Abstract: In an example system for navigating extended reality history, the system captures and stores a plurality of snapshots of one or more extended reality sessions. The system retrieves the snapshots and identifies a plurality of entities within the snapshots. The system determines that a degree of similarity between visual attributes of a first snapshot and visual attributes of the snapshots temporally adjacent to the first snapshot is lower than a degree of similarity between visual attributes of a second snapshot and visual attributes of the snapshots temporally adjacent to the second snapshot. Based at least in part on the determined lower degree of similarity of the first snapshot, the system assigns a higher weight to the first snapshot than to the second snapshot. Based on the identified entities and the assigning, the system identifies at least one salient snapshot to generate for presentation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining emotional responses to videos, generating emotional arc based on the responses and reactions, and determining the type and/or point of insertion of secondary content based on the determined emotional responses are disclosed. The methods display primary content to a plurality of users and determine their emotional response as they consume the primary content. An average emotional arc is generated based on the determined emotional response and it is compared to a current emotional arc generated based on emotional response from a current user. When values of the current emotional are within a predefined range of the average emotional arc at a particular play position in the timeline of the primary content, a secondary content that is designated for the value of the current emotional arc is inserted in the primary content at the particular play position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting supplemental content based on a conversation between a user and a helper are disclosed. The methods analyze a conversation, or other interactions, to determine the context and determine whether content discussed is associated with a product or service in the marketplace and of interest to the user. A factor-based determination is made whether to track helper's behavior and interactions after the conversation. When the helper is tracked, based on their tracing preferences, the helper's biometrics, such as gaze and/or heartbeat, are used to determine their interest in a product or service consumed, such as via media consumption, virtual reality experiences, or other online and offline interactions. Supplemental content related to helper's interested products are filtered based on user preferences and transmitted to the user.
