Systems And Methods For Generating A 360-degree Viewing Experience
Patent No. 11467710
A system for generating a 360-degree viewing experience may receive a plurality of images of an object from an image capture device, wherein each of the plurality of images corresponds to a different rotational orientation of the object relative to the image capture device. The system may detect, using a first machine learning model, the object in each of the plurality of images. The system may detect, using a second machine learning model, regions associated with identifiable object features in one or more images of the plurality of images. The system may assign feature metadata to the one or more images, the features metadata associated with one or more detected regions of the detected regions of the object in the one or more images. The system may publish, with an application programming interface, the plurality of images and the feature metadata for the 360-degree viewing experience.

Indoor-traditional Crack Climbing Hold
Patent No. 11471738
Crack climbing is being sought out by more indoor climbers, however the issue that has arisen is that indoor features are fixed; cannot be removed or changed, thus climbing the feature indoors quickly loses its value as a method of getting stronger, or improving one’s ability to adapt to outdoor environments. Currently if one wishes to practice or train for Crack climbing, they take to easy natural rock routes outdoors or build training boards out of wood to simulate common hand placements under the duress of a climb. Provided herein is an indoor-traditional crack climbing hold (I-TCCH) simulating a variety of Crack climbing situations and providing a “Settable” gym “Crack” to the simulated outdoor environment crack and the opportunity for climbers who wish to learn how to climb crack to have a safe way to learn about making correct hand placement, while conditioning themselves to natural rock surfaces.
