Abstract: Methods and apparatus for personalizing a vehicle with a sensory output device include receiving, by one or more processors, a signal indicating an identity or passenger profile of a detected passenger in or boarding the vehicle, accessing preference data and geographic location data for the passenger, and selecting sensory content for delivery to the passenger in the vehicle based on the preference data and geographic location data. Methods and apparatus for producing video customized for a preference profile of a person or cohort include associating each of stored video clips with a set of characteristic parameters relating to user-perceivable characteristics, receiving user profile data relating to the person or cohort, selecting video clips from the data structure based at least partly on the user profile data, and automatically producing a video including the preferred video clips.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing electronics games for play by a group of users in two or more moving vehicles. The method includes maintaining data structures of media program data, user profile data and vehicle profile data, receiving user and vehicle state information, identifying a group of users based on contemporaneous presence in two or more vehicles or common participation in a game or other group experience for related trips at different times, and selecting, configuring or creating media program for play at media players. An apparatus or system is configured to perform the method, and related operations.

Abstract: A method for receiving and processing sonic messaging by a mixed reality (xR) device from acoustic output of a media player playing content for a two-dimensional (2D) screen or projection surface, to coordinate the rendering and playing of an xR output in the xR device with the playing of the 2D content at the media player.

Abstract: A gesture-recognition (GR) device made to be held or worn by a user includes an electronic processor configured by program instructions in memory to recognize a gesture. The device or a cooperating system may match a gesture identifier to an action identifier for one or more target devices in a user's environment, enabling control of the target devices by user movement of the GR device in three-dimensional space.

Abstract: Provided is a system for controlling digital cinematic content based on emotional state of characters. A focus on one or more computer-controlled characters appearing in digital cinematic content is determined based on emotion indicators of a first user actively interacting with at least the one or more computer-controlled characters. A set of emotion indicators is inferred for each of the one or more computer-controlled characters based on one or more criteria and multifactor feedback loops are created. A story line of the digital cinematic content and behavioural characteristics of the one or more computer-controlled characters are controlled to achieve a target emotional arc of the first user based on the multifactor feedback loops.
