Abstract: Apparatus for generating a dynamic structured light pattern for optical tracking in three-dimensional space, comprises an array of lasers, such as a VCSEL laser array, to project light in a pattern into a three-dimensional space; and an optical element or elements arranged in cells. The cells are aligned with subsets of the laser array, and each cell individually applies a modulation, in particular an intensity modulation, to light from the laser or lasers of the subset, to provide a distinguishable and separately controllable part of the dynamic structured light pattern. A method of generating a structured light pattern is disclosed, in which light is provided from an array of lasers, and light is individually projected from subsets of the array of lasers to provide differentiated parts of the structured light pattern.

Abstract: A computer-implemented visual input reconstruction system for enabling selective insertion of content into preexisting media content frames may include at least one processor configured to perform operations. The operations may include accessing a memory storing object image identifiers associated with objects and transmitting, to one or more client devices, an object image identifier. The operations may include receiving bids from one or more client devices and determining a winning bid. The operations may include receiving winner image data from a winning client device and storing the winner image data in the memory. The operations may include identifying, in a preexisting media content frame, an object insertion location. The operations may include generating a processed media content frame by inserting a rendition of the winner image data at the object insertion location in the preexisting media content frame and transmitting the processed media content frame to one or more user devices.
