Patent number: 11954774Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Yu Jiang Tham, Rajan Vaish, Andrés Monroy-Hernández, Sven Kratz, Ana Maria Cardenas Gasca

Patent number: 11928757Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Jose Ignacio Echevarria Vallespi, Rachel Franz, Paul Asente

Patent number: 11854141Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Gregory Muthler, John Burgess, Ronald Charles Babich, Jr., William Parsons Newhall, Jr.

Patent number: 11830115Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Lemon Inc.Inventors: Nathan Schager, Maryyann Crichton, Jefrain Gallipoli
