.

Abstract: The systems and methods presented herein describe integrating artificial intelligence chatbots into a communication between real-world users. A context of a shared communication session between the real-world users may be determined. In response to a user selection, a contextually relevant communication may be presented in communication session. The contextually relevant communication may be responsive to the context of the communication session and/or may convey a persona of an entity, such as a movie character.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for an augmented reality (AR) system able to track the movement of real-world objects and apply that movement to virtual objects. The AR system includes a radio configured to receive first sensor data from a sensor attached to a first physical object in physical space. The AR system further includes a processor configured to determine when a physical object changes from a first state to a second state object based on the first sensor data, and update an environmental map based on the change from the first state to the second state of the first physical object.

Abstract: Systems and methods to provide a game based on common media consumption are described herein. Exemplary implementations may: obtain sets of consumption information for users of a game; identify common media content that has been consumed by two or more users from the sets of consumption information for the two or more users; responsive to requests from users to play the game together, obtain game information that corresponds to the common media content; effectuate presentation of the game on computing platforms of the users based on the game information; and/or perform other operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing the accuracy of spatial location and rotational orientation determination of a wearable head-mounted display device while in a motion simulating vehicle are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: generate output signals conveying vehicle information; generate output signals conveying user information of a user; obtain presentation information; determine, based on the user information and the vehicle information, spatial location and rotational orientation of the wearable head-mounted display device with respect to a reference frame such that accuracy of the determination is enhanced with respect to only using the user information; determine a view of the virtual space that corresponds to the spatial location and the rotational orientation of the wearable head-mounted display device determined; and effectuate, via the wearable head-mounted display device, presentation of the view of the virtual space.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for interacting with a virtual interface. The virtual interface may include a virtual object. The virtual object may correlate with an instruction to change the virtual interface. A user's interaction with the virtual object may be determined. The virtual interface may be changed in accordance with the instruction.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications. A vehicle may store experience information and/or other information. The experience information may define virtual content to be presented to a user residing in the vehicle to create an interactive space. The virtual content may be associated with an experience location in a real-world environment. Responsive to a vehicle location of the vehicle being at or near the experience location, the user may be presented with views of the virtual content. The user may interact with the virtual content causing an update of the experience information. Upon detection of presence of a second vehicle, the vehicle may communicate the updated experience information to the second vehicle.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for extending on-screen gameplay via an augmented reality (AR) system. An extended AR application executing on an AR headset system receives, via a game controller, first data associated with a first object associated with a computer-generated game. The extended AR application renders an augmented reality object based on the first data associated with the first object. The extended AR application displays at least a first portion of the augmented reality object via an augmented reality headset system.

Abstract: This disclosure presents systems and methods to adapt an interactive experience based on user height. Presence of a beacon within a real-world environment may be detected. A set of vertical displacements between the beacon and a presentation device installed on a head of a user may be determined over a period of time. An average vertical displacement may be determined from the set of vertical displacements. A value of a height dimension of a virtual object may be specified based on the average vertical displacement.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for reconciling a first map of an environment created by a first device with a second map of the environment created by a second device by determining a first confidence score for a first location of a given object in the first map; determining a second confidence score for a second location of the given object in the second map; inserting the given object into a reconciled map at a position based on the first confidence score and the second confidence score; anchoring an Augmented Reality object in the reconciled map at coordinates based on the position of the given object; and outputting the reconciled map to an Augmented Reality device.
