An example method includes obtaining, a virtual model of a portion of an anatomy of a patient obtained from a virtual surgical plan for an orthopedic joint repair surgical procedure to attach a prosthetic to the anatomy; identifying, based on data obtained by one or more sensors, positions of one or more physical markers positioned relative to the anatomy of the patient; and registering, based on the identified positions, the virtual model of the portion of the anatomy with a corresponding observed portion of the anatomy.

An interactive system and method for development of the voice, preferably for singing. The system and methods provide and utilize an animated, interactive, preferably 3D, visual character for illustrating the various human physiological components involved in producing vocals, and how best to strengthen and train such components to prevent injury. The system and methods are designed to visually replicate how the human body, and more specifically the internal organs for voice, interact and synchronize muscular movements that are involved in abdominal support, release of air control, and neural stimulation, in unison with Larynx mobility and gravity.

Example embodiments may relate to a system, method, apparatus, and computer readable media configured for monitoring a user performing various athletic movements and generating performance characteristics based on the data corresponding to such athletic movements. Users may also be encouraged to participate in athletic challenges or competitions against other users or groups of users. In addition, athletic movement data for multiple persons can be collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed to a user at a desired remote location, so that the user can compare his or her athletic activities to others.

A wireless or remote thermometer connected with an artificial intelligence (AI) system. The thermometer may be in communication with a voice-activated AI system to implement operation thereof, such as a cloud-based AI system implemented on a smart audio interface. User-accessible controls for the thermometer may be activated using the voice-activated AI system on the audio interface. The thermometer may include a wireless transceiver for communication with a user. The thermometer collects temperature measurement data to remotely monitor the temperature of food or other materials. The thermometer connects and communicates wirelessly with a receiver unit, such as user smartphone, tablet, or other computerized device. The thermometer unit sends data, alerts or notifications to the delegated receiver, smart device, and/or audio interface, to the user. Communication between the thermometer and receiver unit may be through one or more communication pathways, which may be selected to provide delivery to the user device.

A narrative includes a number of serially connected narrative segments combined by a director or editor in a defined sequence to tell a story. A number of different narrative segments are available to the director or editor. A content delivery editor provides editors and directors with the ability to augment a narrative with additional narrative segments that provide alternate perspectives, views, or insights to the consumer. Such allows conveyance of the same narrative to the consumer using a number of plots or perspectives. Branch points in the narrative provide the consumer the opportunity to follow a storyline they find interesting. Each consumer follows a “personalized” path through the narrative. The director or editor may influence selection at branch points by providing priming stimuli prior to presentation of a prompt to select a branch and by optionally providing target stimuli during presentation of the prompt to select a branch.

A racing coach device stores a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, one of the first path of travel or the second path of travel that is associated with a shorter duration of time over which the user traversed a segment of the path of travel associated with each of the plurality of geolocations. The device determines an optimal path of travel along the racetrack based on the identified first and second path of travel for each segment of the path of travel at each of the plurality of geolocations that results in a calculated lap time to traverse the racetrack that is less than the first time period and the second time period.

An apparatus comprises training means to provide training with respect to behavior modification, stimulus means to provide an association with the training means, and stimulus generating means to generate a stimulus post presentation of the training means. The stimulus generating means has a plurality of potential different stimuli types with at least two stimuli in time-spaced-apart relationship to each other to create a distinct trigger as a stimulus phrase for an individual to recall the training or therapy. The stimulus generating means makes available a number of stimulus phrases to an individual user for different environments expected by an individual user so one stimulus phrase is adopted by an individual user as their distinct trigger in an environment expected by the user. The stimulus means is arranged to provide at least a part of the distinct trigger during association with the training sufficient for recall of the training or therapy.
