Abstract: A computer-implemented method of object enhancement in endoscopy images includes capturing an image of an object within a surgical operative site via an imaging device, determining a size of the object based on the captured image of the object, displaying the captured image of the object, and displaying on the displayed captured image of the object a representation of the determined size of the object.

Abstract: Embodiments of a 3D web interaction system are disclosed that allow a user to select a content item from a browser, displayed in an artificial reality environment, and present a corresponding version of the content item in the artificial reality environment. The 3D web interaction system can create the version of the selected content item in different ways depending on whether the selected content item is associated with 3D content and, if so, the type of the associated 3D content. For example, the 3D web interaction system can create and present different versions of the selected content item depending on whether the selected content item is(a) not associated with 3D content, (b) associated with “environment content,” or (c) associated with one or more 3D models.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods that aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of a human subject that has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head, such as mild or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), using an early biomarker, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1). Also disclosed here are methods that aid in determining whether a human subject that has sustained an injury or may have sustained to the head would benefit from and thus receive a head computerized tomography (CT) scan based on the levels of UCH-L1. These methods involve detecting levels and changes in levels of UCH-L1 in one or more samples taken from a human subject at time points within 24 hours after the subject has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head.

Abstract: A method of performing robotic surgery includes determining a distance between a first surgical instrument and a second surgical instrument in a surgical operative site, comparing the determined distance between the first and second surgical instruments with a threshold distance, generating an alert based on the comparison between the determined distance and the threshold distance, displaying a visual representation of the surgical operative site on a display, and displaying the alert overlaid on the displayed visual representation of the surgical operative site and in proximity to a visual representation of the first and/or second surgical instruments on the display.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods that aid in the hyperacute diagnosis and evaluation of a human subject that has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head, such as mild or moderate, severe, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), using an early biomarker, such as ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), or a combination thereof. Also disclosed here are methods that aid in the hyperacute determination of whether a human subject that has sustained an injury or may have sustained to the head would benefit from and thus receive a head computerized tomography (CT) scan based on the levels of UCH-L1.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a client system receives a request to access a user interface element in a virtual reality environment for an application and generates the user interface element in the virtual reality environment. The user interface element at the generated position occludes a portion of the application. The client system detects an input to move the user interface element from one position in the virtual reality environment to another position in the virtual reality environment relative to a display region of the application and stores position data associated with the other position of the virtual reality environment in a position database. The position data is associated with the application. The client system receives another request to access the user interface element in the virtual reality environment for the application and generates the user interface element in the virtual reality environment based on the position data associated with the application.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a client system receives requests to display user interface elements in a virtual reality environment. The user interface elements being of the same type. The client system determines that the user interface elements include at least one user interface element generated by an operating system running on the client system. The client system determines that the user interface elements include at least one user interface element generated by a third-party application or based on third-party content. The client system displays the user interface elements with one or more predetermined indicators that allow a user to identify which of the user interface elements is generated by the operating system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a client system receives a request to display a user interface element in a virtual reality environment. The client system determines whether the requested user interface element is a system user interface element generated by an operating system running on the client system or a third-party user interface element that is generated by a third-party application or based on third-party content. The client system selectively displays the user interface element in a first dedicated plane or a second dedicated plane of the virtual reality environment. The requested user interface element is displayed in the first dedicated plane of the virtual reality environment upon determining that the requested user interface element is a system user interface element. The requested user interface element is displayed in the second dedicated plane of the virtual reality environment upon determining that the requested user interface element is a third-party user interface element.
