Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, analyzing video content obtained from a 360 degree camera to discern a point of interest in the video content and obtaining information about a viewer of the video content. A field of view is predicted based on the information about the viewer and the analysis of the video content. Less than 180 degrees of the video content centered on the predicted field of view is sent to equipment of the viewer. A monitored line of sight of the viewer is obtained based upon eye movements of the viewer relative to an orientation of the viewer. The analysis is updated based on the monitored line of sight and the predicted field of view is updated based on the updated analysis. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes monitoring conditions in a real environment in which a user is present, wherein the monitoring is performed by collecting data about the conditions from a plurality of sensors located in the real environment, transmitting the data about the conditions to an extended reality device that is present in the real environment, where the extended reality device is configured to render a virtual environment, interpolating between the real environment and the virtual environment, based at least in part on the conditions, to determine an actual extended reality environment that is being presented to the user, and sending a signal to a device that is located in the real environment, based on the interpolating, wherein the signal instructs the device to take an action that modifies at least one of the conditions in the real environment.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for adjusting at least one network-controllable physical resource in response to detecting that a network-connected vehicle comprises a potential hazard to an animate being with a registered safety need are disclosed. In one example, a processing system including at least one processor may identify a network-connected vehicle and a animate being with a registered safety need, detect that the network-connected vehicle poses a potential hazard to the animate being with the registered safety need, transmit a first warning to the network-connected vehicle of the potential hazard, and adjust at least one network-controllable physical resource in response to the detecting that the network-connected vehicle poses the potential hazard to the animate being with the registered safety need.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system and method for selecting media content for a group of persons located at a venue. The system and method identify a plurality of viewers in a vicinity of a venue that has one or more display devices from location data and extracts a content viewing preference of each viewer from their profile data. The process includes aggregating the content viewing preference of each of the plurality of viewers to generate an aggregated content profile. Based on the aggregated content profile, a list of content is generated. Next, a first group of viewers approaching a viewing range of a display device are sensed by imaging data. Any conflicts between content viewing preferences of the first group of viewers are detected and resolved based on weighting the viewing preferences of the group. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products help users recall memories and search for content of those memories. When a user cannot recall a memory, the user is prompted with questions to help recall the memory. As the user answers the questions, a virtual recollection of the memory is synthesized from the answers to the questions. When the user is satisfied with the virtual recollection of the memory, a database of content may be searched for the virtual recollection of the memory. Video data, for example, may be retrieved that matches the virtual recollection of the memory. The video data is thus historical data documenting past events.
