System and method for presenting virtual reality content to a user
10897606 · 2021-01-19 · ·

This disclosure describes a system configured to present primary and secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content to a user. Primary virtual reality content may be displayed to a user, and, responsive to the user turning his view away from the primary virtual reality content, a sensory cue is provided to the user that indicates to the user that his view is no longer directed toward the primary virtual reality content, and secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content may be displayed to the user. Primary virtual reality content may resume when the user returns his view to the primary virtual reality content. Primary virtual reality content may be adjusted based on a user's interaction with the secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content. Secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content may be adjusted based on a user's progression through the primary virtual reality content, or interaction with the primary virtual reality content.

Computer program, method, and system for managing multiple data recording devices

A multiple recording device management system including an intermediate multiple recording device managing apparatus, a vehicle recording device mounted in a police vehicle and synced to the managing apparatus, and a personal recording device carried by a police officer and wirelessly synced to the managing apparatus. The managing apparatus is operable to detect when the vehicle recording device, personal recording device, or any other synced device in range has begun recording and to transmit a communication signal to any synced recording device in range indicating that the recording device should begin recording and to further transmit a time stamp to synced recording devices for corroborating recorded data.

Audio device including non-contact power feeding mechanism

An audio device includes a base portion a power supply circuit arranged on the base portion and configured to output electric power; a rotation body rotatably supported by the base portion and configured to, upon rotation of the rotation body, move a playback point of a piece of music; an electric circuit arranged on the rotation body; and a non-contact power feeding mechanism configured to supply in a non-contact manner the electric power output by the power supply circuit to the electric circuit in which the non-contact power feeding mechanism is arranged on a path from the power supply circuit to the electric circuit.

Assembled voice interaction

Assembled voice interaction techniques are leveraged in a digital medium environment. During a voice interaction with a voice assistant platform, user portions and voice assistant portions of a voice interaction with a voice assistant platform are received and stored in a sequential order. The user portions of the voice interaction, for example, may correspond to audio data or text data indicative of speech included as part of a request to the voice assistant platform. In contrast, the voice assistant portions of the voice interaction may correspond to output content returned by the voice assistant platform for output as part of a response to the request. An assembled voice interaction file is assembled by interleaving the stored user portions of the voice interaction with the stored voice assistant portions of the voice interaction based on the sequential order.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING SELECTIVE BACKTRACKING DATA RECORDING

Systems and methods can support a data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can include a data processor that is associated with a data capturing device on a stationary object and/or a movable object. The data processor can receive data in a data flow from one or more data sources, wherein the data flow is configured based on a time sequence. Then, the data processor can receive a control signal, which is associated with a first timestamp, wherein the first timestamp indicates a first time. Furthermore, the data processor can determine a first data segment by applying the first timestamp on the data flow, wherein the first data segment is associated with a time period in the time sequence that includes the first time.
