  • Publication number: 20250061806
    Abstract: The technology includes communicating the current status of a self-driving vehicle to users, such as passengers within the vehicle and other users awaiting pickup. Certain information about the trip and vehicle status is communicated depending on where the passenger is sitting within the vehicle or where the person awaiting pickup is located outside the vehicle. This includes disseminating the “monologue” of a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode to a user via an app on the user's device (e.g., mobile phone, tablet or laptop PC, wearable, or other computing device) and/or an in-vehicle user interface. The monologue includes current status information regarding driving decisions and related operations or actions. This alerts the user as to why the vehicle is taking (or not taking) a certain action, which reduces confusion and allows the user to focus on other matters.

  • Publication number: 20230015060
    Abstract: Mediated-reality imaging systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an imaging system includes a camera array configured to (i) capture intraoperative image data of a surgical scene in substantially real-time and (ii) track a tool through the scene. The imaging system is further configured to receive and/or store preoperative image data, such as medical scan data corresponding to a portion of a patient in the scene. The imaging device can register the preoperative image data to the intraoperative image data, and display the preoperative image data and a representation of the tool on a user interface, such as a head-mounted display.
