The method includes determining a location of a human face in an image and obtaining an avatar model; obtaining current expression data according to the location of the human face in the image and a three-dimensional face model; and obtaining expression change data from the current expression data. The method also includes determining a target split-expression-area that matches the expression change data, the target split-expression-area being selected from split-expression-areas corresponding to the avatar model; and obtaining target basic-avatar-data that matches the target split-expression-area. The method also includes combining the target basic-avatar-data according to the expression change data to generate to-be-loaded expression data; and loading the to-be-loaded expression data into the target split-expression-area to update an expression of an animated avatar corresponding to the avatar model.

  • Patent number: 11199955
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enhanced techniques for building user interfaces. An example method includes presenting a builder user interface to create a consumer user interface. The builder user interface receives information usable to filter data objects associated with a data object type. The information includes a variable associated with a property indicated by the data object type and the variable is associated with a first user interface element of the consumer user interface. An association between a second user interface element included in the consumer user interface and presentation of information generated based on data objects is received. Adjustment of the first user interface element causes filtering of the data objects via adjustment of the variable updating of the information. Access to the consumer user interface is enabled.

    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) utilizing the image capture device to track eye movements of a user interacting with a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the image capture device continuously collecting image data. The processor(s) determines, based on analyzing the collected image data, a probability of whether a user may be experiencing a vision-related issue. Based on the probability being within a given pre-determined range, the processor(s) identifies the vision-related issue experienced by the user. The processor(s) generates, based on the vision-related issue, a two dimensional visual exercise to address the vision-related issue for performance by the user. The processor(s) deploys a graphical user interface to the display, where the graphical user interface comprises the visual exercise. The processor(s) provides the visual exercise to the user via the graphical user interface.
