  • Patent number: 11204814
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assisting with cross-platform user experience accessibility are provided. A real-time connection between a remote device and a host device may be established. The remote device may apply a plurality of rules to event metadata that it generates. The filtered event metadata corresponding to a plurality of user experience events occurring on the remote device may be received by the host device. One or more transforms may be applied to the filtered event metadata on the host device. A native accessibility experience corresponding to each of the plurality of user experience events may be provided by the host device based on the transformed event metadata.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10459330
    Abstract: The invention relates essentially to the field of hybrid nanocomposite materials for uses in volumetric projection, for example such as in 3D imaging (such as the field of entertainment or the medical field). In particular, the invention describes a binary hybrid projection matrix, including at least two types of (nano)particles and/or different molecules (quantum dots, metal nanoparticles; carbon nanotubes), a method for manufacturing the matrix and a 3D projection system and method that includes the use of the matrix. The addition of the second type of particles makes it possible to modify the properties of the matrix in order to achieve better volumetric projection performance or else to generate new features that did not exist with a single particle. The new matrix also makes it possible to reduce the power of the laser used for the projection while obtaining equivalent brightness to that of existing matrices.

  • Patent number: 10360590
    Abstract: A method of identifying, to a user, acquirable entities that the user may be interested in is disclosed. The method includes at a component configured to analyze information across a plurality of applications, analyzing in one or more of the applications being used by a user, content in the one or more applications. The method further includes based on the content, identifying one or more acquirable entities from the content. The method further includes identifying to the user the identified acquirable entities.
