Abstract: Systems and processes associated with an augmented film crew. For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving, at a display of a user media device, an indication that a user of the user media device intends to generate a user video in an environment; receiving, at the display, an input indicating a user preference associated with the user video; generating, by the user media device, data associated with the environment using a sensor of the user media device; determining, by the user media device, a purpose for the user video using the user preference and the data associated with the environment, wherein the purpose is chosen from a predetermined set of purposes; detecting an additional media device that is located in the environment, wherein the additional media device is associated with the user or the user media device; determining pre-production assignments for the user video using the purpose and the additional media device, wherein the pre-production assignments indicate one or more characteristics of the scene for the user video in the environment; generating, using the user media device, a first video stream of the scene in the environment using the pre-production assignments; receiving, from the additional media device, a second video stream of the scene; and generating, by the user media device, the user video using the first video stream or the second video streams. The above steps may be implemented as instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, computer program product, or device such as a television receiver, or in other types of embodiments.

Abstract: Systems and processes associated with an augmented film crew. For example, a computer-implemented method may include generating, by a user media device, an environment video stream associated with a scene in an environment, wherein the environment video stream is generated using a first sensor of the user media device; receiving, at the user media device, an additional video stream generated by an additional network device; generating the user video using the environment video stream or the additional video stream; generating a user video stream, wherein the user video stream is generated using a second sensor of the user media device; determining a sweet spot of the user video stream, wherein the sweet spot is a portion of the user video stream that indicates an important event in the scene based on a physical appearance, movement, or audible sound of the user; identifying a portion of the user video associated with the sweet spot of the user video stream; and generating an updated user video using the environment video stream or the additional video stream, and the user video stream. The above steps may be implemented as instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, computer program product, or device such as a television receiver, or in other types of embodiments.

The above steps may be implemented as instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, computer program product, or device such as a television receiver, or in other types of embodiments.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for converting audio-video content into audio-only content. Audio-video content is readily accessible, but for various reasons users often cannot consume content visually. In those circumstances, for example, when a user is interrupted during a movie to drive to pick up a spouse or child, the user may not want to forego consuming the audio-video content. The audio-video content can be converted into audio only content for the user to aurally consume, allowing the user to consume the content despite interruptions or other reasons for which the audio-video content cannot be consumed visually.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards the interpretation of driver intent and communication of that intent with autonomous vehicles at a traffic intersection. A computing device that sits on the dashboard of a vehicle includes at least one camera, an output device, and circuitry. The computing device captures first images of the driver in the vehicle and second images of the traffic intersection. The computing device identifies another vehicle at or approaching the intersection based on an analysis of the second images. The computing device determines an attention direction and hand movement of the driver based on an analysis of the first images to determine a driving intent of the driver. The computing device provides information to the other vehicle indicating the driving intent of the driver. The computing device may also obtain the driving intent of the other vehicle and provide information to the driver indicating the other vehicle's intent.
