Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a virtual character being presented to a user within a real-time immersive environment. A first animation to be applied to the virtual character is determined. A nonverbal communication animation to be applied to the virtual character simultaneously with the first animation is determined. The virtual character is animated in real-time based on the first animation and the nonverbal communication animation.

Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing defining a shell and an inner volume, a container, a drive mechanism, a needle assembly, a fluid flow connection, and a backflow prevention mechanism. The container has an inner volume to contain a medicament to be administered to a user. The drive mechanism is at least partially disposed within the housing and exerts a force to urge the medicament out the container. The fluid flow connection is coupled to the container and the needle assembly and allows the medicament to flow from the container to the needle assembly to be administered. The backflow prevention mechanism is associated with at least one of the container, the fluid flow connection, or the needle assembly and includes at least one flow restrictor to restrict a fluid from flowing from the needle assembly to the container.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rendering a first interface for presentation by a user computing device based on a first user input and information received over a network. The first interface can include item information. Additional item information may be stored at the user computing device at the time that the first interface is processed, but not initially displayed. Based on receiving a second user input, a second interface can be displayed that includes the additional item information, where the second interface may be displayed over a first portion of the first interface such that the first user interface remains accessible. The second interface may be populated with portions of the previously stored additional item information without necessarily obtaining further information over the network.
