  • Patent number: 11900815
    Abstract: Technologies for providing augmented reality wayfinding experiences in ridesharing applications are provided. In some examples, a method for providing augmented reality wayfinding experiences can include determining a first location of an autonomous vehicle (AV) relative to a second location of a client device associated with a user that requested a ride from the AV; based on the first location of the AV relative to the second location of the client device, determining a direction from the second location of the client device to the first location of the AV; presenting, at the client device, a feed from a camera sensor associated with the client device, the feed including a local scene captured by the camera sensor; and presenting a virtual content overlay on the feed, the virtual content overlay including an indication of the direction from the second location of the client device to the first location of the AV.

  • Publication number: 20230245071
    Abstract: Technologies for providing real-time visualizations of a behavior of an autonomous vehicle (AV) associated with a ride request. In some examples, a method for providing real-time visualizations of a behavior of an AV associated with a ride request can include receiving a user request for a ride from an AV, wherein the user request specifies a pick-up location associated with a user; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the AV; determining, based on the sensor data, a state and context of the AV while the AV is en route to the pick-up location; and presenting, at a display interface, a map depicting one or more visual indicators of the state and context of the AV, the state and context of the AV including a location of the AV and one or more AV operations.

  • Publication number: 20180124472
    Abstract: Embodiments of the subject invention are directed to a computer-implemented method and system for interacting with unidirectionally distributed content, including specifying an interaction manifest that corresponds to an item of unidirectional content, generating a corresponding interaction ID and an ID sound code, embedding the ID sound code in the audio portion of the corresponding item of unidirectional content, playing the item of unidirectional content which includes the embedded ID sound code, decoding, by a mobile device in proximity to a player the embedded ID sound code, requesting the corresponding interaction manifest and executing the interaction manifest.
