Abstract: Methods and systems for recreating audio include recording an audio generated by a user at a first device. The audio is processed to convert speech to text and to identify one or more characteristics of the audio capturing emotion and verbal expression of the user. Data packets are generated by compressing the text and the one or more characteristics for transmission to a second device. The text and metadata included in the data packets are used to re-create the audio at the second device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for cooperative or coached gameplay in virtual environments are disclosed. Memory may store a content control profile regarding a set of control input associated with an action in a virtual environment of a digital content title. A request may be received from a set of one or more users associated with different source devices regarding cooperative gameplay of the digital content title. At least one virtual avatar may be generated for an interactive session of the digital content title in response to the request. A plurality of control inputs may be received from the plurality of different source devices and combined into a combination set of control inputs. Generating the combination set of control input may be based on the content control profile. Virtual actions associated with the virtual avatar may be controlled within the virtual environment in accordance with the combination set of control inputs.

Abstract: To avoid startling a computer game player immersed in virtual reality for example, active noise cancelation is gradually introduced. As an alternative, ambient noise is gradually increased to conceal loud external sounds. The noise cancelation or ambient noise generation is established according to sound exceeding a background threshold as detected by a microphone. The noise cancelation or ambient noise generation can be established according to images of a noisy object as imaged by a camera.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic content display generation for multiple device setups are provided. Supplemental content files associated with an interactive content title may be stored in memory in association with parameters specific to different types of user devices. A current interactive session associated with a first device may be monitored and determined to include a virtual environment presentation associated with the interactive content title. A type of a secondary device associated with the user may be identified. A supplemental content package may be generated for the secondary device based on a selected set of supplemental content and a set of the parameters associated with the type of the secondary device. The supplemental content package may be provided to the secondary device during the current interactive session, and the secondary device may generate a presentation of the selected set of supplemental content files in accordance with the set of parameters.

Abstract: Methods and systems for defining a theme for a user to share with other users includes presenting a plurality of images available to a user account of a user, wherein each image includes features to distinctly identify different portions of the image. Select ones of the plurality of images selected by the user are provided to a generative AI, which analyzes the features included in the different portions to determine a theme and generate an output image for the theme. Additional inputs received from user selection of content adjusters provided alongside the output image are provided to the generative AI to further refine the output image. The refined output image is used to define a representative image for the theme and is provided to the user to specify usage of the refined output image during online interactions of the user.
