Systems and methods are presented herein for emulating a petrol-based vehicle package via an electrically powered vehicle. Processing circuitry is used to identify a vehicle profile of the electrically powered vehicle. The vehicle profile comprises at least one data structure that stores emulation capabilities of the electrically powered vehicle. An emulation profile of the petrol-based vehicle package is retrieved from a data store and the emulation profile includes at least one data structure comprising instructions for rendering a vehicle characteristic of the petrol-based vehicle via the electrically powered vehicle. The vehicle profile is compared to the emulation profile. The emulation profile is transmitted to an electronic control unit in response to determining the vehicle profile is compatible with the emulation profile. The electronic control unit generates instructions for rendering one or more elements of the emulation profile based on a current operation state of the electrically powered vehicle.

Systems and methods are described herein for updating a representation of a virtual payment card in response to a virtual transaction between a first device (e.g., a user device) and a second device (e.g., a merchant point-of-sale device). The systems and methods may be used to authenticate user identity with an additional layer of security and/or combat phishing attempts intended to dupe users into disclosing confidential profile information. In response to a completed transaction, the second device delivers interactivity data (e.g., animation data, card image data, contextual data, notification sound data, etc.) to the first device, which actuates a distinct representation (e.g., an animation, a graphic image, a notification sound, etc.) of the card image of the virtual payment card used in the completed transaction.

Providing bitrate control for delivering media content to a plurality of virtual display (VD) screens presented in a virtual reality (VR) environment effectuated by a VR device of a subscriber based on detecting a movement in a point of view with respect the VD screens' placement within the VR environment. Each VD screen is configured to receive a media content channel. Responsive to detecting the movement, angular distance of each of the VD screens relative to a reference axis is computed. Weights to each of the media content channels may be assigned or updated based on the angular distance of the corresponding VD screens relative to the reference axis. Bandwidth of a managed bandwidth pipe may be (re)allocated based on the relative weights of the media content channels for delivering the media content channels to the subscriber's VR environment responsive to selecting single bitrates for the media channels.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described herein for generating, for presentation at a particular computing device, a display of a live program and determining that the display of the live program at the particular computing device is delayed in relation to a live program stream of the live program. Interactive content related to a particular event that is to occur in the live program stream of the live program may be received, the interactive content enabling selection of a predicted outcome of the particular event. Prior to presentation of the particular event in the display of the live program at the particular computing device, the interactive content may be generated for presentation at the particular computing device, and a selection of the predicted outcome is received. Based on determining an outcome of the particular event, an indication of whether the predicted outcome was correct may be generated for presentation.

Systems and methods for providing interactive content during a presentation of a live program

System and method are provided for pre-generated inverse audio canceling. A system may identify source audio content that a first device is playing via a first speaker, retrieve pre-generated inverse audio content associated with the identified audio content, modify at least a portion of the retrieved inverse audio content, and cause the modified inverse audio content to be played in synchronization with the identified source audio content to attenuate at least a portion of the source audio content that is playing via the first speaker.

An extended reality (XR) head-mounted device (HMD) is disclosed. The XR HMD comprises input/output (I/O) circuitry and control circuitry, where the control circuitry is configured to provide an application to a user wearing the XR HMD, connect the XR HMD to at least one mobile device associated with the user based on input capabilities of the mobile device, and wherein the I/O circuitry is configured to establish a connection between the mobile device and the XR HMD and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to cause the mobile device to be unlocked, receive an indication of input from the mobile device, and based on the received indication of input, perform an action in relation to the application being provided via the XR HMD.

Systems and methods are presented herein for creating and rendering supplemental content of a selectable product icon of an e-commerce interface in response to user interaction with the selectable product icon. A list of products with a plurality of selectable icons is retrieved from a server based on at least one parameter of a query from an identified first device. The first device is determined to be communicatively coupled to at least one secondary device. Using an artificial intelligence generative engine, supplemental content corresponding to one or more products is generated based on device information of the at least one secondary device. In response to determining that a position of the at least one selectable icon is within a threshold distance of the subset of the list of products displayed or is being displayed, instructions are transmitted to the at least one secondary device to render the supplemental content.

Spatially augmented audio and XR content within an e-commerce shopping experience

Systems and methods are provided herein for detecting key words provided by ancillary devices and acquiring virtual objects based on the detected key words. This may be accomplished by a system displaying an augmented reality view to a user and detecting a received message. The system can determine whether a portion of the message corresponds to an augmented reality object. In response to detecting that the portion of the message corresponds to the augmented reality object, the system can display the augmented reality object in the augmented reality view in a first format. The first format can be based on the environment around the user.

Two or more sensors positioned at a wheel of a stopped vehicle may detect an unwanted substance, and transmit signals, based on which a height level of the substance is determined. The system may also determine a type of the substance, such as water, snow, sand or mud, based on electrical resistance of the substance detected by the sensors. Cameras or other imaging equipment, including LIDAR, may also be used to determine the substance height and/or composition. Accordingly, actions to protect the vehicle may be taken, such as raising or lowering the ride height of the vehicle body using an adjustable suspension of the vehicle. Other protective actions may include closing vents, seals, valves and battery isolation units, and transmitting messages to a vehicle driver and/or to emergency personnel.

Systems and methods are provided for creating enhanced VR content. The system generates, for display on a user device, a view of a virtual 3D environment. The system receives, from the user device, a request to capture the view of the virtual 3D environment. The system accesses data used to generate the view of the virtual 3D environment for display on the user device. The system accesses additional data of the virtual 3D environment other than the data used to generate the view of the virtual 3D environment for display on the user device. The system generates an image based on (a) the data used to generate the view of the virtual 3D environment for display on the user device, and (b) the additional data of the virtual 3D environment.
