    摘要: An electronic device includes a communication device electronically communicating with a content presentation companion device operating as a primary display for the electronic device and at least one augmented reality companion device. One or more sensors detect multiple persons within an environment while the content presentation companion device operates as the primary display. One or more processors redirect an event notification intended for presentation on the primary display to the augmented reality companion device while both the content presentation companion device operates as the primary display for the electronic device and the multiple persons are within the environment of the electronic device. When communicating with two augmented reality companion devices, the one or more processors can direct subtitles associated with a content offering, sometimes in different languages, to at least a first augmented reality companion device and a second augmented reality companion device.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating virtual reality scenes from a textual document. The textual document is parsed to identify a plurality of text portions corresponding to a plurality of scenes. Each of the plurality of text portions is analyzed to identify a plurality of nouns and a plurality of related verbs. A virtual reality (VR) scene including a plurality of VR objects depicted as performing a set of actions is generated for each of the plurality of text portions, based on the nouns and related verbs identified in the corresponding text portion. Each VR scene includes at least one portal which a user may interact with to view another VR scene and the set of actions in a VR scene may be repeated while the VR scene is being viewed.

    摘要: An output control apparatus is communicable with a communication apparatus through a communication network. The communication apparatus includes a first image capturing device configured to capture a subject at a remote site to acquire a first image and a second image capturing device configure to capture a part of the subject to acquire a second image. The output control apparatus includes circuitry to: receive the first image transmitted from the communication apparatus; output the received first image so as to be displayed on a display; receive, from the communication apparatus, the second image acquired by capturing a part of the subject corresponding to a display position of the first image displayed on the display; output the received second image so as to be displayed on the display; and control the display to display the first image and the second image that are output.

    摘要: A wallpaper system presents a first wallpaper image of a wallpaper video to a user and receives, via a user input device, one or both of: (i) a spatial user input selection, and (ii) a time user input selection from the user to apply to the wallpaper video. In response to detecting one or both of: (i) the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the time user input selection, the wallpaper system determines one or both of: (i) a respective spatial movement parameter within a wallpaper video associated with the spatial user input selection, and (ii) a respective time coordinate within the wallpaper video associated with the time user input selection. Wallpaper system presents, via the image display, a second wallpaper image associated with one or both of: (i) the respective spatial movement parameter, and (ii) the respective time coordinate.
