Audio enhancement systems, devices, methods, and computer program products are disclosed. In particular embodiments, audio is separated by source at an auxiliary processing device, primary voice presence and/or relevancy per source is determined and used to determine enhancement data that is sent to one or more earpieces and used for enhancing audio at the earpiece. These and other embodiments are disclosed herein.

Separating and recombining audio for intelligibility and comfort

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the generation and presentation of merchant insights to a brick-and-mortar merchant. More specifically, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to detecting and identifying users visiting a merchant's retail location, determining product preferences of the identified users that relate to the merchant, and providing merchant insights to the merchant based on the determined product preferences.

Providing insights to a merchant

An online system provides a virtual world including a plurality of locations spatially distributed throughout the virtual world. The online system receives sponsorship requests for generating locations in the virtual world associated with one or more advertisers. A sponsorship request identifies a position in the virtual world for presenting the location and a bid amount specifying an amount of compensation to the online system for presenting the location at the position in the virtual world. When an opportunity to present a location at a position in the virtual world to a user is identified, the online system selects a location from the received sponsorship request for presentation at the position based at least in part on the bid amounts of the sponsorship requests.

Placing locations in a virtual world

One or more embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for improving a user experience related to interacting with content using multiple client devices and/or mediums. For example, a persistent activity system can receive activity data for a user from a client device. The persistent activity system can generate state information based on the received activity data. Further, the persistent activity system can provide the state information to another client device and/or medium to enable the user to seamlessly resume the user's activity on the other client device and/or medium.

Providing persistent activity sessions across client devices

A hearing aid system and method is disclosed. Disclosed embodiments provide for low latency enhanced audio using a hearing aid earpiece and an auxiliary processing unit wirelessly connected to the earpiece. These and other embodiments are disclosed herein.

Low latency audio enhancement

An online system generates a virtual world including objects, representations of users, and locations for presentation to online system users. The virtual world includes a virtual store including a plurality of objects for presentation to a user. To generate the virtual store, the online system retrieves information associated with the user and selects objects for inclusion in the virtual store based on the retrieved information. For example, the online system selects objects in which the user has expressed an interest or objects in which other users connected to the user have expressed an interest. The information associated with the user may also be used to determine positions of the selected object relative to each other or relative to a position of the user in the virtual store. After selecting and positioning the objects, the online system communicates the virtual store to a client device for presentation to the user.

Configuring a virtual store based on information associated with a user by an online system

An online system provides objects for presentation to a user via a virtual world, each object having an organic appearance for display. The online system receives sponsorship requests for sponsoring appearances of one or more objects in the virtual world. A sponsorship request includes information describing a sponsored appearance of an object and a bid amount identifying compensation to the online system for using the sponsored appearance. When presenting an object to a user via the virtual world, the online system selects an appearance for the object from the object's organic appearance and one or more sponsored appearances based on characteristics of the user and bid amounts in the sponsorship requests including the sponsored appearances. The online system then presents the object to a user via the virtual world using the selected appearance.
