    Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) maps may be generated for different areas based on scans of the areas using sensor(s) of a mobile computing device. During each scan, locations of the mobile computing device can be measured relative to a fixed-positioned smart device using ultra-wideband communication (UWB). The 3D maps for the areas may be registered to the fixed position (i.e., anchor position) of the smart device based on the location measurements acquired during the scan so that the 3D maps can be merged into a combined 3D map. The combined (i.e., merged) 3D map may then be used to facilitate location-specific operation of the mobile computing device or other smart device.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method for sharing a collaborative augmented reality (AR) environment including obtaining, by a sensor system of a first computing system, visual data representing a physical space of an AR environment, where the visual data is used to create a three-dimensional (3D) map of the physical space. The 3D map includes a coordinate space having at least one virtual object added by a user of the first computing system. The method includes broadcasting, by a transducer on the first computing system, an ultrasound signal, where the ultrasound signal includes an identifier associated with the 3D map. The identifier is configured to be detected by a second computing system to join the AR environment.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for delivering notifications to a device or accessory based on the context. A host device may be wirelessly coupled to one or more accessories that are available to receive a notification. The host device may analyze a context for transmitting a notification, such as analyzing user attention and accessory state. Analyzing user attention and accessory state may be done by analyzing sensor data, such as audio input, image sensors, proximity sensors, etc. The host device may determine a content type, such as text, e-mail, news, or download, content classification, such as urgent, sensitive, or reminder, and a notification type, such as visual, audio, or haptic. The host device may select at least one of the accessories based on the context. The host device may transmit the notification to the selected accessory.

    Abstract: A system and method is provided that provides for the transfer of the execution of content from a user device to an external device for output of the content by the external device. External devices may be detected in a physical space, and identified based on previous connection with the user device, based on a shared network or shared system of connected devices including the user device, based on image information captured by the user device and previously stored anchoring information that identifies the external devices, and the like. An external device may be selected for potential output of the content based on previously stored configuration information associated with the external device including, for example, output capabilities associated with the external device. The identified external device may output the transferred content in response to a user verification input, verifying that the content is to be output by the external device.
