Abstract:

A server receives, from a first display device of a first user, first content data, first sensor data, and a request for assistance identifying a context of the first display device. The server identifies a second display device of a second user based on the context of the first display device. The server receives second content data and second sensor data from the second display device. The first content data is synchronized with the second content data based on the first and second sensor data. Playback parameters are formed based on the context of the first display device. An enhanced playback session is generated using the synchronized first and second content data in response to determining that the first sensor data meet the playback parameters. The enhanced playback session is communicated to the first display device.

Abstract:

A contextual local image recognition module of a device retrieves a primary content dataset from a server and then generates and updates a contextual content dataset based on an image captured with the device. The device stores the primary content dataset and the contextual content dataset. The primary content dataset comprises a first set of images and corresponding virtual object models. The contextual content dataset comprises a second set of images and corresponding virtual object models retrieved from the server.

Abstract:

A head-mounted device (HMD) of a first user has a transparent display. The HMD determines location information of a second user relative to the HMD of the first user. The second user is located within a predefined distance of the HMD. The location information identifies a distance and a direction of the second user relative to the HMD. The HMD receives audio content from the second user, generates augmented reality (AR) content based on the audio content, and displays the AR content in the transparent display based on the location information of the second user. The AR content appears coupled to the second user.

Abstract:

A survey application generates a survey of components associated with a three-dimensional model of an object. The survey application receives video feeds, location information, and orientation information from wearable devices in proximity to the object. The three-dimensional model of the object is generated based on the video feeds, sensor data, location information, and orientation information received from the wearable devices. Analytics is performed from the video feeds to identify a manipulation on the object. The three-dimensional model of the object is updated based on the manipulation on the object. A dynamic status related to the manipulation on the object is generated with respect to reference data related the object. A survey of components associated with the three-dimensional model of the object is generated.

Abstract:

A printing device () includes a laser source and a LCOS-SLM (Liquid Crystal on Silicon Spatial Light Modulator). The printing device generates a laser control signal and a LCOS-SLM control signal. The laser source () generates a plurality of incident laser beams based on the laser control signal. The LCOS-SLM () receives the plurality of incident laser beams, modulates the plurality of incident laser beams based on the LCOS-SL M control signal to generate a plurality of holographic wavefronts () from the modulated plurality of incident laser beams. Each holographic wavefront forms at least one corresponding focal point. The printing device cures a surface layer or sub-surface layer () of a target material () at interference points of focal points of the plurality of holographic wavefronts. The cured surface layer of the target material forms a three-dimensional printed content.

Abstract:

A mobile device identifies a user task provided by an augmented reality application at a mobile device. The mobile device identifies a first physical tool valid for performing the user task from a tool compliance library based on the user task. The mobile device detects and identifies a second physical tool present at the mobile device. The mobile device determines whether the second physical tool matches the first physical tool. The mobile device display augmented reality content that identifies at least one of a missing physical tool, an unmatched physical tool, or a matched physical tool based on whether the second physical tool matches the first physical tool.
