  • Publication number: 20220139251
    Abstract: A motivational extended reality system can create and store an identity token for a user. The system can associate, in a data store, the identity token with an input data source. The system can determine an idealized image of the user and can associate the idealized image with the identity token in the data store. The system can receive a real-world goal of the user and can associate the real-world goal with the identity token in the data store. The system can monitor, based upon data received from the input data source, progress towards the real-world goal. The system can determine whether the progress indicates that the real-world goal has been reached or that progress has been made by reaching a milestone associated with the goal. In response to determining that the real-world goal has been reached, the system can allow access to the idealized image.

  • Publication number: 20200184963
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an audio communication system include determining content factors of content to be presented to a user participating in a virtual assistant interaction session between a user and a virtual assistant provided through a voice-controlled device. Context factors associated with a physical environment in which the voice-controlled device and the user are located are also determined and computing devices coupled to the voice-controlled device are identified. Each of the at least one computing device provides a respective device capability. In response to the content factors, the context factors, and the respective device capabilities of each at least one computing device satisfying a first virtual assistant augmentation condition, at least a portion of the content of the virtual assistant interaction session is transferred to a first computing device of the at least one computing device and presented to the user by the first computing device.
