A system for timing or zone alert determination from vehicle events and/or an accident database includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a location of a translating object. The processor is configured to trigger a warning to the translating object based at least in part on its location and the existence of an associated hazard.

Timing or zone alert determination from vehicle events and/or an accident database

A system for context based alert filtering using ranked risk from vehicle events and/or an accident database includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a location of a translating object. The processor is configured to trigger a warning to the translating object based at least in part on its location and the existence of an associated hazard, wherein a secondary condition distinct from the hazard is used to determine relevance of the hazard.

Context based alert filtering using ranked risk from vehicle events and/or an accident database

A system for location risk determination and ranking based on vehicle events and/or an accident database includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive accident data and/or event data. The processor is configured to determine a set of incident groups, wherein an incident group of the set of incident groups is associated with a set of accidents of the accident data and/or a set of events of the event data that are grouped by location proximity. The processor is further configured to determine a set of traffic estimations, wherein a traffic estimation of the set of traffic estimations is associated with the incident group of the set of incident groups; and determine a ranking of the set of incident groups based at least in part on the set of accidents, the set of events, and the set of traffic estimations.

Optimizations are provided for facilitating interactions with virtual objects included within an augmented-reality scene. Initially, an augmented-reality scene is rendered for a user. Within that scene, an interactive virtual object of an application is rendered. Then, the position of the user's actual hand is determined relative to the interactive virtual object. When the user's actual hand is within a target threshold distance to the interactive virtual object, then a target visual cue is projected onto the interactive virtual object. When the user's actual hand is within an input threshold distance to the interactive virtual object, then an input visual cue is projected onto the interactive virtual object. Once the user's hand is within the input threshold distance to the interactive virtual object, then input may be provided to the application via the interactive object.

Using tracking to simulate direct tablet interaction in mixed reality

Performance and capability improvements of computer devices that provide digital images of heatmap visualizations for datasets are provided via both systems and methods. A value-color spectrum is correlated to the dataset via a multi-pass rendering. The multi-pass rendering yields a two-channel mask, which is applied to a map to show the dataset in a heatmap visualization on that map, and may be continually used as the map is manipulated by a user. User interface tools are also provided to enable a user to specify a custom value-color spectrum, how the dataset is to be aggregated, the area of effect for a data point in the visualization, the strength of effect for a data point in the visualization, and which specifies how a dataset will be visually represented in a heatmap.

Custom heatmaps

Methods and devices for displaying a virtual affordance with a virtual target are disclosed. In one example, the virtual target is displayed to a user via a display device. The user's point of gaze is determined to be at a gaze location within a target zone including the virtual target. The user's hand is determined to be at a hand location within a designated tracking volume. Based on at least determining that the user's gaze is at the gaze location and the user's hand is at the hand location, the virtual affordance is displayed at a landing location corresponding to the virtual target, where the landing location is independent of both the gaze location and the user's hand location. Movement of the user's hand is tracked and the virtual affordance is modified in response to the movement.

Virtual affordance display at virtual target

Systems and methods are provided to improve map type data visualizations in which custom images are used as background against which datasets are visualized. In various examples, coordinate systems are automatically generated and applied to the custom image based on the positional data of the dataset. The custom image may replace a pre-existing background, and the plotting of the dataset may be automatically modified based on differences between the pre-existing background and the custom image. Aspects provide for enhanced user control of the map type visualization to further modify how datasets are plotted and how visualizations are presented. Example modifications include offsets and scales, which may be automatically determined and applied or set manually. In some examples, the custom image may be part of a set of image tiles, which are operable to provide various levels of detail from several viewing angles and heights.

Techniques to synchronize structured web site content are described. An apparatus may include a server having a server synchronization module to identify structured content types shared by the server and a client, and synchronize structured content corresponding to the structured content types. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Synchronizing structured web site contents

A system and method is provided to enable an e-mail to display a Web-based form. A definition concerning an e-mail address may include form schema owned by a Web site. Alternatively, the definition may contain a link to a Web service that provides the form schema. An e-mail client may download the form schema from the Web service, preferably along with additional data such as information concerning previous e-mails sent to the e-mail address, a FAQ list concerning an e-mail distribution list if the e-mail address represents the e-mail distribution list, etc. The Web site owning the form schema may receive and process e-mail containing the form according to the metadata of the Web-based form.
