A technique for collecting environmental data from a remote region comprises use of a collector device with a sensor to collect environmental data and a memory to store the collected data. Collector devices are distributed to locations within the region, and the collector devices collect and store environmental data. Locations within the region are prioritized. Incentives are generated to transport environmental data based, at least in part, on the priorities. When a collector device is transported from the remote region to a location with connectivity to a host system, the stored environmental data is uploaded.

Sensor data collection and processing

A system for preserving or establishing an ecosystem comprises an assembly coupled to a guidance component. An assembly comprises an enclosure and a substrate, and is configured to contain one or more organisms within the enclosure. The guidance component causes the assembly to be transported to a destination environment. The assembly is decoupled from the guidance component. The assembly detaches from the substrate, to integrate the one or more organisms into an ecosystem of the destination environment.

Devices to assist ecosystem development and preservation

An underwater positioning system comprises a plurality of underwater beacons. A beacon, in response to a signal sent by an underwater vehicle, responds with a signal comprising one or more characteristics to identify the beacon. Components of an access algorithm are provided to the underwater vehicle. The access algorithm determines a location of the beacon based on the beacon's identity. A position of the vehicle is determined based at least in part on the location of the beacon.

Systems and techniques for enhancing the physical games with augmented reality is described. A system identifies a characteristic of a physical object that is located on a physical surface. The system obtains, based on the characteristic, information indicative of a rule set for the game and a state of the game based on the characteristic. A game engine is initialized based on the rule set and game state. The game engine generates a subsequent state for the game. The system renders, based on the subsequent state, an augmented reality display that incorporates the physical surface and physical object.

Physical games enhanced by augmented reality

An augmented-reality system classifies a subject observed in video data obtained from a first area. A goal of a user of an augmented reality device is determined based on video data obtained from a second area. A correlation between the goal of the user and the classification of the subject is determined. An augmented reality display is generated to include a visual indicia of the subject, the visual indicia generated to represent the correlation between the goal and the classification.

Techniques for enhancing awareness of personnel

A system for recognizing gestures generates a skeletal model from video data of a subject. A defined subset of attributes of the skeletal model are mapped to defined positions of a vector. A gesture is recognized by evaluating a neural network using the vector as input. The neural network, trained using training vectors generated according to the definitions of skeletal model attributes and vector positions, classifies a gesture based on the input vector.

Gesture recognition based on skeletal model vectors

A system for providing a virtual reality experience obtains, from a first sensor, image data of a first subject upon entry to an area. The system obtains pose information for the first subject during a period in which the subject is within the area. A graphical asset is generated from the image data. A skeletal model is maintained based on the pose information. A virtual reality scene is generated, using the asset and skeletal model, from the perspective of a second subject.

Virtual and physical reality integration

Various embodiments provide approaches for measuring the rendering times of a webpage that can be browser-independent. In at least some embodiments, as a web page is rendered, video data of the webpage is captured and analyzed to ascertain when the webpage, or portions thereof, have likely been completely rendered. In at least some embodiments, image processing can be performed on captured video data to ascertain, from observed pixel changes over time, when the webpage has likely been rendered.
