Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying a visual property of an object based on a geographic location associated with a device. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to display an object that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme. Based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical elements is identified that corresponds to the object. The one or more physical elements are associated with respective values for the visual property. A value for the visual property associated with the object is determined based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical elements. The object is displayed in accordance with the value for the visual property.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying an environment based on sound. In some implementations, a device includes one or more processors, a display and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a computer graphics environment that includes an object. In some implementations, the method includes detecting, via an audio sensor, a sound from a physical environment of the device. In some implementations, the sound is associated with one or more audio characteristics. In some implementations, the method includes modifying a visual property of the object based on the one or more audio characteristics of the sound.

Abstract: A modular hybrid propulsion unit is disclosed that is mountable to a watercraft. According to an example, the modular hybrid propulsion unit includes a housing configured to fit within a complementary housing receiver on a topside of the watercraft, and a rotational output coupling configured to rotationally engage with a rotational input coupling for a propeller of the watercraft. The propulsion unit further includes an electric motor within the housing, the electric motor having a motor shaft connected to the rotational output coupling for providing an electrically powered rotational input to the rotational output coupling. The propulsion unit further includes a crank having one or more crank arms. The crank is connected to the rotational output coupling for providing a human powered rotational input to the rotational output coupling independent of the electrically powered rotational input by the electric motor.

Abstract: A pool side shading device that includes: an inflatable object, where inflatable object is placed near a swimming pool; a platform, where the platform is an integral part of the inflatable object; a flow of water over the platform, where the flow of water descends into the pool; and a water source, where the water source provides water for the flow of water. The inflatable object may preferably configured as a rock formation. The water source may be a water hose or water from the swimming pool through a pump. Further, the flow of water may be adapted to recirculate over the platform.
