The technology described herein is directed towards mapping the storage tiers of various multi-cloud vendors to an enterprise's storage tiers and the enterprise's associated storage tier datasets, based on enterprise storage tiering definition data. Once mapped, the storage tier datasets are populated based on the vendor's per-tier metadata that are associated with the enterprise's data stored on that vendor's storage tiers. Similar mapping is performed for each other vendor's storage tiers. Once the storage tier datasets are populated based on the corresponding metadata, the metadata's variable parameters (e.g., performance metrics) for the enterprise's stored data can be presented according to the enterprise's own defined tiers and labels for the parameters. The metadata information in the datasets can be viewed per vendor and per enterprise-defined tier dataset, such as for object storage monitoring, cost comparison among different vendors' tiers, and closest vendor-to-enterprise parity comparisons of like variables.

Multi-cloud tiering translation to enterprise tiers

One example method includes providing temporary access to a computing system and to providing temporary access as a service. The features of a temporary access can be defined by an entity and a user may be able to obtain a token that includes these features, which may be embedded in the token as claims. The user's access is then controlled in accordance with the embedded claims. The temporary access as a service can be federated. The token may include trust levels and tolerance limits. Further, aspects of the temporary access can be monitored and/or changed. Adjustments to trust levels can be automated or manually performed. Further trust for specific users can be gained or lost over time based on at least previous accesses.

Systems and methods for synchronization and streaming of workspace contents with audio for collaborative virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In an embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive a control operation from a first user wearing a first head-mounted display (HMD) during a collaborative xR session with a second user, where the second user is wearing a second HMD, and is located remotely with respect to the first user; encode the control operation using a first encoding method; receive a workspace operation from the first user; encode the workspace operation using a second encoding method; aggregate the encoded control operation with the encoded workspace operation into one or more packets; and transmit the one or more packets to the second user during the collaborative xR session.

Systems and methods for handling color vision deficiencies in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In some embodiments, a hardware memory device may have program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a hardware processor of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to: apply a first set of RGB adjustments to a foreground portion of an image to be displayed by Head-Mounted Device (HMD) worn by a user; apply a second set of RGB adjustments to a background portion of the image, where the first and second set of RGB adjustments produce a visual indication of the presence of a color, in the image, that the user is incapable of naturally identifying; and display the visual indication.

Systems and methods for providing environmental safety notifications in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a host processor and a memory coupled to the host processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive an image from a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) camera configured to detect a location of a Head-Mounted Device (HMD) worn by a user during an xR application; identify a safety event based upon the image; and produce an xR object for display by the HMD, wherein the xR object indicates the safety event.

Methods for detecting and mitigating conditions associated with motion sickness and visual fatigue for users of augmented or virtual reality systems include receiving, during operation of a head-mounted display device, sensor data from inertial measurement unit sensors of the device, determining, dependent on the sensor data, that a condition associated with motion sickness or visual fatigue exists, and modifying, in response to determining that the condition exists, an operating parameter for the device to mitigate the detected condition. The sensor data may include acceleration data with respect to six degrees of freedom. Detecting a condition associated with motion sickness or visual fatigue may include comparing change rates for the sensor data to predetermined gradient thresholds. Modifying an operating parameter may include changing a rendering resolution, a spatial quality setting, or an effective field of view to, at least partially, mitigate the detected condition. The method may be repeated periodically.

Systems and methods for distinguishing between one-handed and two-handed gesture sequences in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive a gesture sequence from a user wearing a Head-Mounted Device (HMD) coupled to the IHS, where the HMD is configured to display an xR application, and identify the gesture sequence as: (i) a one-handed gesture sequence, or (ii) a two-handed gesture sequence.

An information handling system enhances end user situational awareness by selectively presenting sensed environmental conditions with tactile feedback, such as with haptic device output at a band worn on the end user's body. Tactile trigger rules apply sensed conditions to detect events that trigger a haptic device notification, such as a threat to the end user in a tactical situation that is not in the field of view of a head-mounted display or that has a lower level of significance relative to other identified threats.
