  • Patent number: 11954774
    Abstract: Systems and methods enable users to build augmented reality (AR) experiences with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The system includes an AR object studio that includes a list of IoT devices and control signals for the respective IoT devices and a list of AR objects (e.g., an AR lens). The AR object studio receives selections from users and correlates at least one IoT device to at least one AR object in response to the user selections. During use, a server receives an indication that an AR object has been activated and interacted with on a display of an AR camera device and, in response, sends a control signal to a correlated IoT device. Conversely, the server may receive a signal from an IoT device and, in response, present and control a correlated AR object on the display of the AR camera device.

  • Patent number: 11948265
    Abstract: A technology is described for aligning an image data set with a patient using an augmented reality (AR) headset. A method may include obtaining an image data set representing an anatomical structure of a patient. A two-dimensional (2D) X-ray generated image of at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient in the image data set and a visible marker may be obtained. The image data set can be aligned to the X-ray generated image by using data fitting. A location of the visible marker may be defined in the image data set using alignment with the X-ray generated image. The image data set may be aligned with a body of the patient, using the visible marker in the image data set as referenced to the visible marker seen on the patient through the AR headset.

  • Patent number: 11948255
    Abstract: An image processing system for an extended reality, XR, device comprising an eye-tracking subsystem, for determining a focus region of the eye, and a processor. The processor is configured to process application data to render image content for an application for display on the XR device, and obtain metadata indicating that a virtual object is to be generated as a hologram as part of the image content for display. Based on a determination that the virtual object belongs to a predetermined class of objects and is to be displayed in the focus region, the processor performs, using a neural network corresponding to the predetermined class of objects, foveated processing of the image content, including at least part of the hologram, such that relatively high-quality image content is generated for display in the focus region and relatively low-quality image content is generated for display outside the focus region.

  • Patent number: 11928757
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for intelligently generating partially textured accessible images. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate or access a color texture map specific to a given color vision deficiency. For example, the disclosed systems generate a color texture map that divides a color space into one or more textured segment of colors and one or more complementary untextured segments of colors. The disclosed systems can utilize the color texture map to intelligently apply different textures to subsets of pixels that contribute to color vision deficiency confusion. For example, the disclosed system maps pixels from a color image to the color texture map to identify a first subset of pixels corresponding to the textured segment of colors. The disclosed system generates a partially textured accessible image by applying a texture to the first subset of pixels.

  • Patent number: 11854141
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving the throughput of ray intersection or visibility queries performed by a ray tracing hardware accelerator. Throughput is improved, for example, by releasing allocated resources before ray visibility query results are reported by the hardware accelerator. The allocated resources are released when the ray visibility query results can be stored in a compressed format outside of the allocated resources. When reporting the ray visibility query results, the results are reconstructed based on the results stored in the compressed format. The compressed format storage can be used for ray visibility queries that return no intersections or terminate on any hit ray visibility query. One or more individual components of allocated resources can also be independently deallocated based on the type of data to be returned and/or results of the ray visibility query.

  • Patent number: 11830115
    Abstract: Systems and methods directed to rendering a dynamic eyelash attachment to an eye identified in a video are described. In examples, a dynamic eyelash template may be applied to a video, where the dynamic eyelash template configures an eyelash skeleton that includes eyelash skeleton branches. Further, the video with one or more video frames may be received such that eye keypoints associated with a shape of the eye in the video frames can be identified. Accordingly, the eyelash skeleton branches may be attached to areas corresponding to eye keypoints based on the dynamic eyelash template. A three-dimensional rotation of the eyelash skeleton branches may be configured to conform to the shape of the eye defined by the eye keypoints during an eye movement. Thus, a dynamic effect can be added to the eyelash skeleton to allow the eyelash skeleton branches to rotate and bounce during the eye movement.
