    摘要: Technologies for natural language interactions with virtual personal assistant systems include a computing device configured to capture audio input, distort the audio input to produce a number of distorted audio variations, and perform speech recognition on the audio input and the distorted audio variants. The computing device selects a result from a large number of potential speech recognition results based on contextual information. The computing device may measure a user's engagement level by using an eye tracking sensor to determine whether the user is visually focused on an avatar rendered by the virtual personal assistant. The avatar may be rendered in a disengaged state, a ready state, or an engaged state based on the user engagement level. The avatar may be rendered as semitransparent in the disengaged state, and the transparency may be reduced in the ready state or the engaged state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: An embodiment of an augmented reality model placement apparatus may include a location identifier to identify one or more candidate locations in a three-dimensional (3D) model for an augmented reality (AR) model based on the 3D model, the AR model, and placement constraints for the AR model, a location ranker communicatively coupled to the location identifier to assign respective ranks to the one or more identified candidate locations based on placement ranking criteria, and a location selector communicatively coupled to the location ranker to select a placement location for the AR model from the one or more identified candidate locations. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

    摘要: Improved techniques for context information management are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor element, a selection component for execution by the processor element to select a context information item, a random number generator to generate a random number, and an anonymization component for execution by the processor element to generate a random key based on the random number and send a message associating the context information item with the random key. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Technologies for extensible, context-aware natural language interactions include a computing device having a number of context source modules. Context source modules may be developed or installed after deployment of the computing device to a user. Each context source module includes a context capture module, a language model, one or more database query mappings, and may include one or more user interface element mappings. The context capture module interprets, generates, and stores context data. A virtual personal assistant (VPA) of the computing device indexes the language models and generates a semantic representation of a user request that associates each word of the request to a language model. The VPA translates the user request into a database query, and may generate a user interface element for the request. The VPA may execute locally on the computing device or remotely on a cloud server. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
