Real-time two-way communication between a user immersed in a virtual reality (VR) environment and another party who is not in the VR environment. The sequence of video frames being presented to the VR user on, e.g., a head mounted display, i.e., the VR user's 'field of view' in the VR environment, is shown to a guest user on their computing device. Simultaneously, video from a camera in a guest user computing device is shown to the VR user in a window in the VR environment. Audio is also exchanged in real time between the VR user and guest user by use of a microphone and loudspeaker in both the VR system and the guest user computing device. The VR user's system can also support both rotational and translational user movement thus properly changing the VR user's apparent distance from objects displayed in the VR environment.

Method and apparatus for real-time data communication in full-presence immersive platforms

A denture adhesive removing head is affixed to one end of an elongated handle. The head has several lines of projections extending from a common surface. The outer ends of the projections lie on a convexly curved surface. The head and projections are molded from a material that is pliable when warm and relatively rigid when cooled.

A first hinge member has a serrated shank affixed to a dental restoration section and a spherical pivot-head at the free end of the shank; a pair of oppositely-open, axially-aligned, hemispherical bearing cups are provided on the pivot head for engagement by hemispherical trunnions provided on the inner wall of a substantially spherical cap forming part of a second hinge member affixed to a clasp section engaging an abutment tooth; a downwardly-open semi-cylindrical stop member is affixed to the cap in overlying relationship with the free end of the shank for engagement thereby to limit relative movement between the restoration section and the endentulous ridge portion of a user's mouth.
