Publication number: 20220414976Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering items in a user interface are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may initiate, on a display of the electronic device, a user interface for displaying a rendering of an item. In embodiments, the user interface may include selectable options for editing design elements of the item. As a user of the electronic device moves a pointer on the user interface, the electronic device may automatically and dynamically configure a lighting effect simulating a virtual light source by setting a position of the virtual light source to the location of the pointer. A rendering of the item can then be generated by applying the lighting effect to a digital image of the item, where the lighting effect can be updated responsive to movement of the pointer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventor: Christina Kayastha

Patent number: 11127177Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating product design by an electronic device are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may display one or more designable canvases of a user interface for editing the visual design of a product. The electronic device may display an extended workspace canvas adjacent to and at least partially surrounding the one or more designable canvases. The extended workspace canvas may be configured to display a plurality of design elements that can be reached directly from the one or more designable canvases for use. Each of the design elements may be configured to be selectively positioned within the one or more designable canvases. The electronic device may, in response to a surface change selection of the one or more designable canvases, maintain the displaying of the extended workspace canvas while the one or more designable canvases are in a transitioning state.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: CIMPRESS SCHWEIZ GMBHInventors: Nicholas Richard Swider, Edward James Hammond, Christina Kayastha, Donald J.

Publication number: 20150317915Abstract: A state change device and system for the tactile display of information is disclosed. The state change device uses a novel pin and driving coil arrangement combined with a bistable plate to create a high state and a low state where the pin either protrudes from a surface or is recessed below the surface. The state change device may be combined with other similar devices to create a Braille character and may be further combined to create a Braille reader where transient information is displayed on the Braille reader from a computing device or processor. The state change device makes possible low cost Braille displays that are reliable, compact, quickly refreshable and with more characters than current Braille displays, thus providing new life and opportunity for both the Braille alphabet and those that require the use of such.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2015Publication date: November 5, 2015Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTERInventors: Randal Crosby Nelson, Christina Kayastha, Samantha Lawrence Piccone
