Abstract: In one embodiment, a device includes a first display which includes one or more first-display pixels that are configured to operate in multiple modes. The multiple modes include a first mode in which the one or more first-display pixels modulate, absorb, or reflect visible light and a second mode in which the one or more first-display pixels are substantially transparent to visible light. The device also includes a second display disposed behind or in front of the first display, the second display configured to emit, modulate, absorb, or reflect visible light.

Abstract: A target image can be analyzed determine a respective level of visual saliency for each of a plurality of information presented in the target image. At least a first sub-frame update for a display panel can be determined, the at least first sub-frame update providing at least a partial rendering of the target image on the display panel, the at least partial rendering of the target image providing the information presented in the target image that is determined to have a highest level of visual saliency from among the plurality of information. The at least first sub-frame update can be applied to the display panel.

Abstract: A display device can include a first display configured to produce an image and a plurality of transparent displays. Each of the plurality of transparent displays can be configured to produce a slice of the image to provide depth and a three-dimensional effect to the image, or at least one of the plurality of transparent displays can be configured to block, diffuse, or scatter light associated with the image produced by the first display so that different ones of a plurality of users see different content derived from the image produced by the first display. Each of the transparent displays can be substantially transparent. Further, at least one of the plurality of transparent displays can be made using Smectic A liquid crystals.

Abstract: A device can include a first display configured to produce an image and a second display. The second display can be non-emissive and transparent. The second display can also include a plurality of pixels that is electronically controllable to selectively diffuse light associated with the image produced by the first display.

Abstract: A system can include a projection layer. The projection layer can include a plurality of pixels. The plurality of pixels can be electronically controllable to vary appearance of at least one of the plurality of pixels in coordination with an image projected onto the projection layer.

Abstract: A device can include a first transparent display having a at least one pixel, wherein transparency of the at least one pixel is electronically controlled, and a second transparent display configured to emit an image. Selected regions of the image are shown by having regions of the second transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image be transparent and regions of the first transparent display corresponding to the selected regions of the image appear opaque.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor and multiple pairs of cameras, where each camera of a first pair of cameras is separated from each other by one camera of a second pair of cameras. Each camera of the first pair of cameras has a first orientation, and each camera of the second pair of cameras has a second orientation that is different from the first orientation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes presenting to a user, on a display of a head-worn client computing device, a three-dimensional video including images of a real-life scene that is remote from the user's physical environment. The method also includes presenting to the user, on the display of the head-worn client computing device, a graphical object including an image of the user's physical environment or a virtual graphical object.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client device, a request corresponding to a particular view of a three-dimensional video comprising multiple views. The method also includes accessing a data stream corresponding to the video. The method further includes selecting, based on the request, one or more portions of the accessed data stream, at least one of the selected portions corresponding to the particular view. The method also includes transmitting the selected portion of the accessed data stream to the client device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving multiple images from multiple cameras, where the multiple cameras include a first camera having a first orientation and a second camera having a second orientation, and the multiple images include a first image from the first camera and a second image from the second camera. The method also includes detecting multiple feature points within the first and second images. The method further includes determining one or more pairs of corresponding feature points located within a region of overlap between the first and second images, where the pairs of corresponding feature points include a respective one of the feature points from each of the first and second images. The method also includes spatially adjusting the first or second image based on a calculated offset between each pair of corresponding feature points.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing multiple images representing a 360° view of a scene, each image representing a portion of the 360° scene and including a first overlap area and a second overlap area, the first overlap area corresponding to an overlap with a first adjacent image, and the second overlap area corresponding to an overlap with a second adjacent image. The method also includes, calculating, for each overlap area, a set of homographies based on one or more feature points in the overlap area. The method further includes creating a set of left images from the multiple images, the set of left images representing a first 360° view of the scene. The method also includes creating a set of right images from the multiple images, the set of right images representing a second 360° view of the scene.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a display screen includes one or more pixels that are configured to operate in multiple modes. The multiple modes include a first mode in which the one or more pixels modulate, absorb, or reflect visible light and a second mode in which the one or more pixels are substantially transparent to visible light. When the one or more pixels are in the second mode a component behind the display screen is viewable through the one or more pixels.
