  • Publication number: 20230217064
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables game play or other application sessions from a set of candidate game hosts and environments to consumption devices of a user's choice while the user moves about their home between the different environments. The system may employ methods to determine where a user is located within the home, availability and selection of candidate game hosting and target environments, homing and direction of related I/O and audio-visual (AV) content for consumption. The solution accommodates multiple users simultaneously within the home, whether in single player, multiplayer using the same screen, or multiplayer using separate screen games. The solution may configure AV and input/output (I/O) such that multiple users can consume one or multiple games in the home simultaneously, whether in separate locations or when seated together in front of the same consumption device.

  • Publication number: 20220383502
    Abstract: Systems and methods for localizing an upper eyelid in an image of a subject are provided. An image of an eye of the subject is obtained in electronic format. The image is inputted into a trained neural network comprising at least 10,000 parameters, thereby obtaining a set of coordinates for an upper eyelid in the image. This obtaining and inputting can be repeated over the course of a non-zero duration thereby obtaining a corresponding set of coordinates for the upper eyelid in each image in a plurality of images. Each corresponding set of coordinates for the upper eyelid from each image in the plurality of images can be used to determine whether the subject is afflicted with a neurological condition.
