    Abstract: Sound objects are identified within a content item, and location metadata is extracted from the content item for each sound object. A reference layout is generated, relative to a user position, for the sound objects based on the location metadata. A user's gaze is then determined using pupil tracking, body movement data, head orientation data, or other techniques. Using the reference layout, a sound object along a path defined by the gaze of the user is identified, and audio of the identified object is enhanced.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a social content-viewing experience are described herein. In one embodiment, users are located in different physical locations. Each user is viewing a screen in a respective physical location. Content displayed on the screens is synchronized by a media system such that each user is viewing the same media asset. A media asset may be a movie, TV show, sports game, photo, presentation, or video game, to name a few examples. At least one user is using an AR headset. The AR headset displays avatars to represent the other users and displays the avatars in the viewing area of the user wearing the AR headset. For the user wearing the AR headset, the avatars provide a viewing experience that simulates having the other users present in the viewing area.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for preserving the privacy of a user in connection with an extended reality (XR) application. The system and methods may receive, by an interposer application, image data from a video capture driver and determine, by the interposer application and based on privacy preferences of a user profile, whether a region of the image data comprises sensitive content. In response to determining that a region of the image data comprises sensitive content, the image data may be modified by applying, by the interposer application, a modification to the region of the image data. The modified image data may be provided by the interposer application to the XR application, wherein the wherein the XR application may be prohibited from directly accessing data from the video capture driver.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing personalized audio for different users in a vehicle. This may be accomplished by a vehicle entertainment system determining the positions of one or more users within the vehicle. The vehicle entertainment system may then select a zone configuration based on the determined positions and output audio according to the selected zone configuration. For example, a first user sitting in the back of the vehicle may be located in a first zone of the selected zone configuration and a second user sitting in the back of the vehicle may be located in a second zone of the selected zone configuration. The vehicle entertainment system may output a first piece of audio to the first zone and a second piece of audio to the second zone using one or more techniques (e.g., beamforming).

    Abstract: System and methods are provided relating to bi-manual operation of a touchscreen. Multiple display elements displayed on the touchscreen are selected. A first input to the touchscreen is received defining a datum on the touchscreen, wherein the first input is resultant from sustained contact between a first hand of a user and the touchscreen. A second input to the touchscreen is received defining a reference point on the touchscreen, wherein the second input is resultant from sustained contact between a second hand of the user and the touchscreen. The multiple display elements are positioned to be displayed on the touchscreen in an evenly distributed manner relative to the datum and the reference point.

    Abstract: Sound objects are identified within a content item and location metadata is extracted from the content item for each sound object. A reference layout is generated, relative to a user position, for the sound objects based on the location metadata. If a first sound object is within a threshold angle, relative to the user position, from a second sound object, a virtual position of either the first sound object or the second sound object is adjusted by an adjustment angle.
