Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, and computer program products for generating virtual avatars and optimizing video data transmission in a virtual reality environment. A disclosed non-limiting method implements virtual avatars detects physiognomic and body points of a user in a virtual reality system in order to create a digital twin for a virtual avatar of the user. The system determines a maximum available resolution at a given time for the physiognomic and body points; and determines, based on the maximum available resolution, an amount of information to send and receive between endpoints of a virtual reality system for rendering the digital twin of the user's virtual avatar at the given time. The system selects a number of the physiognomic and body points for rendering a virtual avatar at the given time based on the determining the amount of information.

Generating virtual avatars to optimize video data transmission

Techniques are described with respect to a system, method, and computer program product for visualizing gaming virtual objects. An associated method includes analyzing a physical object within a physical space; rendering a virtual object associated with the physical object based on the analysis; optimizing the virtual object within a virtual environment associated with the physical space; and integrating the optimized virtual object into the virtual environment.

Techniques are described with respect to a system, method, and computer program product for representing Internet-Of-Things (IOT) devices in a virtual environment. An associated method includes detecting a plurality of IOT devices associated with a physical space; extracting a plurality of IOT capabilities associated with the plurality of IOT devices; rendering a virtual IOT device based on the plurality of IOT capabilities; and visualizing the virtual IOT device within the virtual environment associated with the physical space.

Virtualizing internet-of-things devices in virtual environments

A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for providing a multi-perspective multimedia output. In one embodiment, this comprises a first captured version of an event from a first capturing device and a second captured version of the event from a second capturing device. A geolocation polygon is then calculated based on a geolocation of the first capturing device used as a first point of reference, and a geolocation of the second capturing device used as a second point of reference. An ephemeral cloud is then established by determining any digital resources available within the geolocation polygon. The first and second captured versions are then processed by using the resources available within said ephemeral cloud. A single output is then generated using the processed first and second captured versions. The single output is a combination of the first and second captured versions.

Ephemeral cloud for multi-perspective multimedia generation

A computer-implemented method includes: setting up, by a computing device, an identification profile by capturing a first image using a camera of the computing device; requesting, by the computing device, an authentication action by an authentication device; comparing, by the computing device, recognized elements of the first image and a second image, the recognized elements of the first image and the second image including at least one of ephemeral features and transient features; determining, by the computing device, whether a confidence level is above a predetermined threshold based on a comparison of the recognized elements of the first image and the second image; and completing, by the computing device, authentication of the computing device with the authentication device in response to a determination that the confidence level is above the predetermined threshold.

Augmented user authentication

The invention discloses a computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computer system, for utilizing a hypervisor installed on a smartphone running separate virtual machines (VMs), one configured for personal use and another for work use, thereby allowing for separate operating environments on one piece of hardware. The method includes receiving one or more notifications, or calls, on the smartphone and determining whether the one or more notifications, or calls, are during work hours. The method selects, automatically, the work VM as default if the one or more notifications, or calls, are during work hours. If the one or more notifications, or calls, are not during work hours, the method automatically selects the personal VM as default. The method further notifies a user to switch VMs if the one or more notifications, or calls, occur during a time that is a non-default VM.

Event driven intelligent hypervisor on a smart device

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for network bandwidth conservation is provided. The embodiment may include monitoring eye focus of a user. The embodiment may include monitoring voice input of the user. In response to determining the eye focus of the user is on a video feed of another user for more than a threshold amount of focus time, the embodiment may include receiving the video feed of the another user. In response to determining the eye focus of the user is on a screen of a video conference and determining, based on the voice input, the user is speaking towards the screen of the video conference, the embodiment may include enabling a camera of the user and transmitting a video feed of the user.

Network bandwidth conservation during video conferencing

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for private audio communication in a conference call is provided. The present invention may include receiving a mute request from a first participant in a conference call. The present invention may also include muting the first participant in the conference call. The present invention may further include capturing an audio from the muted first participant. The present invention may include transmitting the captured audio to a second participant in the conference call over a private communication channel.

Private audio communication in a conference call

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for summarizing a piece of information based on a personal learning style of a user is provided. The present invention may include summarizing to the piece of information associated with at least one information source, wherein an output is generated from the summarized piece of information. The present invention may then include generating a summary of the piece of information based on the personal learning style of the user and a plurality of data associated with the user, wherein the personal learning style of the user is determined by a personality test. The present invention may further include presenting the generated summary to the user.

Summarizing information from different sources based on personal learning styles

A computer receives a request to verify a location of a primary device. The computer receives an Indicated Primary Device Location 'IPDL'. The computer shows within a display a dynamically located virtual representation of a predetermined Astronomical Reference Object “ARO”. The virtual representation indicates a real-time offset between a Display Reference Indicator “DRI” and the ARO. The computer receives primary device orientation metadata from sensors associated with the primary device and generates a Measured Primary Device Orientation “MPDO” when the device is in a location verification orientation. The computer calculates an Expected Device Orientation “EDO” for a reference device arranged in the PDVP while at the IPDL. The computer generates a Location Verification Value “LVV” based, at least in part, on comparing the MPDO and the EDO. When the computer determines the LVV exceeds a predetermined verification threshold, providing an indication that the indicated primary device location is verified.

Verifying indicated device location using analysis of real-time display element interaction

Multimedia stream enhancement includes automatically analyzing a multimedia stream and identifying items of interest therein, building metadata, about the stream, that describes the identified items of interest and includes indications of each item of interest and a respective location of that item of interest, providing, by a stream producer device, the stream and the metadata to stream consumer devices, receiving feedback from at least one stream consumer device as the stream producer device provides the stream to the at least one stream consumer device, and using the feedback to generate updated metadata about the stream for provision to one or more stream consumer devices of the stream consumer devices.
