Abstract: Methods for managing content within an interactive augmented reality environment are described. An augmented reality environment may be provided to an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) in which content (e.g., webpages) may be displayed to the end user using one or more curved slates that are positioned on a virtual cylinder that appears body-locked to the end user. The virtual cylinder may be located around the end user with the end user positioned in the middle of the virtual cylinder such that the one or more curved slates appear to be displayed at the same distance from the end user. The position and size of each of the one or more curved slates may be controlled by the end user using head gestures and a virtual pointer projected onto the virtual cylinder.

Abstract: A graph display control apparatus includes a figure display control unit, a graph figure change unit, a coordinate value calculation unit and a figure prominent display control unit. The figure display control unit sets a coordinate system to a display unit and displays (i) a first graph figure and (ii) a coordinate axis or a second graph figure in the system. The graph figure change unit moves or transforms the first graph figure in the system in response to a user operation to change the first graph figure. The coordinate value calculation unit detects an intersection point of (i) the changed first graph figure and (ii) the coordinate axis or the second graph figure and calculates a coordinate value of the intersection point. The figure prominent display control unit prominently displays the changed first graph figure when the coordinate value is an integer.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that relate to a display that renders corrected images to viewers so that users do not need to wear corrective lenses. The system obtains a vision parameter associated with a viewer and/or content to be displayed. The system receives an image for display to the viewer and modifies the image according to the vision parameter to generate a modified vision corrected image. The system renders the modified region on a rear display while rendering a selective barrier on a front barrier display to direct a vision corrected image to a viewer according to the vision parameter.

Abstract: A visual whiteboard can be provided as an application, or component of a TV internet browser, for operation on a smart TV. The visual whiteboard provides a lightweight social networking mechanism, e.g., for groups who have physical access to the same smart TV. Content identifiers or other group information can be posted to the visual whiteboard by the authorized users for subsequent display on the corresponding smart TV.

Abstract: A processing unit, method, and medium for decompressing or generating textures within a graphics processing unit (GPU). The textures are compressed with a variable-rate compression scheme such as JPEG. The compressed textures are retrieved from system memory and transferred to local cache memory on the GPU without first being decompressed. A table is utilized by the cache to locate individual blocks within the compressed texture. A decompressing shader processor receives compressed blocks and then performs on-the-fly decompression of the blocks. The decompressed blocks are then processed as usual by a texture consuming shader processor of the GPU.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image is disclosed. On a display panel, red, green and blue subpixels are alternately arranged in a row direction and subpixels having the same color are arranged in a column direction. A 3D image filter is disposed ahead of the display panel and includes a transparent area and a non-transparent area arranged alternately. An edge defining the width of the non-transparent area is inclined with respect to a vertical axis of the display panel. A controller assigns a view image to be displayed at a subpixel of the display panel according to an inclination angle of the edge.

A representative component may then be selected from each grouping. Composite glyphs may be generated and stored in an optimized file, where each composite glyph includes a reference to at least one representative component.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and design software allow for easy and efficient rendering, displaying, navigation, and/or sharing of computer generated designs and models. One or more implementations allow a user to share the geometry and the graphical attributes of a three-dimensional model without sharing the source file or the proprietary details of the source file. In particular, the one or more implementations provide the ability to capture the geometry and the graphical attributes of a three-dimensional model, and share then captured geometry with others. Furthermore, one or more implementations can allow for sharing of the geometry and graphical attributes of a three-dimensional model without requiring the viewer to have the software used to create the three-dimensional model.

Abstract: A method fits primitive shapes to a set of three-dimensional (3D) points by first converting the set of 3D points to a distance field. Each element in the distance field is associated with a distance to a nearest point in the set of 3D points. A set of two or more candidates are hypothesizing from the primitive shapes, and a score is determined for each candidate using the distance field. Then, the primitive shape to fit to the 3D points is selected from the candidates according to their scores.

Abstract: A user can dynamically invoke and control the display of secondary data visualizations based on a selected element of a primary data visualization. Previews of the secondary data visualizations are presented as the user interacts with the primary visualization. In response to user input, previews can be dynamically expanded, allowing a user to dynamically “drill down” into selected elements of the primary data visualization. Any suitable input mechanism can be used, including for example, a gesture such as a two-finger spreading motion to invoke previews of available secondary visualizations, wherein the axis defined by two points of contact determines which of the displayed previews of secondary visualizations is highlighted and/or expanded. In various embodiments, a hierarchy of visualizations can be established, and the user can navigate among two or more levels of visualizations in the same interactive manner.

Abstract: A system includes a server and a client computer device. The server determines a graphical object visible from a view region and determines one or more parameters defining the graphical object visible from the view region. The server further transmits the determined one or more parameters to a client computing device. The client computing device includes a processor to generate the graphical object using the determined one or more parameters received from the server. The client computing device further includes a display device to display the generated graphical object within a computer generated modeled environment.

Abstract: Rendering 3D paintings can be done by compositing brush strokes embedded in space. Image elements are rendered into an image representable by a pixel array wherein at least some of the image elements correspond to simulated painting strokes. A method may include determining stroke positions in a 3D space, determining stroke orders, and for each pixel to be addressed, determining a pixel color value by determining strokes intersections with a view ray for that pixel, determining a depth order and a stroke order for intersecting fragments, each fragment having a color, alpha value, depth, and stroke order, assigning an intermediate color to each of the fragments, corresponding to a compositing of nearby fragments in stroke order, and assigning a color to the pixel that corresponds to a compositing of the fragments using the intermediate colors assigned to the fragments. The compositing may be done in depth order.
