  • Publication number: 20250117184
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a personal boundary of an avatar in an XR environment. The system identifies a first avatar in an extended reality (XR) environment based on rule data stored in a storage. In response to the system detecting that the first avatar has entered a portion of the XR environment at a communicable distance from a second avatar, the system does the following steps. The system determines an offensiveness rating of the first avatar. The system retrieves, from the storage, an offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar. The system compares the offensiveness rating of the first avatar and offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar. In response to determining, based on the comparing, that the offensiveness rating of the first avatar exceeds the offensiveness tolerance of the second avatar, the system automatically censors one or more messages from the first avatar to the second avatar.

  • Publication number: 20250005868
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring and analyzing user interactions within an extended reality (XR) environment. Objects and their attributes are determined and compared to a model of attributes of interest of a user. A second object exhibiting a stronger correlation with the current attribute of interest of the user is displayed through virtual overlays in an XR environment.

  • Publication number: 20240373100
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods enable a queue-based real-time navigation of linear television channels using a two button “channel backtrack” (or, e.g., “channel down”) and “next channel” (or, e.g., “channel up”) approach. Rather than tedious surfing of a static channel lineup, the systems and methods utilize two dynamic queues: a history queue tracks recently visited channels and a future queue is loaded with recommended channels based on personalized rankings. Using these two queues, and an input interface for a “channel backtrack” command and a “next channel” command, the disclosed techniques provide users an alternative to typical channel surfing experiences. The queue of future channels can be dynamically updated based on updated rankings and recommendations.
