Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for inserting supplemental content into cloud-rendered media content, such as video game cutscenes. The media content is rendered and encoded for streaming to a client device. Data related to a current session associated with the client device is retrieved. Based on the retrieved session data, a supplemental content item is identified for insertion into the streaming media content. If an insertion point is detected within the streaming media content, the supplemental content item is streamed to the client device in place of the streaming media content. Once streaming of the supplemental content item has ended, either at the end of the supplemental content item or in response to a request from the client device to skip the supplemental content item, streaming of the streaming media content is resumed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling virtual assistant interaction during a conference. A conference is initiated between a first computing device and at least a second computing device, and audio input is received at an audio input device, wherein the audio input is received during the conference and the audio input device is in communication with the first computing device. The audio input is transmitted to the second computing device, and a command for activating a virtual assistant is identified in the audio input. In response to identifying a command, the virtual assistant is activated, and the transmission of the audio input to at least the second computing device is automatically stopped. A query is received at the audio input device, and an action, based on the query, is performed via the virtual assistant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the volume of content displayed on displays, such as physical and extended reality displays, based on the pose of an extended reality (XR) headset, or the gaze therefrom, are disclosed. The methods spatially map displays and audio devices on which the content is to be outputted. The methods also monitor 6DOF of the XR headset worn by the user to consume the displayed content. Based on a user's current pose or gaze, the methods determine a field of view (FOV) from the XR headset and the displays that fall within the FOV. The volume of the displays is controlled based on the where the display is located relative to the pose or gaze. The volume of a display that is within a threshold angle of the gaze is increased and volume of other displays is minimized, muted, and/or the content is displayed as closed captioning.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for manipulating a state or quality of playback of a content item. A field of view of an extended reality display device is identified, and an extent to which each of a plurality of displays falls within the field of view of the extended reality display device is determined, wherein the plurality of displays comprises at least one physical display. A plurality of factors are generated based on the determined extent to which the plurality of displays falls within the field of view, each factor corresponding to a different display of the plurality of displays. For at least one display of the plurality of displays, a state or quality of playback of a content item is manipulated in a manner responsive to the extent to which the at least one display falls within the field of view, based on the factor corresponding to the display.

Abstract: A location is mapped to identify a number of zones, and content items are identified for assignment to the zones. Selection of a zone for each content item may be received from the user, or content items may be assigned to zones automatically as described above. Identifiers of each content item and indicators of the selected zone for each content item are then stored as an AR display configuration associated with the location. In response to detecting that the AR display device is being used at the location, the AR display configuration is retrieved and resolved on the AR display device.

Abstract: An application likely to be accessed at an edge of the cloud computing environment is identified. The identified application is preemptively launched and then placed in a memory-resident state. When a request from a user to access the application is received, the application is brought out of the memory-resident state into an active state and parameters associated with the user are applied to the application.

Abstract: Methods and systems for video compression at scene changes provide an improved, low latency interactive experience in cloud computing environments. Exemplary use cases include all forms of cloud gaming including cloud-enabled interactive sporting events, e-sports, fantasy sports, gaming, and enhancements. Improvements in performance and experience are achieved with at least one of an extreme low latency rate controller, an extreme low latency rate controller method, frame partitioning at scene changes, preventive (relatively early) termination of encoding at scene changes, interactive signaling between a decoder and an encoder, or interactive signaling. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for virtual machine management in a cloud computing system. The systems and methods comprise receiving a game play session setup request from a user device, retrieving, in response to the session setup request, a user settings profile. The user settings profile comprises a service level agreement for session setup. A first hardware request is sent to a virtual machine manager. The first hardware request is based on the service level agreement for session setup. The virtual machine manager initializes a first virtual machine based on first hardware request. A peer-to-peer real-time communication connection is created between the user device and first virtual machine. During the game play session, an updated service level agreement is received and a second hardware request is sent to the virtual machine manager, wherein the second hardware request is based on updated service level agreement.

Abstract: Interactive video game content for a video game is streamed to a client device using a first streaming protocol configured for low-latency streaming. When an indication of non-interactive content to be inserted into the video game is detected, streaming of the interactive video game content to the client device is paused and the non-interactive content is streamed to the client device using a second streaming protocol configured for adaptive bitrate streaming. Upon receiving an indication that streaming of the non-interactive content to the client device has ended, streaming of the interactive content to the client device is resumed using the first streaming protocol.
