Abstract: To improve the fidelity of a motion sensor, voice-induced components in signals from the motion sensor as well as haptic-induced components in signals from the motion sensor are canceled prior to outputting the final motion signal to an app requiring knowledge of device motion, such as motion of a HMD for a computer game.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for 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. The method includes presenting, on the mirror display, the augmented image of the body of the user as a video overlay over images of the user captured when the user is in the activity volume; the presenting is responsive to processing said request to predict the change in physique of the body of the user. In this way, when a user is provided with an augmented image of what the body of the user may look like at a point in the future, the user may be encouraged to continue with their physical fitness regimen and dietary program so that the user can achieve their fitness goals.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating augmented reality (AR) scenes where the AR scenes can be adjusted to modify at least part of an image of the physical features of a user to produce a virtual mesh of the physical features. The method includes generating an augmented reality (AR) scene for rendering on a display for a user wearing AR glasses, the AR scene includes a real-world space and virtual objects overlaid in the real-world space. The method includes analyzing a field of view into the AR scene from the AR glasses; the analyzing is configured to detect images of physical features of the user when the field of view is directed toward at least part of said physical features of the user. The method includes adjusting the AR scene, in substantial real-time, to modify at least part of the images of the physical features of the user when the physical features of the user are detected to be in the AR scene as viewed from the field of view of the AR glasses, wherein said modifying includes detecting depth data and original texture data from said physical features to produce a virtual mesh of said physical features; the virtual mesh is changed in size and shape and rendered using modified texture data that blends with said original texture data. In one embodiment, the modified physical features of the user appear to the user when viewed via the AR glasses as existing in the real-world space. In this way, when the physical features of a user are detected to be in the AR scene, the physical features are augment in the AR scene which can result in the self-perception of the user improving which in turn can provide the user with confidence to overcome challenging tasks or obstacles during the gameplay of the user.

Abstract: A method is provided, including the following operations: presenting on a display device a virtual scene including a virtual character, the display device disposed in a local environment; providing a view of the local environment through a head-mounted display, the view through the head-mounted display including the display device and the virtual scene being presented thereon; animating the virtual character to show the virtual character moving from the virtual scene presented on the display device to the local environment as viewed through the head-mounted display, wherein the animating includes transitioning, from rendering the virtual character as part of the virtual scene presented on the display device, to rendering the virtual character as an augmented element in the view of the local environment provided through the head-mounted display.

Abstract: Privacy of a conversation between a computer game player and an entity such as a person or virtual assistant is preserved by various techniques so that other players of the computer game who are not part of the conversation cannot apprehend the conversation. The conversation may be voice or txt but is not an online chat associated with the computer game.

Abstract: A method for communicating with users in a virtual reality space includes capturing images of a user during a session of interaction in the virtual reality space, with the captured images including hand gestures and facial expressions made by the user during a communication act. The method also includes processing state data generated during the session, to identify a context associated with the virtual reality space during the communication act. The method further includes generating an audio output representing an interpretation of the hand gestures and facial expressions. The audio output includes sound modifications that are dynamically applied based on the context of virtual reality space. Still further, the method includes presenting the audio output in the virtual reality space via an avatar of the user. The face of the avatar is correspondingly modified with a video overlay associated with the sound modifications, which update during the communication act.

Abstract: A method for modifying user sentiment is described. The method includes analyzing behavior of a group of players during a play of a game. The behavior of the group of players is indicative of a sentiment of the group of players during the play of the game. The method includes accessing a non-player character (NPC) during the play of the game. The NPC has a characteristic that influences a change in the sentiment of the group of players. The method includes placing the NPC into one or more scenes of the game during the play of the game for a period of time until the change in the sentiment of the group of players is determined. The change in the sentiment of the group of players is determined by analyzing of the behavior of the group of players during said play of the game.

Abstract: To protect a user's privacy by reducing a malicious developer's ability to eavesdrop on unwitting HMD users by converting signals from a motion sensor in the HMD to speech or speaker recognition, a microphone can record ambient sound and voice which is subtracted from the motion sensor data before the sensor data is made available to the game developer. In another technique, a band pass filter subtracts frequency in the sensor signals within the voice range. Still a third technique blends statistical noise into the motion sensor signal before passing to game developers to obfuscate the user's speech. The amount by which voice components in the motion signal are eliminated or obfuscated can be tuned by a person or app.

Abstract: A system that teaches players gestures, for instance during the introduction of the game, and asks the player to invoke the gesture. Rather than asking the player to repeat over and over until the player succeeds, the game looks for commonality in the player's attempts, and after a small number of attempts, the game can learn how that player interprets the gesture given the player's own ability. The game can then adapt itself to look for that pattern to trigger the action.
