  • Patent number: 11961200
    Abstract: In a method for producing three-dimensional model data of a garment having a target garment size, intermediate model data of the garment are stored, which are associated with a base garment size and include intermediate geometry data and at least one intermediate texture map associated with the intermediate geometry data. Through semantic segmentation of the intermediate texture map a label map is generated that associates each element of the intermediate texture map to a respective one of a set of segments of the garment and associated resizing rules. Geometry data for the model data are generated by resizing the intermediate geometry data based on the label map, on the resizing rules, on a body model and on a set of scaling factors between the base garment size and the target garment size. A texture map is generated based on the intermediate texture map, on the label map, on the resizing rules and on the set of scaling factors.

  • Patent number: 11954789
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for rendering a 3D synthetic scene. A display client receives point cloud samples of the scene, where the point cloud samples include a point location, one or more viewing directions, and color information for each of the viewing directions. The point cloud samples may be generated by a server using ray tracing. The display client combines information from the point cloud samples with a locally generated rendering of at least a portion of the scene to generate a combined rendering of the scene, and the client displays the combined rendering. The number of point cloud samples may be adjusted adaptively based on performance metrics at the client.

  • Patent number: 11935164
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method and system for improvements to emotional and behavioral interfaces. In an example, a first group of color-coded regions is displayed representing emotions and behaviors for data collected from one or more participants using an input method. Correspondences are determined within the first group of color-coded regions. Individual ones of the first group of color-coded regions are provided with a first portion of pixels in a first color associated with a value in the data based in part on the correspondences. A second portion of pixels is provided with a second color associated with a neutral indication. Changes to the data over discrete or random intervals of time are determined as modifying the correspondences. A dynamical change is applied to the first portion of pixels and the second portion of pixels to update the display of the first group of color-coded regions.

  • Patent number: 11922691
    Abstract: In implementations of augmented reality systems for comparing physical objects, a computing device implements a comparison system to detect physical objects and physical markers depicted in frames of a digital video captured using an image capture device and displayed in a user interface. The comparison system associates a physical object of the physical objects with a physical marker of the physical markers based on an association distance estimated using two-dimensional coordinates of the user interface corresponding to a center of the physical object and a distance from the image capture device to the physical marker. Characteristics of the physical object are determined that are not displayed in the user interface based on an identifier of the physical marker. The comparison system generates a virtual object for display in the user interface that includes indications of a subset of the characteristics of the physical object.

  • Patent number: 11861061
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for enabling collaboration between physical writers and virtual writers. In one implementation, the computer-readable medium includes instructions to cause a processor to receive, from an image sensor, image data representing a hand of a first physical writer holding a physical marking implement and engaging with a physical surface to create tangible markings. Information based on the image data is transmitted to a computing device associated with a second virtual writer, to thereby enable the second virtual writer to view the tangible markings created by the first physical writer. Annotation data are received from the computing device, and represent additional markings in relative locations with respect to the tangible markings created by the first physical writer. In response to receiving the annotation data, a wearable extended reality appliance overlays the physical surface with virtual markings in the relative locations.
