Publication number: 20230089307Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for an extended reality safety and accessibility assistant. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a server computer can include a processor and a memory. The memory can include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. In particular, the server computer can receive a request from a user device. The request can include an image of a physical environment. The server computer can identify a structure within the image and can determine whether the structure is associated with a safety rating, an accessibility rating, or both. In response to determining that the structure is associated with a rating, the server computer can generate extended reality display data including an augmented reality object that is representative of the rating.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property l, L.P.Inventors: Brianna King, Brittany Clarke, Patricia Devere, Michele Smith

Publication number: 20230066353Abstract: A multimodal audio broadcast assembly for selectively enabling individual and group listening includes a pair of earbuds and a docking station. Each earbud is selectively engageable a respective ear of a user so that the earbud is removably engaged to the respective ear. The earbuds can receive wirelessly an audio signal from an electronic device and can broadcast the audio signal into the ears of the user. The docking station operationally engages the pair of earbuds so that the docking station is positioned to charge the pair of earbuds. The docking station also can receive the audio signal from the electronic device. A dock speaker is engaged to the docking station and is positioned to selectively broadcast the audio signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Daimond Smith, Michelle Smith

Publication number: 20220244775Abstract: A variable effect activation system includes one or more sensors that generate data. The data can be assessed to determine if the data is indicative of a valid input to an interactive effect. Valid inputs may be assessed based on a lenient or relatively non-stringent threshold to permit a wide variety of guest actions to be considered valid inputs. While many of these guest actions may not be recognized as part of preprogrammed interactions with an interactive environment, the system nonetheless assesses characteristics of these inputs to provide an appropriate response, e.g., via activation of an interactive effect in a manner that aligns with the characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Victor Lugo, William Wilson, Hannah Pogue, Jacob Edelen, Charles Babb, Robert Wiedemann, Robert Michael Jordan, Michelle Smith

Publication number: 20210262938Abstract: The invention generally relates to detecting an analyte in a medium. In certain aspects, the invention provides systems and methods for detecting an analyte in a medium comprising one or more light-emitting diodes, each operating at a single wavelength in a deep ultraviolet (UV) range for excitation of a target in a medium and a plurality of semiconductor photodetectors. The system is configured such that each semiconductor photodetector detects only a subset of emission from the excited analyte in the medium.
