Techniques are disclosed that enable processing a video capturing a periodic activity using a repetition network to generate periodic output (e.g., a period length of the periodic activity captured in the video and/or a frame wise periodicity indication of the video capturing the periodic activity). Various implementations include a class agnostic repetition network which can be used to generate periodic output for a wide variety of periodic activities. Additional or alternative implementations include generating synthetic repetition videos which can be utilized to train the repetition network.

Class agnostic repetition counting in video(s) utilizing a temporal self-similarity matrix

Systems and methods for context-sensitive hand interaction with an immersive environment are provided. An example method includes determining a contextual factor for a user and selecting an interaction mode based on the contextual factor. The example method may also include monitoring a hand of the user to determine a hand property and determining an interaction with an immersive environment based on the interaction mode and the hand property.

Context-sensitive hand interaction

In one aspect, a method and system are described for receiving input for a virtual user in a virtual environment. The input may be based on a plurality of movements performed by a user accessing the virtual environment. Based on the plurality of movements, the method and system can include detecting that at least one portion of the virtual user is within a threshold distance of a collision zone, the collision zone being associated with at least one virtual object. The method and system can also include selecting a collision mode for the virtual user based on the at least one portion and the at least one virtual object and dynamically modifying the virtual user based on the selected collision mode.
