Abstract: A flight path management system manages flight paths for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight path management system receives a sequence of controller inputs for the UAV, and stores the sequence of controller inputs in a memory. The flight path management system accesses the memory and selects a selected section of the sequence of controller inputs corresponding to a time period. The flight management system outputs the selected section to a playback device in real time over a length of the time period.

Abstract: A method including receiving an input from a user for an interaction application that is executing. The method including receiving a first plurality of multimodal cues from a plurality of trackers, wherein each of the plurality of trackers is configured to track a corresponding cue using artificial intelligence. The method including providing the first plurality of multimodal cues to an artificial intelligence (AI) model configured to classify one or more emotions of a user, wherein the AI model generates a first predicted emotion based on the first plurality of multimodal cues. The method including determining a modification to content generated by the interaction application in response to the input, wherein the modification to the content is determined based on the predicted emotion. The method including providing the modification to the interaction application, wherein the interaction application is configured to generate modified content based on the modification.

Abstract: A microphone can be provided on a charging case for wireless earbuds. This can be used for quality recording and microphone placement, as well as assisting in echo cancellation algorithms by measuring environmental noise. The microphone can be movably mounted to adjust for noise or echo cancelation on another device such as a cell phone.

Abstract: Alerts can be generated to inform a prime user to unblock another user, whose audio and/or video the prime user has blocked, owing to an emerging context that may be of interest to the prime user. The prime user can be informed of such a context and provided the ability to selectively view the blocked user's comments so the full context can be understood. This aims to help protect the prime user who may have been the subject of harassment from the blocked user originally causing the blocked user to be muted or otherwise blocked in the first place.

Abstract: A method for dynamically modifying audio playback of a video game is provided. The method includes ascertaining a game music data associated with the video game. The game music data may include a plurality of game soundtracks classified according to predetermined criteria. The method may include collecting feedback over a period of time while the user is playing the video game. The method may continue with determining, based on the feedback, one or more replacement soundtracks based on criteria associated with the one or more replacement soundtracks. The method may further include dynamically modifying the game music data while the user is playing the video game by replacing at least one of the plurality of game soundtracks with the one or more replacement soundtracks to obtain modified game music data. The modified game music data may be provided to the user while the user is playing the video game.

Abstract: Content is projected onto the surface of water such that it can be viewed from either above or below the surface. Using distortion mapping, depth sensing, and de-noising, the image can remain unaffected by ripples and allow the user to interact within the body of liquid and/or use it as input. Liquids of different density can be layered on the surface to create different refraction planes. Water currents and jets can be used to actively reduce ripples from user interaction, as well as actively adding or removing liquid from the container to counteract displacement or create effect.

Abstract: Advertisements are tailored not only to a person's profile but also to the context in which the person finds himself. Thus, for example a video-based advertisement may be reformatted or reprovisioned in audio format when the person is driving, while an audio-based advertisement may be reformatted or reprovisioned to video format in noisy conditions.

Abstract: A method is provided, including the following operations: recording gameplay data from a first session of a video game, the first session defined for interactive gameplay of a user; training a machine learning model using the gameplay data, wherein the training causes the machine learning model to imitate the interactive gameplay of the user; after the training, determining a classification of the machine learning model by exposing the machine learning model to one or more scenarios of the video game, and evaluating actions of the machine learning model in response to the one or more scenarios; using the classification of the machine learning model to assign the user to a second session of the video game.
