Abstract: Methods and systems describe augmenting image content presented on a mirror display. The method includes detecting images of a user in an activity volume in front of the mirror display; the detecting includes identifying a body of the user and tracking movements by the user while in the activity volume. The method includes receiving a request to predict a change in physique of the body of the user, the request includes input parameters that identify a physical exercise and an amount of said physical exercise. The method includes generating an augmented image of the body of the user; the augmented image of the body has said change in physique, the change in physique of the body is assembled from one or more three-dimensional (3D) models of one or more body parts of the body that have been adjusted in shape.

Abstract: Techniques for improving a graphical user interface are described. In an example, a computer system receives an activity identifier of an activity in a video game and correlated locations. It builds a map of the locations from completion data indicating completion of the activity, and location data indicating where the activity was completed in the video game by other players. The identifier can be predefined in program code of the video game. Data is processed to determine where the likely location is for completing the activity in the video game. This likely location is shown as a graphical user interface element in a map.

Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling displayed content based on user input. The method includes receiving one or more user inputs from a peripheral device operated by a user, the user inputs comprising one or more involuntary user inputs; modifying the user inputs to reduce a contribution of the involuntary user inputs; and adapting the displayed content in dependence on the modified user inputs.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) model generates a control input for a virtual player of a video game based on input state data. A video stream of the video game is generated based on the control input for the virtual player of the video game. The video stream is transmitted to a client device. Training feedback data is received from the client device and includes a time-dependent series of human-generated feedback elements correlated to the video stream. Each feedback element indicates that the control input for the virtual player of the video game, as generated by the AI model, is either a player-approved control input or a player-disapproved control input. AI model training includes reinforcing use of the player-approved control input for the virtual player in response to the input state data, and diminishing use of the player-disapproved control input for the virtual player in response to the input state data.

Abstract: Computer game transmitters can shift frequencies of game assets such as audio or haptic assets to the ultrasonic range and then mix the assets with game audio, transmitting the mix. Receivers then separate the audio from the audible band to play the audio and downmix the assets for play thereof. The frequencies of the assets can be companded prior to transmission.

Abstract: To minimize use of power required for cooling and get ahead of temperature buildup, a mode of operation can be established for a cooling element of a device based on one or more non-temperature factor values. For example, current values, power values, or even values related to initiating a video game may be used. The cooling element itself may be a server fan, a coolant pump, or another type of cooling element.

Abstract: A method of user availability estimation includes recording a timing of a plurality of first user sessions during in which the first user performs one or more tasks of a predetermined type, estimating a timing of a subsequent session of the first user based upon the recorded timings of the plurality of first user sessions, for the subsequent session of the first user, ordering for completion by the first user one or more tasks of the predetermined type, having respective durations, that fit within the estimated timing of the subsequent session.

Abstract: A method and system for providing gaze-based generation of virtual effects indicators correlated with directional sounds is disclosed. Gaze data is tracked via a camera associated with a client device to identify a point of focus within a three-dimensional virtual environment towards which one or both eyes of the player are focused. When the point of focus indicated by the gaze data when the point of focus does not move towards the source location within the three-dimensional virtual environment when the directional sound is received indicates that a virtual effect indicator associated with the directional sound type of the indicated directional sound is should be generated.
