Abstract:
In one aspect, a method for operating a virtual agent will be described. An interaction context is obtained. An agent state is determined based on the obtained interaction context. The agent state indicates an activity of the virtual agent. The emotion of the virtual agent is updated based on the obtained interaction context, the determined agent state and/or a personality of the virtual agent. One or more behaviors are selected. Each behavior involves or indicates a change in an appearance of the virtual agent or generation of audio. Various embodiments relate to devices, servers, software and systems arranged to implement one or more of the above operations.
Abstract:
Various devices, arrangements and methods for managing communications using a head mounted display device are described. In one aspect, tracking data is generated at least in part by one or more sensors in a head mounted display (HMD) device. The tracking data indicates one or more facial movements of a user wearing the HMD device. A patch image is obtained based on the tracking data. The patch image is merged with a facial image. Various embodiments relate to the HMD device and other methods for generating and using the patch and facial images.

Abstract:
Embodiments provide a method for maintaining digital assets of a user. The digital assets reside on at least one device and/or at least one cloud. The method further comprises aggregating the digital assets, and obtaining information identifying digital assets available for access by an access device. The digital assets available for access by the access device include a digital asset residing on a cloud or on a device other than the access device.
Abstract:
A computing system is operable to contain a security module within an operating system. This security module may then act to monitor access requests by a web browser and apply mandatory access control security policies to such requests. It will be appreciated that the security module can apply mandatory access control security policies to such web browser access attempts.
