Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to identify an object of interest in at least one first image of an environment captured by a wearable eyewear device during a first time period and identify the object of interest in at least one second image of the environment captured by a wearable eyewear device during a second time period. The processor may also determine a pattern associated with the object of interest based on the at least one first image of the identified object of interest and the at least one second image. In one regard, the processor may determine patterns associated with the object of interest, which may be hidden to or otherwise undetected by a user of the wearable eyewear device.

Abstract: A technology to have better experiences, e.g., beyond-arm's-length experiences, with fine-tuned interactions in an extended-reality environment can include methods, extended-reality-compatible devices, and/or systems configured to generate, e.g., via an extended-reality-compatible device, a copy of a representation of an object in an extended-reality environment, to initiate control of the copy of the representation of the object according to a schema; and to control the copy of the representation of the object at a first location in the extended-reality environment, e.g., the first location including a location beyond-arm's-length distance from a second location in the extended-reality environment, the second location being a location of an avatar or representation of a user and/or a controller of the extended-reality-compatible device.

Abstract: A technology for creating, replicating and/or controlling avatars in an extended-reality (ER) environment can include methods, extended-reality-compatible devices, and/or systems configured to generate, e.g., via an ER-compatible device, a copy of a representation of a user, e.g., a primary avatar, and/or an object in an ER environment, to initiate a recording of the graphical representation of the user or object according to a schema; to produce a copy of the recording of the graphical representation of the user as a new graphical representation of the user, e.g., a new avatar, in the ER environment; and to control the new graphical representation of the user at a first location in the ER environment. In examples, the technology enables moving the graphical representation of the user around the ER environment while the new graphical representation of the user performs motion and/or produces sound from the copy of the recording.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a mapping communication system that creates a 3D model of a real-world space and places a virtual camera in the 3D model. As the mapping communication system detects changes in the space, it can provide scan updates to keep the 3D model close to a live representation of the space. Further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to traveling a user to an artificial reality (XR) environment using an intent configured XR link. Yet further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to improving audio latency by performing audio processing off-headset for artificial reality (XR) experiences.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may receive input data from several artificial-reality systems used by participants to participate in a virtual meeting. The input data may include audio data and sensor data corresponding to the participants while they are in the virtual meeting. The computing system may determine meeting characteristics based on input data. The meeting characteristics may include individual behavioral characteristics for each participant and communal characteristics associated with the participants as a group. The computing system may determine an action to improve a meeting characteristic according to a predetermined criteria and generate an instruction for performing the action. The computing system may send the instruction to one or more of the artificial-reality systems used by the participants. The instructions may be configured to cause an application running on each of the artificial-reality systems that receives the instruction to perform the action.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that enable a user to provide speech inputs to control an extended reality environment, where relationships between terms in a speech input are represented in three dimensions (3D) in the extended reality environment. For example, a language processing component determines a semantic meaning of the speech input, and identifies terms in the speech input based on the semantic meaning. A 3D relationship component generates a 3D representation of a relationship between the terms and provides the 3D representation to a computing device for display. A 3D representation may include a modification to an object in an extended reality environment, or a 3D representation of a concepts and sub-concepts in a mind map in an extended reality environment, for example. The 3D relationship component may generate a searchable timeline using the terms provided in the speech input and a recording of an extended reality session.
