Described herein are systems and methods for maintaining color calibration using common objects. In an exemplary embodiment, an AR system includes a forward-facing camera, an AR display, a processor, and a user interface. The processor is configured to receive image data from the forward-facing camera and identify any known objects depicted in the image data. The processor then determines RGB information at least one test rendering of the identified known object and displays it via the AR display. Input from a user interface, indicating which of the at least one test renderings was a closest match to the real-world object, and a level of satisfaction with the match are received by the processor and used to update an AR display color calibration model. More test renderings may be iteratively provided to improve the accuracy of the calibration.

Method and system for maintaining color calibration using common objects

A wireless hub device may receive wireless signals associated with a plurality of audio or visual output (A/V) devices for registering with a wireless hub system, wherein the plurality of A/V devices are configured into a plurality of zones. The wireless hub device may receive a command and transmit signals to a plurality of A/V devices in one of the zones so that the plurality of A/V devices are calibrated within the zone. The plurality of A/V devices are calibrated to adjust a specific role of each speaker within an audio system.

Audio or visual output (A/V) devices registering with a wireless hub system

A wireless hub device may receive wireless signals associated with a plurality of audio or visual output (A/V) devices for registering with a wireless hub system, wherein the plurality of A/V devices are configured into a plurality of zones. The wireless hub device may receive a command and transmit signals to a plurality of A/V devices in one of the zones so that the plurality of A/V devices are calibrated within the zone. The wireless hub device may receive a command and transmit signals to the plurality of A/V devices in the one zone so that an output level of the plurality of the A/V devices in the one zone is increased or decreased.

Systems and methods are described for simulating motion parallax in 360-degree video. In an exemplary embodiment for producing video content, a method includes obtaining a source video, based on information received from a client device, determining a selected number of depth layers, producing, from the source video, a plurality of depth layer videos corresponding to the selected number of depth layers, wherein each depth layer video is associated with at least one respective depth value, and wherein each depth layer video includes regions of the source video having depth values corresponding to the respective associated depth value, and sending the plurality of depth layer videos to the client device.

Systems and methods are provided for implementing a device-independent scene in a home automation environment. One embodiment is a method comprising receiving information regarding a home-independent home automation scene, the information identifying a zone property and an identified zone type; identifying, in the designated home, a zone corresponding to the identified zone type; identifying at least one home automation device capable of affecting the zone property in the identified zone; for each of the identified devices, identifying a device state of the respective device that contributes to the zone property; storing a home-automation scene for the designated home, wherein the home-automation scene comprises information identifying the at least one identified devices and the respective identified device states of those devices; and in response to user selection of the stored home-automation scene, causing the at least one identified device to perform the respective identified actions.

System and method for utilization of device-independent scenes in a smart home environment

A wireless hub is configured to receive a plurality of video channels and to present the plurality of video channels on at least one display as a wide-angle video. The wireless hub is further configured to graphically display a plurality of speaker positions and control configuration of speakers of the speaker positions based on a provided speaker configuration parameter. The wireless hub is configured to transfer data with a plurality of wireless devices and display data from the wireless devices on the display screen and to communicate with a cellular phone and display on the display device caller ID information of an incoming telephone call on the at least one display device. The wireless hub is further configured to receive voice command information and control devices of the wireless hub system in response to the received voice commands.

Voice operated control device

A network system for accessing situation related information is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a network connection for receiving an indication of an occurrence of a situation; a situational network formed based on the occurrence of the situation, the situational network including a plurality of participant devices determined to be geographically proximate to the situation, each of the participant devices corresponding to a participant in the situational network; a second network connection for presenting a roll call query to each of the plurality of participant devices soliciting a reply related to a status of the participant; a plurality of network connections established for receiving a status response from the participant devices; and a database for aggregating the status responses from responsive participants into a roll call list.

Method and system for using a situational network

A wireless hub is configured to receive device identification information for each of a plurality of different devices. The wireless hub is further configured to access a database and obtain command codes for controlling the different devices and to transmit command codes based on the obtained command codes to control the different devices. The wireless hub is configured, in response to detect a gesture using motion detection of a user of the wireless hub, to control presentation of video content by a video display.

A wireless device may receive from a source device an instruction to present program content. The wireless device may determine device types missing from an entertainment system based on supporting playback of the program content. A device type missing from the entertainment system may be registered. An instruction may be transmitted to an active source device to increment or decrement a counter. The counter may represent a total number of zones that receives data from the active source device.

Voice operated remote control

A control device may transmit electrical signals to a wireless hub to control of a display device, in a first zone, registered to the wireless hub. The control device may receive, from the wireless hub based on a user initiated source change, a control signal to assign buttons for control of the display device. The control device may transmit to the wireless hub a first signal, based on a voice command, to control content and a second signal, based on a gesture command, for a source change on the display device.

A wireless device may communicate, using short range communication in a low power mode, a poll to a sink device for display. The wireless device may communicate content to display on the sink device using a WiFi network and to communicate, by utilization of the WiFi network, a notification of an incoming call. Caller identification associated with the incoming call may be displayed on a display of the wireless device and a sink device.
