A system for four-dimensional e-commerce and interconnectivity has a mobile device, an API server, a catalogue management tool, and a database. The mobile device has a user interface configured to present consumable content having at least four dimensions on a display having two dimensions. The user interface has an interactive spherical icon associated with the consumable content.

Various input modes and output modes may be used for a three-dimensional (3D) environment. A user may use a particular input mode (e.g., text, audio, video, etc.) for animating a 3D avatar of the user in the 3D environment. The user may use a particular output mode (e.g., text, audio, 3D animation, etc.) in the presentation of the 3D environment. The input/output modes may change based on conditions such as a location of the user.

A device that includes an extended reality application is employed by a user to access an extended reality environment. A selection of a first subset of dashboard panels included in a plurality of dashboard panels is received via an input device associated with the extended reality environment. Each dashboard panel included in the plurality of dashboard panels includes a visual representation of data. The first subset of dashboard panels is displayed in a foreground area of a workspace of the XR environment. A second subset of dashboard panels included in the plurality of dashboard panels is displayed in a background area of the workspace of the XR environment.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method of operating a multi-screen virtual reality environment. The computer-implemented method includes performing a wall arrangement and transmission (WA&T) protocol that includes receiving at a second module a function transmitted by a first module over a network to the second module. The second module and the function received over the network are used to generate priority data that identifies a priority of each of a plurality of individual video streams generated by a plurality of video sources. Based at least in part on the priority, the second module is used to generate reduced-size video streams that include selected ones of the plurality of individual video streams. The second module transmits the priority data and a multi-screen video stream that includes the reduced-size video streams and non-reduced-size video streams of the plurality of individual video streams.

A system receives signals indicating positions of a position indicator and indicating of a surface of a physical object. The system obtains a description of a portion of the surface of the physical object based on the signals indicating the positions of the position indicator and the surface of the physical object. The system also determines whether the position indicator is on or over the portion of the surface of the physical object based on the signals indicating the positions of the position indicator. Responsive to determining that the position indicator is on or over the portion of the surface of the physical object, the system obtains and stores coordinates corresponding to an input gesture based on the signals indicating the positions of the position indicator. Accordingly, the position indicator can be used as an input device while disposed on or over an arbitrary physical surface.

The disclosed system generates a three dimensional virtual space that includes an object representation of at least a portion of a human body and a first three-dimensional cylindrical surface floating within the three-dimensional space, wherein the first three-dimensional cylindrical surface includes a two-dimensional data area for a presentation of data to a user viewing the first three-dimensional cylindrical surface in the three-dimensional space. A two-dimensional data representation of first physiological data is displayed on the two-dimensional data area. In response to receiving a user selection of a portion of the three-dimensional cylindrical surface, the system generates one or more additional surfaces floating within the three-dimensional space. A two-dimensional data representation of second physiological data associated with the first physiological data is displayed on a data area of the one or more additional surfaces.

Each interesting location on a screen of a portable unit is marked by a transparent flag or marker. Then, when the user scales up (magnifies the image) the map to view one of the locations, transparent arrows are placed on the screen identified with transparent location markers indicating the direction the user needs to move to arrive at the remaining locations marked earlier by markers. Either the portable unit can be moved while the map remains stationary or the device remains stationary while the map is moved by the touch screen. By following each transparent arrow, which constantly calculates the new direction as the view of the map changes, the user arrives at the desired location, often in a shortest distance, without getting lost. Once this location is viewed, the user can then proceed to follow a second transparent arrow corresponding to a second desired location. This can be done for each marked location without changing the scale or entering new search data terms since all transparent arrows (markers) can be shown on the screen. An option can exist where the user moves to the marked location immediately by issuing a verbal or physical command.

System and methods are provided for displaying dynamic content on a graphical user interface. A first data illustration of a first facet of data is displayed in a first two-dimensional interface, wherein the first two-dimensional interface corresponds to a side or cross-section of a three-dimensional interface, and the first two-dimensional interface displays a plurality of filters for the first data illustration. A selection for one of the plurality of filters and a selection to display a second facet of data are received from a user. A dynamic rotation of the three-dimensional interface to a second side or cross-section that corresponds to a second two-dimensional interface is displayed, wherein a second data illustration of the second facet of data is displayed in the second interface, the second data illustration being filtered according to the selected filter.

A communications pathway between a data handling system and a physical input device can be established. The system can include one or more processors, memories, and program instructions. The device can be a physical object having N faces along an axis of rotation. The N faces can include a display. A content item from an ordered dataset of content items can be presented within a field of a graphical user interface of the display. A number of discrete items in the ordered dataset of content items is M, where M is greater than N. Rotations of the object can be detected along the axis of rotation. Each rotation of one of the N faces can results in navigation through the dataset of content items. Responsive to each navigation through the dataset of items can result in a corresponding presentation of the navigated to one of the items within the field.

A camera 14 acquires a background image B0, and a virtual object acquisition unit 22 acquires a virtual object S0. A display information acquisition unit 23 acquires display information indicating a position, at which the virtual object S0 is displayed, from the background image B0, and a display control unit 24 displays the virtual object S0 on a display 15 based on the display information. A change information acquisition unit 25 acquires change information for changing the display state of the virtual object S0 according to the relative relationship between a reference marker image 36 and each of the other marker images 37, among a plurality of marker images 36 and 37 for changing the display state of the virtual object S0 that are included in the background image B0. A display state change unit 26 changes the display state of the virtual object according to the change information.
