  • Publication number: 20230147846
    Abstract: In an approach to monitoring and querying autobiographical events, one or more computer processors receive data from one or more sensors associated with a user. Based on the received data from the one or more sensors, one or more computer processors detect an autobiographical event associated with the user. One or more computer processors convert the received data from the one or more sensors into one or more observations associated with the autobiographical event. One or more computer processors convert the one or more observations into one or more questions associated with the one or more observations. One or more computer processors query the user with the one or more questions. One or more computer processors receive at least one response to the one or more questions from the user.

  • Patent number: 10915740
    Abstract: A facial expression feedback system for providing real-time feedback on how closely a user matches his or her facial expression to a target expression is presented. The facial expression feedback system receives sensor data captured by a set of sensors. The facial expression feedback system evaluates the captured sensor data to generate a set of confidence scores with respect to a target facial expression. The system presents the feedback by modifying a multimedia presentation based on the generated set of confidence scores.

  • Patent number: 10775879
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) system for VR desk application that allows a user to move in a VR environment while sitting in front of a working desk is provided. The VR system receives sensor data from a mobile device. The VR system generates a set of sitting motion data by interpreting the received sensor data as a motion of a limb of a person in a sitting posture. The VR system maps the set of sitting motion data into a set of movements in the VR environment. The VR system renders the VR environment and presents the rendered VR environment.

  • Patent number: 10725540
    Abstract: Augmented reality speed reading is provided by detecting a reader's changing gaze direction; detecting movements of the reader's eye; and between movements of the reader's eye, displaying text at the reader's gaze direction. An exemplary apparatus includes an eye illuminator that delivers light to a reader's eye; an eyeward camera that generates digital images of the reader's eye including reflected light from the eye illuminator; a display; and a processor that is connected in communication with the eyeward camera and the display. The processor implements an eye tracking module that receives the digital images from the eyeward camera and detects the reader's gaze direction, and the processor implements a text display module that controls the display to present text at the reader's gaze direction.

  • Patent number: 10524737
    Abstract: Techniques that facilitate condition detection in a virtual reality system and/or an augmented reality system are provided. In one example, a system includes a virtual reality component and an anomaly detection component. The virtual reality component collects motion data and biometric data from a virtual reality device. The motion data is indicative of motion information associated with one or more accelerometer sensors of the virtual reality device. The biometric data is indicative of biometric information associated with one or more biometric sensors of the virtual reality device. The anomaly detection component integrates the motion data and the biometric data into a machine learning model to generate anomaly detection data for the virtual reality device.
