A system and method for enabling a zero configuration nomadic wireless and wired computing environment presenting a just works experience is presented. The system examines predefined user preference or profile settings to determine to which of a competing number of wireless networks available it should connect, and what type of authentication should be used for such connection. Nomadic wireless computing between infrastructure wireless networks and ad hoc wireless networks may be accomplished without further user intervention required in an auto mode. Also, both infrastructure only and ad hoc only modes are available through the system of the invention. Further, the user may set a preference for infrastructure or ad hoc modes in the auto mode. With an infrastructure mode preference set, the system will automatically detect and transfer connectivity to a newly available infrastructure wireless network if the user was previously operating off-line or in ad hoc mode.

A method includes communicating network connection information from a control server to each of a first subset of devices for enabling an open network connection between each of the devices of the first subset; spawning, by each of a plurality of devices, a plurality of virtual machines for network connections that virtualize network capabilities of the device; establishing, by each of the devices, a respective open network connection with each of the other devices using a respective spawned virtual machine and network connection information received from a control server; receiving, by each device, data from a hosting server and data from one or more of the open network connections that are established with that device; processing, by each device, the received data; and providing a user experience, by each device, based on the processed data.

Provided herein are display systems and units, including those configured for dynamic communication in a physical location, such as in retail settings. Also included herein are methods for dynamically displaying product information in a physical location, such as a retail setting.

An interactive system for providing a mixed reality experience to a user, the system including an object having at least two surfaces, where each surface having a marker. The system also including an image capturing device to capture images of the object in a first scene and a microprocessor configured to track the position and orientation of the object in the first scene by tracking at least two surfaces of the object and identifying at least one marker. In addition, the microprocessor is also configured retrieve multimedia content associated with an identified marker and generates a second scene including the associated multimedia content superimposed over the first scene in a relative position to the identified marker and the microprocessor is configured to provide a mixed reality experience to a user using the second scene.

A skateboard apparatus comprising a truck assembly is provided. The truck assembly comprises a suspension assembly, a pivot element, a collapsible tubular member, a compression spring, and a tension spring. The suspension assembly comprises a suspension spring for creating a rocking motion about a longitudinal axis of the board structure. The collapsible tubular member is threadedly connected to the pivot element, which is pivotally connected to the suspension assembly. The compression spring is externally and coaxially mounted around sleeve members of the collapsible tubular member. The tension spring coaxially that extends through the collapsible tubular member, in communication with the compression spring, telescopically extends and retracts the collapsible tubular member for creating an upward motion and a downward motion respectively, of the board structure. The suspension assembly synchronizes the upward and downward motion with the rocking motion of the board structure for creating a surf-like motion on a ground surface.

An interactive system for interacting with a device in a mixed reality environment, the system comprising an object having at least two surfaces, each surface having a marker, an image capturing device to capture images of the object in a first scene, and a microprocessor configured to track the position and orientation of the object in the first scene by identifying a marker. In addition, the microprocessor is configured to respond to manipulation of the object causes the device to perform an associated operation.

A handheld guide unit for extending the navigational capability of a disabled person; the handheld guide unit including a display unit; and a unit related to time; the handheld guide unit graded as a function of current disability profile of a disabled person.

A microsurgery simulator simulates various microsurgical procedures (e.g., nerve reapproximation, ear drain deployment) that utilize a surgical microscope. A surrogate surgical microscope includes a mobile device and an eye piece. A physical surrogate surgical interface represents an interface between a user and a simulated surgical scenario. Sensors sense the user's manipulation of the surrogate surgical interface. A surgical simulation generator generates a real time 3D surgical simulation based on the sensed manipulation. The generator renders the real time surgical simulation into a real time computer graphics generated video representation that is displayed on a screen of the mobile device. A processor of the mobile device is configured to perform at least a portion of a computational analysis that is used to generate the real time computer graphics generated video representation.

A controller is provided for maneuvering an interrogation plane relative to a reference surface. The interrogation plane intersects the reference surface and is associated with a pole about which the interrogation plane is rotatable. The pole has an adjustable angle of inclination relative to the reference surface. The controller has a base, a handle, and an arm extending from a connection with the base to a connection with the handle. The arm has hingable joints which hinge to allow the handle to be translated relative to the base in arbitrary directions across a user surface. The controller further has position sensors which measure the translation of the handle relative to the base on the user surface. The translation provides a corresponding translation of the interrogation plane relative to the reference surface. The handle is rotatable about a rotation axis and is tillable about a tilt axis to allow the handle to be angularly moved relative to the user surface. The controller further has angle sensors which respectively detect the rotation about the rotation axis and the tilt about the tilt axis. The rotation about the rotation axis and the tilting about the tilt axis provide angular movement of the interrogation plane relative to the reference surface corresponding to the angular movement of the handle relative to the user surface.
