Gesture-based shared AR session creation
Method of creating shared AR session based on a gesture starts with server receiving observed motion data from first device associated with first user. First device generating observed motion data based on an analysis of data stream comprising images of second user performing a gesture. Second user being associated with second device. Server receiving from second device captured motion data that corresponds to the gesture. Captured motion data being recorded by a sensor included in second device. Server determines whether there is a match between observed motion data from first device and captured motion data from second device. In response to determining that there is the match, server generates shared AR session between first device and second device and causes shared AR session to be displayed by first device and second device. Other embodiments are described herein.

Reliable hybrid bonded apparatus
Reliable hybrid bonded apparatuses are provided. An example process cleans nanoparticles from at least the smooth oxide top layer of a surface to be hybrid bonded after the surface has already been activated for the hybrid bonding. Conventionally, such an operation is discouraged. However, the example cleaning processes described herein increase the electrical reliability of microelectronic devices. Extraneous metal nanoparticles can enable undesirable current and signal leakage from finely spaced traces, especially at higher voltages with ultra-fine trace pitches. In the example process, the extraneous nanoparticles may be both physically removed and/or dissolved without detriment to the activated bonding surface.
