    Abstract: Techniques of access control in VR environments involve defining a series of gestures that users attending a private meeting within a virtual environment carry out to be allowed into the private meeting. Along these lines, when a user sets up a meeting to take place within a virtual environment, the user may define a series of gestures (e.g., swipes, circles, etc.) that may serve as an effective “secret handshake” that gains admittance to the private meeting. In one implementation, each person invited to the private meeting is given the same gesture to form in the virtual environment that provides access to the private meeting. In other implementations, each user has their own respective gesture that, when matched along with an identifier identifying that user, provides the access. Advantageously, such gestures are easily defined and executed by the users and recognized by servers that control private meetings within the virtual environment.

    Abstract: A playlist interface is provided for display on a user device, the playlist interface comprising a selectable indicator located after a first media item in a playlist, the selectable indicator presented in the playlist interface after the first media item to indicate that, upon selection, a second media item is to be added after the first media item in the playlist, wherein the second media item is an interstitial. Upon a user selection of the selectable indicator located after the first media item in the playlist interface, a plurality of user interface (UI) elements are caused to be presented to allow a user of the user device to specify configuration parameters for the interstitial being added to the playlist. User input is received for at least a subset of the plurality of UI elements to specify the configuration parameters for the interstitial. The interstitial is created based on the received configuration parameters, wherein the created interstitial is supplemental content to be added before or after one of a plurality of files of a plurality of media items of the playlist.

    Abstract: The disclosed methods and apparatus allow a lay person to easily and intuitively define virtual scenes using natural language commands and natural gestures. Natural language commands include statements that a person would naturally (e.g., spontaneously, simply, easily, intuitively, etc.) speak without any or little training. Example natural language commands include “put a cat on the box,” or “put a ball in front of the red box.” Natural gestures include gestures that a person would naturally do, perform or carry out (e.g., spontaneously, simply, easily, intuitively, etc.) without any or little training. Example natural gestures include pointing, a distance between hands, gazing, head tilt, kicking, etc. The person can simply speak and gesture how it naturally occurs to them.
