Provided is an information processing device that controls a motion of a robot having a torso and a head. The information processing device includes an acquisition section that acquires an image of a face of a user that is captured by a camera of a mobile terminal device, a motion detection section that detects an orientation of the face of the user from the acquired image, a control signal generation section that generates a control signal for rotating the first or the second rotating device of the robot according to the detected orientation of the face of the user, and a transmission section that transmits the generated control signal to the robot.

Information processing device, robot, and mobile terminal device

A platform to accurately detect user pose/verify against a reference ground truth and provide feedback using an accuracy score that represents the deviation of the user pose from the reference ground truth, typically established by an expert.

Recommendation engine for comparing physical activity to ground truth

A UI for a 3D display is presented in stand by style as a home UI system for a holographic display. The UI provides a live view of a current application and computer game. The behavior of the UI may change according to the distance between an imaged viewer and the display. The UI provides some minimal interaction with the characters in the live view. The UI can be used to control interaction of the holographic display.

3D user interface with sliding cylindrical volumes

Implementations generally relate to providing smart tags. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, at a server, a video stream from a video camera. The method further includes receiving, at the server, a plurality of tags from a plurality of client devices, where each tag of the plurality of tags tags a portion of the video stream. The method further includes tagging the video stream based on the plurality of tags. The method further includes grouping the plurality of tags into a plurality of tag groups, where each tag group includes one or more tags received from a particular client device.

Providing smart tags

A system and method including a disposable wearable device that provides enhanced capabilities to a non-wearable device for a limited period of time by sensing proximity and securely exchanging permissions with the non-wearable device. In one embodiment, the wearable device is capable of sensing one or more bio-signals that are provided to the non-wearable, tactile feedback, or the like. The wearable device may be disposable and may also provide additional tactile feedback for the extended feature (e.g. game feedback, etc). In another embodiment, the wearable device is capable of sensing one or more bio-signals that are provided to the non-wearable, tactile feedback, or the like.

Proximity based and data exchange and user authentication between smart wearable devices

A smart wearable device with sensors that can acquire biological input about the user as well as environmental data is presented. Theses sensors can acquire sensor input which causes the smart wearable device to identify a required task to perform. If the smart wearable device determines that the task can only be performed properly by acquiring new capabilities, the smart wearable device can automatically acquire the necessary capabilities from various data sources and configure itself to perform the task properly.

Smart wearable devices and methods for automatically configuring capabilities with biology and environment capture sensors

Implementations generally relate to providing highlights of an event recording. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, at a client device, a video stream associated with an event. The method further includes receiving, at the client device, one or more tag commands from a user. The method further includes generating one or more tags based on the one or more tag commands, where each tag of the one or more tags tags a portion of the video stream. The method further includes tagging one or more portions of the video stream based on the one or more tags. The method further includes storing a copy of the video stream and the one or more tags on the client device.

Providing highlights of an event recording

Smart wearable devices and methods are disclosed for providing feedback for optimal placement of the wearable device. This includes systems and methods to lock or unlock a wearable device and/or notify external wearable/non-wearable devices depending on the states of the wearer by sending notification or providing feedback if mispositioned or repositioned on the wearer. A system and method are disclosed for providing a user indication of proper placement of a wearable device by providing feedback based on acquired bio-signal quality. In one embodiment, bio-signal quality is acquired by comparing a computed signal to noise ratio to that of an expected signal.

Body position optimization and bio-signal feedback for smart wearable devices

A wearable sensor device, system and method are provided for monitoring the attention, workload or other physical status of the wearer of the wearable sensor device. At least one biometric index value is formulated for a characteristic status from the processed sensor data of the sensors of the device and the biometric index value may also incorporate prior test data and questionnaire response information in the calculated value. The system may include any number of wearable devices that have sensors, a processor and a communications link as well as a remote computer and a non-wearable device with an interface. The status of the wearer of a wearable sensor device can be monitored with the simple display of the biometric index value as well as the data from the individual sensors.

Smart wearable devices and methods with attention level and workload sensing

A method and apparatus for providing customized haptic feedback for a wearable device with sensors, a processor, memory, haptic outputs and optional communications module. Sensor information is used to provide the context for customizing the haptic feedback.

Smart wearable devices and methods for customized haptic feedback

Networked smart wearable devices and methods for dynamic power management of multiple wearable devices and the optimization of the network sensor data load through network control of the sensors in each wearable device is provided.
