Abstract: one or more shock absorbers may be disposed between the layers of an optical assembly, which may be used in a head-mounted display (hmd) device for the display of augmented and/or virtual reality (ar/vr) content. in one example, an optical component positioned adjacent to a waveguide in the optical assembly may have one or more shock absorbers positioned on the surface which faces the waveguide. the shock absorbers may either touch the surface of the waveguide or may not touch the waveguide but rather have a gap (i.e., a stand-off shock absorber). the shock absorbers may take the form of, e.g., a pillar, a cone, an inverted cone, an inverted pillar, a spring, a double helix, a three-dimensional mesh, a strap, or a high aspect ratio 3d mesh tower.

Abstract: a communication system actively monitors a conversation between users in an environment. once a threshold condition occurs (e.g., client device within a threshold distance of a room where the conversation is occurring, the user enters a chatroom via the client device), the client device receives a summary from the communication system. the communication system may customize the summary in accordance with user preferences. user preferences may include level of detail in summary or time range associated with summary. the client device then presents the summary to the user. the summary may be audio or text. in some embodiments, the summary may be historical audio that is overlaid over current audio at faster speed and higher volume, and stops once the historical audio reaches real time.
