  • Patent number: 11483486
    Abstract: Systems and methods for virtual experience video generation are disclosed herein. The system can include a passenger vehicle including a plurality of passenger locations, a content presentation system for presenting images from a virtual world to passengers in the passenger vehicle, at least one camera for capturing video of the passenger locations, and a processor. The processor can: capture video data of a passenger of a passenger vehicle during a ride experience, identify portions of captured video data for inclusion in the virtual experience video, select video data generated from a virtual world, and combine captured video data and generated video data.

  • Patent number: 11379574
    Abstract: Techniques for secure mobile device recognition are disclosed. An IOT edge device determines, based on a network message received at the IOT edge device, that a mobile device is not recognized. The IOT edge device transmits a token request to the mobile device. In response, the IOT edge device receives an encrypted token from the mobile device. The IOT edge device transmits the encrypted token to a server. The server is configured to determine an identifier corresponding with the mobile device, based on the encrypted token. A recognition task is initiated for the mobile device, based on the determined identifier.

  • Patent number: 10052552
    Abstract: A system for associating virtual activity of a user in a virtual space and a real-world activity of a user in a physical environment are presented herein. User activities and/or experiences within the physical environment and/or the virtual environment may be created (e.g., new experiences/personalizations being presented to the user), changed, accelerated, and/or otherwise managed such that each one enhances the other and/or enriches the overall experiences of the users over time.

  • Patent number: 9807350
    Abstract: Systems and associated methods for capturing media content for a plurality of guests and intelligently parsing the media content to produce a customized/personalized media product for a particular guest or group of guests are described. A system is configured for combining video data and position tracking data to record a group guest experience or show and automatically provide custom media products. Embodiments record a plurality of guests throughout an experience or show, and simultaneously position track each guest individually. Embodiments utilize the tracking data to extract a sub-sampled video of each guest. This sub-sampled video is combined with additional media automatically according to a script. The result is a personalized video take-away for each guest, which can be created entirely without human intervention.

  • Publication number: 20120072843
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for the Figment collaboration system, providing intuitive user interfaces for collaboration. There is provided a system comprising an input surface, a display outputting on the input surface, and a server having a processor configured to receive a first input from the input surface, convert the first input into a first content box, generate contextual content suggestions based on the first content box, and show the first content box and the contextual content suggestions in a workspace canvas output to the display. By utilizing data sources accessible through a network, the contextual content suggestions may provide highly relevant data and remote user access to facilitate enhanced collaboration. At the same time, by supporting familiar workflows similar to working with conventional whiteboards, users can readily use the Figment collaboration system without the stress of having to learn poorly designed and complicated collaboration interfaces.
