    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for imaging and content generation. During a road trip, a driver or passenger observes an object or scene from a vehicle. From a perspective of the driver or passenger, the object or scene flows out of view in a relatively short amount of time. Images and video of the object or scene are captured with cameras. A field of view is extended beyond what the driver or passenger can easily observe. The capture is configurable to focus on particular types of objects or scenes. Recordings of billboards and road signs are easily displayed after passing the object. Object identification, gaze determination, and interest determination are provided. Curated content is generated. Applications to extended reality environments are provided. Artificial intelligence systems, including neural networks, and models are utilized to improve the imaging and content generation. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating personalized audio settings for different users listening to the same piece of media content. For example, the system may receive a first audio setting for a first user corresponding to a first volume level for a first frequency and a second audio setting for a second user corresponding to a second volume level for the first frequency. The system may then use the first audio setting, second audio setting, position of the first user, and position of the second user to calculate a weight for each speaker of a plurality of speakers. Each speaker of the plurality of speakers then outputs the first frequency at the respective calculated weight, resulting in the first user perceiving the first frequency at the first volume level and the second user perceiving the first frequency at the second volume level.

    Abstract: Sensors disposed on a steering wheel sense contact of a user's hands with the steering wheel. The sensors are arranged into several zones that wrap around the steering wheel. Each zone is adjacent to at least two other zones. Data from the sensors is continuously received by input/output circuitry. Control circuitry determines a time series of pressures for each zone based on the data from the sensors. The time series of pressures for the zones are stored in a data structure that is looped. The time series of pressures of the data structure is compared to a time series of pressures of a reference data structure. An action to control at least one element of the vehicle is performed based on the comparison. In some embodiments, the steering wheel includes handlebars and the sensors are disposed in handlebar grips.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing an immersive virtual experience in autonomous vehicles in autonomous (e.g., self-driving) mode are disclosed. A navigation path of an autonomous vehicle is determined, the navigation path including autonomous mode segments and non-autonomous mode segments. Based on at least real-time location data of the vehicle or metadata associated with the navigation path, the vehicle is determined to enter autonomous mode for an autonomous mode segment. Based on determining that the vehicle is entering autonomous mode, a virtual journey view is initiated, causing immersive content to be displayed. A motion simulated accessory is operated based on immersive content data or the current or future motion status of the vehicle. Upon determining that the vehicle will no longer operate in autonomous mode, the transparency of the display is adjusted, causing the presentation of the immersive content to fade away while a real-world environment becomes visible.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide control of an AR media asset generated on a display of an AR device. The AR media asset is displayed as part of a 3D environment and at a first depth in the 3D environment. A gaze of a user of the AR device is determined to be focused at a second depth in the 3D environment. The second depth is deeper than the first depth. In response to determining the gaze of the user is focused at the second depth, the AR media asset is repositioned to a third depth in the 3D environment. The third depth is deeper than the second depth. The AR media asset is automatically moved to allow the user to focus at the second depth, which allows the user to pay attention to the physical surroundings and consume the AR media asset while on-the-go.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for detecting and measuring characteristics of a ball during a sporting event, and further for presenting the detected characteristics. For example, the disclosed system uses a camera to detect the location of an object (e.g., a ball used in a sporting event) and, based on the determined location, emits a laser beam at the object. The emitted laser beam scatters off the object and creates a speckle pattern detectable in the same direction as the emitted laser beam. The speckle pattern is detected, for example, using a photodetector. The photodetector captures the speckle pattern caused by the emitted laser beam interacting with the object's surface. The system analyzes the detected speckle pattern over time to determine characteristics of the object. The system may optionally display the characteristics of the object using one or more visualizations.
