An object that moves, which is depicted in a video, can be identified. Radial lines emanating from the object can be rendered in an enhanced video. Responsive to detecting a first movement of the object indicating a size of the object is increasing in the video, a length of each of the radial lines can be increased. Responsive to detecting a second movement of the object indicating the size of the object is decreasing in the video, the length of each of the radial lines can be decreased. Responsive to detecting a third movement of the object, in a two-dimensional plane, the length of a first portion of the radial lines emanating from a leading surface of the object can be decreased while the length of a second portion of the radial lines emanating from a trailing surface of the object can be increased.

User-specific augmentation of a real word field of view viewable through an augmented reality (AR) device is facilitated by a processor(s) receiving image data representative of a real world field of view viewable by a user through the AR device, and receiving sensor data indicative of the user's stress level, which is related, at least in part, to the user's real world field of view viewable through the AR device. The processor(s) processes the image data, based on the user's stress level, to identify one or more stress-inducing elements to be hidden in the real world field of view viewable through the AR device. Further, the processor(s) provides an augmented real world field of view for display to the user through the AR device, where the one or more stress-inducing elements are hidden from the user in the augmented real world field of view.

In response to receiving a request from a user device for an on-demand crossing of a roadway at a geo-location, a method determines whether connected vehicles on the roadway are approaching the geo-location. A wait-to-cross-the-roadway message is sent to the user's device. In response to determining connected vehicles are approaching the geo-location, a direction, distance, and speed of connected vehicles relative to the geo-location are determined. Instructions are sent to the connected vehicles to reduce speed and allow the user to cross the roadway, including a message to the user device explaining a purpose of the instructions. In response to determining the one or more connected vehicles comply with the instructions, the one or more processors send a safe-to-cross message to the user, and upon detecting successful roadway crossing of the user device, instructing the connected vehicles to resume travel.

On-demand roadway crossing

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for providing a personalized anxiety-reducing navigation system for a user utilizing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is provided. The present invention may include detecting a current location of the user. The present invention may then include, in response to detecting the current location of the user is beyond a comfort boundary threshold, determining a stress state of the user. The present invention may also activate an AR system. The present invention may further, in response to determining the determined stress state of the user is high, activate a VR system.

Predictive navigation system

A voice-controlled device monitors content delivered to a user through a non-interactive or unidirectional medium, such as broadcast television or radio. Each time the device recognizes delivered content that includes an advertisement or solicitation, the device records information identifying the content and the time at which the content is delivered. The device also listens for environmental audio cues suggesting that a user has performed a desired action in response to viewing or hearing the recognized content. If the device determines that a user response has occurred within a predetermined duration of time after a corresponding advertisement or solicitation, the device correlates the response with the content. The device then performs a corresponding activity, such as notifying the content-delivery service that a royalty should be collected from the content's source; directly transferring a royalty from the source's account to the service's account; or updating response-rate statistics associated with the content.

Virtual interactivity for a broadcast content-delivery medium

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants. One or more cameras on a vehicle identify a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle. The one or more cameras identify a focused eye state of the driver. One or more object recognition sensors on the vehicle identify objects around the vehicle. The computer system determines whether an object is identified in the gaze direction. In response to the object being identified in the gaze direction, the computer system instructs a light indicator to emit light in a direction toward the object. The light indicator notifies a traffic participant associated with the object that the driver has seen the object.

Sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants

Mechanisms are provided to implement a location identification mechanism to identify a location or route for a user. A starting location of the user is identified in response to receiving a set of details from the user including at least a target location. A three-dimensional model of an area around the starting location, an area around the target location, and an area between the starting location and the target location is generated and current local weather and forecasted local weather associated with the starting location, the target location, and the area between the starting location and the target location is identified. Anticipated wind flow and temperatures within the generated three-dimensional model are simulated to identify a route from the starting location to the target location that meets a set of personal preferences of the user. The identified route is then presented on a user-selected navigation application.
