Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate providing a lane change notification when a vehicle is to perform a lane change. One or more computing devices may generate and display a video, where the video is generated from a perspective of a virtual camera at a default position and default pitch. The one or more computing devices may receive an indication that the vehicle is to perform a lane change from a first lane to a second lane and adjust, after the vehicle receives the indication, the default position and default pitch of the virtual camera to an updated position further above the vehicle relative to ground than the default position and an updated pitch directed more towards the ground than the default pitch. The video may be generated and displayed from the perspective of the virtual camera at the updated position and updated pitch.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to prioritizing notifications for a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode. As an example, a set of notifications based on one or more messages received or transmitted by a planning system of the vehicle may be generated. Each notification of the set of notifications is assigned a priority ranking. The set of notifications may be stored in a cache and the one or more processors may determine a first notification for display based on the priority rankings of the set of notifications and the first notification may be displayed on a display of the vehicle to a passenger of the vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to navigating through a three dimensional environment on a mobile device using a single gesture. A first user input is received, indicating that two or more objects have touched a view of the mobile device. Two or more target locations on a surface of the three-dimensional environment corresponding to the two or more objects touching the view of the mobile device are determined. A second user input indicating that the two objects have performed a motion while touching the view of the mobile device is received. Camera parameters for the virtual camera, based on the received second user input, are determined. The virtual camera is moved within the three dimensional environment according to the determined camera parameters, such that the two or more target locations remain corresponding to the two or more objects touching the view of the mobile device. Moving the virtual camera may include zooming, rotating, tilting, and panning the virtual camera.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for multi-touch screen recognition of interactive objects with contacts are described herein. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to equipping a physical object with an asymmetrical pattern of contacts where the multi-touch device identifies the physical object being used to interact with the multi-touch device based on the asymmetrical pattern of contacts located on the physical object. The multi-touch device is also able to identify characteristics of the physical object based on the asymmetrical pattern of contacts as the user interacts with the multi-touch device. Each physical object has a different asymmetrical pattern of contacts so that multi-touch device identifies the differences between each physical object as user interacts with the multi-touch device.

Abstract: A system dynamically generates web pages that are optimized for a client's capabilities. In one embodiment, a client capability matrix is created. The matrix distinguishes between clients based on one or more parameters, such as browser type, browser version, available data transfer rate, display capabilities, and terminal device specifications. Additionally, a plurality of XSL stylesheets are created. Each type of client is associated with one XSL stylesheet, but one XSL stylesheet may be associated with one or more type of client. When a client requests a document from the system, the system determines the client capabilities and selects an associated XSL stylesheet. This selected stylesheet is then merged with an XML content document that is associated with the requested document. The merged document is then ransmitted to the client as an XML compliant document, such as an XHTML document.
