Abstract: A privacy preserving sensor apparatus is described herein. The privacy preserving sensor apparatus includes a microphone that is configured to output a signal that is indicative of audio in an environment. The privacy preserving sensor apparatus further includes feature extraction circuitry integrated in the apparatus with the microphone, the feature extraction circuitry configured to extract features from the signal output by the microphone that are usable to detect occurrence of an event in the environment, wherein the signal output by the microphone is unable to be reconstructed based solely upon the features.

Abstract: The cross-modal sensor fusion technique described herein tracks mobile devices and the users carrying them. The technique matches motion features from sensors on a mobile device to image motion features obtained from images of the device. For example, the acceleration of a mobile device, as measured by an onboard internal measurement unit, is compared to similar acceleration observed in the color and depth images of a depth camera. The technique does not require a model of the appearance of either the user or the device, nor in many cases a direct line of sight to the device. The technique can operate in real time and can be applied to a wide variety of ubiquitous computing scenarios.

Abstract: Dynamic haptic retargeting can be implemented using world warping techniques and body warping techniques. World warping is applied to improve an alignment between a virtual object and a physical object, while body warping is applied to redirect a user's motion to increase a likelihood that a physical hand will reach the physical object at the same time a virtual representation of the hand reaches the virtual object. Threshold values and/or a combination of world warping a body warping can be used to mitigate negative impacts that may be caused by using either technique excessively or independently.

Abstract: Pen and computing device sensor correlation technique embodiments correlate sensor signals received from various grips on a touch-sensitive pen and touches to a touch-sensitive computing device in order to determine the context of such grips and touches and to issue context-appropriate commands to the touch sensitive pen or the touch-sensitive computing device. A combination of concurrent sensor inputs received from both a touch-sensitive pen and a touch-sensitive computing device are correlated. How the touch-sensitive pen and the touch-sensitive computing device are touched or gripped are used to determine the context of their use and the user's intent. A context-appropriate user interface action based can then be initiated. Also the context can be used to label metadata.

Abstract: Techniques and architectures involve operating an array of slide projectors having respective brightnesses controlled by a computer. Such an array of slide projectors may be arranged to project their respective images onto a surface so that the respective images substantially overlap with one another on the surface and produce an integrated image. By judicious selection of slides and by judicious control of the brightness of the respective slide projectors, such an integrated image may render a video or an appearance of motion or other dynamic effect.
