Abstract

Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for a wearable multimedia device and cloud computing platform with an application ecosystem for processing multimedia data captured by the wearable multimedia device. In an embodiment, a method comprises: receiving, by one or more processors of a cloud computing platform, context data from a wearable multimedia device, the wearable multimedia device including at least one data capture device for capturing the context data; creating a data processing pipeline with one or more applications based on one or more characteristics of the context data and a user request; processing the context data through the data processing pipeline; and sending output of the data processing pipeline to the wearable multimedia device or other device for presentation of the output.

Claims (15)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors of a cloud computing platform, context data from a wearable multimedia device, the wearable multimedia device including at least one data capture device for capturing the context data, the context data including at least one of image data or depth data and speech;

converting the speech into speech text;

determining, by the one or more processors, two or more applications based on machine learning—and the context data;

creating, by the one or more processors, a data processing pipeline with the two or more applications, wherein a first application in the data processing pipeline is configured to process at least one of the image data or depth data, and a second application in the data processing pipeline is configured to process the speech text separate from the image or depth data;

processing, by the one or more processors, the context data through the data processing pipeline, the processing including using at least one of the image data or depth data and the speech text to label one or more objects captured in the image data or depth data; and

sending, by the one or more processors, output of the data processing pipeline to the wearable multimedia device or other device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more applications are determined based on a user preference or historical context data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more applications are determined based on speed or accuracy.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more applications includes a virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) application, and the method further comprises:

generating, by the VR or AR application, VR or AR content using at least one of the image data or the depth data and the speech text; and

sending the VR or AR content to the wearable multimedia device or other device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more applications includes a localization application, and the method further comprises:

determining, using the localization application, a location of the wearable multimedia device based on at least one of the image data or the depth data and the speech text; and

sending the location to the wearable multimedia device or other device.
