Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presenting, in a mixed reality (MR) session, a three-dimensional portal object in a first orientation and present, a first window on a first surface of the three-dimensional portal object, the first window being associated with a first mixed reality (MR) scene. The instructions further configure the device to determine, based on the first orientation and a mapping between windows and surfaces of the three-dimensional portal object, a second window to be queued, wherein the second window becomes presentable upon a change from the first orientation to a second orientation of the three-dimensional portal object in the MR session and being associated with a second MR scene. Additionally, the instructions may further configure the device to queue data usable to present the second window and the second MR scene prior to the change from the first orientation to the second orientation.

Multi-sided 3D portal

Described herein are techniques for receiving, from a first device, first data about a physical object located in a physical space. The techniques further including storing, in a catalog of objects generated for the physical space, information about the physical object and indicating at least a first location of the physical object in the physical space. The techniques include receiving, from a second device, second data about the physical space, the second data sent from the second device upon or after an occurrence of an event. The techniques include determining, based on the second data, at least an impact area of the event to the physical space and determining, based on the catalog of objects and the second data, whether the physical object is impacted by the event. The techniques include causing an output indicating whether the physical object is impacted by the event.

Virtualizing objects using object models and object position data

Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for issuing commands to an electronic device as well as techniques for transferring a device key to a user device associated with a user who has gained authorization to issue commands to the electronic device. In some embodiments, a device key may be conveyed directly from an access device to a user device. In some embodiments, the device key may be conveyed to a user device by a mobile application server which is in communication with the user device upon receiving an indication that an operator of the user device is authorized to issue commands to the electronic device.

Benefit denial system for unlocking an electronic device

Described herein are a system and methods for efficiently using depth and image information for a space to generate a 3D representation of that space. In some embodiments, an indication of one or more points is received with respect to image information, which is then mapped to corresponding points within depth information. A boundary may then be calculated to be associated with each of the points based on the depth information at, and surrounding, each point. Each of the boundaries are extended outward until junctions are identified as bounding the boundaries in a direction. The system may determine whether the process is complete or not based on whether any of the calculated boundaries are currently unlimited in extent in any direction. Once the system determines that each of the boundaries is limited in extent, a 3D representation of the space may be generated based on the identified junctions and/or boundaries.

Spatial construction using guided surface detection

Techniques described herein are directed toward enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments a transferee device may receive a first request to obtain access rights for an electronic device associated with a transferor device. The transferor device may receive a second request to grant access rights for the electronic device. Embodiments may include receiving, at the transferee device, a device key associated with the electronic device and storing the device key in association with the electronic device. Embodiments may further include issuing a command from at least one of the transferee or transferor devices to unlock the electronic device, and causing the electronic device to comply with the command to unlock if the at least one of the transferee or transferor devices that issues the command has access to the device key when the command is issued.

Systems and techniques for trans-account device key transfer in benefit denial system

Described herein are a system and methods for generating a record of objects, as well as respective positions for those objects, with respect to a user. In some embodiments, a user may use a user device to scan an area that includes one or more objects. The one or more objects may be identified from image information obtained from the user device. Positional information for each of the one or more objects may be determined from depth information obtained from a depth sensor installed upon the user device. In some embodiments, the one or more objects may be mapped to object models stored in an object model database. The image information displayed on the user device may be augmented so that it depicts the object models associated with the one or more objects instead of the actual objects.

Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments of the system, a first user (e.g., a transferor) may, upon determining that access rights should be granted to a second user (e.g., a transferee), generate a transaction record. The transaction record may then be provided to a registry network, which may verify a digital signature of the transaction record as well as a current ownership status. Upon verification, the transaction record may be written to an ownership registry and a mobile application server may be notified of the transaction. Once notified, the mobile application server may transmit a device key to a user device associated with the transferee. Once the device key has been received at the transferee user device, it may be used to issue commands to the electronic device.
