A device, computer-readable medium, and method for adaptive simulation of celebrity and legacy avatars in extended reality environments is disclosed. In one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes acquiring preferences from a user with respect to a virtual interaction, matching the preferences to an individual for whom an avatar is available, rendering an extended reality environment in which the virtual interaction will occur, rendering the avatar in the extended reality environment, receiving an input from the user, extracting a meaning from the input, and controlling the avatar to present an output that is responsive to the meaning, wherein the output is generated dynamically using at least one of: an image of the individual, an audio of the individual, or biographical data of the individual.

Adaptive simulation of celebrity and legacy avatars

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of: receiving a request for a proxy player to continue gameplay on behalf of a player of a game; retrieving data describing characteristics of historical gameplay of the player; and continuing the gameplay by the proxy player, wherein the proxy player performs actions that emulate the player based on the data describing the characteristics of the historical gameplay of the player. Other embodiments are disclosed.

System and method for continuous proxy gameplay

Techniques are described that facilitate predicting and minimizing risks associated with vehicle usage contexts. In one example, a method comprises obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, vehicle state information identifying occupants and objects of a vehicle and relative positions of the occupants and the objects about the vehicle in association with a current usage context of the vehicle. The method further comprises determining, by the system, an assessment of potential injuries associated with the current usage context of the vehicle based on analysis of the vehicle state information, wherein the analysis comprises evaluating potential movement of the occupants and the objects. The method further comprises determining, by the system, risk information regarding a risk associated with the current usage context of the vehicle as a function of the assessment.

Predicting and minimizing risks associated with vehicle usage contexts

In one example, a method includes creating a user group in an extended reality application, creating a language library for the user group, where the language library includes a plurality of gestures and a plurality of corresponding meanings, launching a session of the extended reality application for the user group, presenting the language library in the session of the extended reality application, monitoring communications among the user group during the session of the extended reality application, presenting, when an error is detected during the monitoring, a correction to a member of the user group who made the error, where the correction shows the member how to correct the error in a manner that is consistent with the language library, and adding, when a new gesture is detected during the monitoring, the new gesture and a corresponding meaning for the new gesture to the language library.

Generating personalized languages for extended reality communication

Techniques are described that facilitate dynamically predicting and minimizing risks associated with performance of physical tasks. In one example embodiment, method comprises obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, current health status information regarding a current health status of an entity and task information regarding a task to be performed by the entity. The method further comprises determining, by the system, a personalized assessment of an ability of the entity to perform the task relative to an environment in which the task is to be performed based on the current health status information and the task information, and determining, by the system, risk information regarding a risk associated with performance of the task by the entity within the environment as a function of the personalized assessment.

Predicting and minimizing risks associated with performance of physical tasks

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a media consumption database that stores data elements describing conditions under which electronic media content is consumed by a user on an electronic device. A search of the media consumption database based on at least a portion of the conditions may result in at least a portion of the electronic media content to be re-presented to an electronic device of the user Other embodiments are disclosed.

Media content memory retrieval

Disclosed is managing (creating and maintaining) attendance/participation data describing remote attendance of attendees of an event, or a replay of the event. The event can be a virtual reality event. When a remote user attends an event, subsequent viewers of the event replay can see a digital representation (e.g., an avatar) of the remote user within the replay as having attended the event in-person. Subsequent replays include digital representations of the remote user and the user(s) that viewed previously replay(s) to emulate their attendance. User can manage their own attendance data, including to obtain proof of attendance. A user can delete his or her presence at an event, such that replays after the deletion do not include that user's representation. A user can go anonymous with respect to an event, such that any replays after the anonymity choice include only a generic representation of the attendee.
