Abstract: According to one implementation, an image display system includes a computing platform having a central processing unit (CPU), a system memory storing a software code, a display screen, and a motor controlled by the CPU and coupled to a rotor for rotating the display screen. The CPU is configured to execute the software code to spin the display screen about an axis at a predetermined spin rate using the motor and the rotor, and to render each of multiple perspectives of an image on the display screen at a frame rate during each revolution of the display screen about the axis. The predetermined spin rate is determined based on the number of perspectives of the image rendered per revolution of the display screen and the frame rate.

Abstract: According to one implementation, an image display system includes a computing platform having at least one processor and a system memory storing a software code. In addition, the image display system includes a display screen having a front display face and a side display face, and a base including a motor coupled to a rotor for rotating the display screen. The at least one processor executes the software code to render a two-dimensional (2D) graphic on the front display face of the display screen, and to render a visual effect on the side display face of the display screen. The at least one processor further executes the software code to use the motor and the rotor to spin the display screen to cause appearances of the 2D graphic as a floating image and the visual effect as a volumetric enhancement to the floating image.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a communication fusion application enables other software application(s) to interpret spoken user input. In operation, a communication fusion application determines that a prediction is relevant to a text input derived from a spoken input received from a user. Subsequently, the communication fusion application generates a predicted context based on the prediction. The communication fusion application then transmits the predicted context and the text input to the other software application(s). The other software application(s) perform additional action(s) based on the text input and the predicted context. Advantageously, by providing additional, relevant information to the software application(s), the communication fusion application increases the level of understanding during interactions with the user and the overall user experience is improved.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide techniques for performing incremental natural language understanding on a natural language understanding (NLU) system. The NLU system acquires a first audio speech segment associated with a user utterance. The NLU system converts the first audio speech segment into a first text segment. The NLU system determines a first intent based on a text string associated with the first text segment, wherein the text string represents a portion of the user utterance. The NLU system generates a first response based on the first intent prior to when the user utterance completes.

Abstract: Systems and methods control sounds produced by a remote-controlled vehicle during operation of the remote-controlled vehicle are described herein. One or more components of the remote-controlled vehicle may be controlled and/or manipulated so that the remote-controlled vehicle produces sounds during operation that match a predetermined set of sounds. The control and/or manipulation of the one or more components of the remote-controlled vehicle may be effectuated without alternating a path of the remote-controlled vehicle.

Abstract: According to one implementation, a dual-mode augmented reality and virtual reality viewer (AR/VR viewer) includes a device configured to provide AR and VR effects, the device including a display screen, a VR shield, and a transparency control unit coupled to the VR shield. The AR/VR viewer also includes a computing platform for generating the AR and VR effects communicatively coupled to the device. The display screen has a user facing first surface for receiving the AR and VR effects, and a second surface opposite the user facing first surface. The display screen or a transmissive layer adjoining the display screen is configured to have a variable transparency. The VR shield is configured to be one of substantially transparent in an AR mode and substantially opaque in a VR mode under the control of the transparency control unit.

Abstract: In one implementation, a multi-mode haptic effects delivery system includes an impact surface, a mass adjacent to the impact surface, and a driving mechanism configured to reciprocate the mass. The multi-mode haptic effects delivery system also includes a motor configured to generate a vibrational mode haptic effect. The driving mechanism configured to reciprocate the mass causes the mass to strike the impact surface so as to generate a recoil mode haptic effect. In one implementation, the driving mechanism is a gear assembly powered by the same motor used to generate the vibrational mode haptic effect.
