Abstract
A method for processing multiple intents from an audio stream in a virtual reality application may include multiple steps, including: receiving a stream of words as a first utterance; processing the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received; based on the processing, determining a first intent from the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received; determining occurrence of a pause after the first utterance; and receiving a second stream of words as a second utterance, the second stream being received after the determined pause.
Claims20
A method for processing multiple intents from an audio stream in a virtual reality application, the method comprising:
- receiving a stream of words as a first utterance from a first user engaging with the virtual reality application via a first user avatar;
- processing the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received;
- determining a first intent from the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received;
- determining occurrence of a pause after the first utterance;
- receiving a second stream of words as a second utterance, the second stream being received after the determined pause;
- and
- providing training in the virtual reality application to the first user based on the determined first intent.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a physical processor of a computing device for processing multiple intents from an audio stream in a virtual reality application, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions to receive a stream of words as a first utterance from a first user engaging with the virtual reality application via a first user avatar;
- instructions to process the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received;
- instructions to determine a first intent from the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received;
- instructions to determine occurrence of a pause after the first utterance;
- instructions to receive a second stream of words as a second utterance, the second stream being received after the determined pause;
- and
- instructions to provide training in the virtual reality application to the first user based on the determined first intent.
A virtual reality system comprising a physical processor of a computing device for processing multiple intents from an audio stream in a virtual reality application, the physical processor including instructions to:
- receive a stream of words as a first utterance from a first user engaging with the virtual reality application via a first user avatar;
- process the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received;
- determine a first intent from the first utterance before the stream of words is fully received;
- determine occurrence of a pause after the first utterance;
- receive a second stream of words as a second utterance, the second stream being received after the determined pause;
- and
- provide training in the virtual reality application to the first user based on the determined first intent.
