  • Patent number: 11610348
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) diagnostic tool embodied as a software application on a portable device employs AR infrastructure to enable a user to locate a failed/malfunctioning node of a cluster and, with minimal interaction, diagnose causes and provide recommendations to repair the node. The portable device may be a computer embodied as visualization technology and configured to execute the software application. Once installed, the AR diagnostic (ARD) tool is ready for use by the user, e.g., a customer service technician, to locate and repair one or more failed cluster nodes. In response to a failure/malfunction, the cluster node sends diagnostic and configuration information (i.e., failure/malfunction information) of the failed node to an analytics service. The failure information informs the technician of the cluster failure. The technician may then activate the ARD tool and AR infrastructure to locate and repair the failed node.

  • Patent number: 11551409
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for rendering portions of a three-dimensional environment at different sampling rates based on a focus frame within a graphical user interface. Specifically, the disclosed system provides a tool for marking a region of a graphical user interface displaying a three-dimensional environment. The disclosed system generates a focus frame based on the marked region of the graphical user interface and attaches the focus frame to a portion of the three-dimensional environment. The disclosed system assigns a first sampling rate to the portion of the three-dimensional environment displayed within the focus frame and a second sampling rate to portions of the three-dimensional environment outside the focus frame. The disclosed system renders the three-dimensional environment by sampling the portion within the focus frame at the first sampling rate and the portions outside the focus frame at the second sampling rate.

  • Patent number: 11481954
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing an acceleration structure provide for subdividing a 3-D scene into a plurality of volumetric portions, which have different sizes, each being addressable using a multipart address indicating a location and a relative size of each volumetric portion. A stream of primitives is processed by characterizing each according to one or more criteria, selecting a relative size of volumetric portions for use in bounding the primitive, and finding a set of volumetric portions of that relative size which bound the primitive. A primitive ID is stored in each location of a cache associated with each volumetric portion of the set of volumetric portions. A cache location is selected for eviction, responsive to each cache eviction decision made during the processing. An element of an acceleration structure according to the contents of the evicted cache location is generated, responsive to the evicted cache location.
