    Abstract: A method for augmenting communication, a computer program product for augmenting communication, and an augmented reality system. The method for augmenting communication may comprise calculating a sound boundary within which a communication can be heard, generating a visualization of the sound boundary on an augmented reality device, and presenting the visualization on the augmented reality device. The sound boundary may represent a predicted maximum distance at which the communication can be understood.

    Abstract: A method for selecting VR content according to available bandwidth comprising: receiving positional metadata from a VR device, receiving time-indexed bandwidth availability information for said location, receiving a plurality of VR content bandwidth thresholds, receiving a request for VR content at a future time, and selecting VR content having a threshold below the available bandwidth at the location at the future time. The selection may be made according to a preference value comprising one of a specific user request, commercial value, popularity, or time of last visit. The process may be repeated for multiple further locations and times. The metadata may comprise speed, direction, or velocity. When the bandwidth drops below the threshold a corrective action may be taken such as selecting content with a reduced threshold or guiding the user to arrive at the location at a different time. The content may be substituted with promotional material during periods of reduced bandwidth.

    Abstract: A method for enhancing the situational awareness of a user to a problem within an area. The method includes one or more computer receiving visual information corresponding to an area from a device associated with a user. The method further includes receiving data from a group of one or more sensors within the area, where the area includes a plurality of physical elements. The method further includes determining that a first problem is present within the area and a first physical element in the area that corresponds to the first problem, based on analysing the data received from the group of sensors. The method further includes generating augmented reality (AR) content related to the first problem present within the area. The method further includes displaying, via the device associated with the user, the generated AR content related to the problem within the visual information corresponding to the area.

    Abstract: Probable machine maintenance can be detected using acoustic analysis of the machine. Microphones or acoustic sensors 20 are placed at a location e.g, shop floor, machine shop, near machines 14. They receive sound from the machines 14 and transfer acoustic data to a control system 70, where it is analysed with respect to a database 76 of specifications for the machine 14. If acoustic data for the machine 14 is determined as outside a specification, indicating a variation from the specification of the machine 14, a reason for the variation is determined in relation to an identified part. An alert (342, fig 4) is sent to a device (344, fig 4) with a recommendation or action regarding the identified part, based on the reason for the variation.

    Abstract: A smart contact lens, wherein an auditory signal is received by the wearable contact lens. The auditory signal Is received from a user wherein the receiving occurs during a listening mode. The wearable contact lens positioned adjacent to an eye of the user during the receiving, a connection is made from the wearable contact lens to a paired computing device of the user through a personal network connection such that the auditory signal is transferred from the wearable contact lens, through the personal network connection, to the paired computing device of the user. The listening mode may be initiated via a listen command. The contact lens may comprise a camera for capturing an image, wherein the lens may receive a capture command, and in turn, capture an image of the view of the user. The lens may also be able to identify the gaze of a user.
