Abstract: An apparatus and method for a video capture device for recording 3 Dimensional (3D) stereoscopic video with motion sensors is provided are provided. The apparatus includes includes a camera unit having one lens for capturing video, a video encoder/decoder for encoding the captured video, a motion sensor for capturing motion data of the video capture device corresponding to the captured video, and a controller for controlling the video encoder/decoder and motion sensor to encode the captured video with the captured motion data.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling content playback are provided. The system includes a playback device configured to display content on a display, at least one detector configured to monitor a playback area, and a controller configured to identify at least one point of interest on the content, and to operatively control the playback device according to a user input.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for using perspective to improve visual information density are provided. The method includes displaying images corresponding to content in a largest size including a greatest amount of visual information at a first edge of a display, and displaying images corresponding to other content in progressively smaller sizes comprising progressively less visual information at locations on the display progressively further from the first edge.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for adaptive camera control are provided. The method includes detecting motion information of a camera, predicting a motion of the camera based on the motion information, generating camera settings for controlling the camera, based on the predicted motion, controlling the camera to capture a frame according to the camera settings, performing digital image stabilizing on the captured frame, and outputting the stabilized frame.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for rendering two-dimensional (2D) fonts in a three-dimensional (3D) space are provided. The apparatus includes a page generation unit for obtaining font information, for generating a 3D page, and for mapping two-dimensional (2D) coordinates corresponding to control points of at least one font glyph included in the font information onto the 3D page, a 3D transformation unit for applying at least one 3D transformation to the mapped control points, a camera unit for projecting the transformed mapped control points onto a 2D plane according to camera view information, and a font rasterizer for rendering the at least one font glyphs into a bitmap or pixmap according to the projected transformed mapped control points.

Abstract: Techniques for simulation of multi top-level graphical-containers (e.g., frames) in an object-oriented computing environment are disclosed. A Multi Top-level Graphical-Container Simulator (MTGS) can be provided to simulate multi top-level graphical container support for applications that expect to use a plurality of top-level graphical containers (e.g., frames, windows). A MTGS may be implemented as a layer between a GUI-based application and an operating system and/or hardware/device with limited or virtually no graphical support capability. The Multi Top-level Graphical Simulator (MTGS) can effectively isolate the operating systems and/or hardware/device from the GUI-based application, and yet hide this simulation from the operating system and/or hardware/device. MTGS may be implemented in a platform independent programming language (e.g., Java™ programming language using a set of Java™ classes which have been provided in the Java™ Swing development toolkit.
