    摘要: Techniques for enhancing virtual reality using transformed real world data are disclosed. In some aspects, a composite reality engine receives a transmission of the real world data that is captured by embedded sensors situated in the real world. The real world data is transformed and integrated with virtual reality data to create a composite reality environment generated by a composite reality engine. In other aspects, the composite reality environment enables activation of embedded actuators to modify the real world from the virtual reality environment. In still further aspects, techniques for sharing sensors and actuators in the real world are disclosed.

    摘要: Sensing information from a multitude of remote sources can provide a user with a vast amount of information as well as a better granularity of the information. A user can also actuate or move remote sources to obtain the desired information or more information and/or to expend energy in a remote location with one or more of the remote sources. Thus, a swarm or large group of devices, sensors, actuators, equipment, and so on can be utilized to provide a user with a desired action.

    摘要: An implementation of location estimation using image analysis is described. In this implementation, an image of a place is obtained and matched with previously stored images. The matching may be achieved by employing methods based on key feature extraction algorithm, color histogram analysis, pattern matching or other image comparison techniques. Upon determining a match, the location information associated with the image provides the location. The location information may be in the form of location tags or location keywords and the location information may be used by the user or other applications for the purposes of location determination. The technique allows for the user to enter location information. The location information may be assigned to the previously stored images residing in local and remote databases for users and applications to assign information or keywords to images.

    摘要: Image text enhancement techniques are described. In an implementation, graphically represented text included in an original image is converted into process capable text. The process capable text may be used to generate a text image which may replace the original text to enhance the image. In further implementations the process capable text may be translated from a first language to a second language for inclusion in the enhanced image.

    摘要: Architecture for programming in a distributed computing environment where different components of a system are owned or controlled by different entities and heterogeneous in terms of resource availability and a willingness to share. Multiple devices can be programmed when a task requires human intervention. Method are described for using a tolerance level provided by the application developer to control the execution of the application instructions at multiple devices with varying resources, and for using an involvement level provided by the sensor or computing device owner for the purpose of automatically adapting the execution of application code at multiple devices to suit the individual owner's willingness to share resources, and the capabilities of resources available with that owner. Code distribution allows an application developed by one entity to be distributed to multiple devices owned by multiple entities, where each of the entities has varying connectivity, resource availability, and sharing willingness.
