Abstract: Systems and methods are related to tracking an attention of a user with respect to content presented on a virtual screen, detecting a defocus event associated with a first region of the content, and determining a next focus event associated with a second region of the content. The determination can be based at least in part on the defocus event and on the tracked attention of the user. The systems and methods can include generating, based on the determined next focus event, a marker for differentiating the second region of the content from a remainder of the content, and in response to detecting a refocus event associated with the virtual screen, triggering execution of the marker associated with the second region of the content.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adjustable brightness flying suitable for both recreational and professional uses. The flying disc may comprise a light strip that illuminates when in use. In some embodiments, one or more properties of the light strip can be dynamically adjusted based on the intended application, environmental lighting conditions, and/or the player's preferences. The flying disc may have high-impact resistance, sand resistance, and/or water resistance so that it can be used for different applications and in different environments such as rough terrain, dusty environments, and/or in water. The flying disc may automatically detect a motion state and turn the light strip on or off accordingly. The illumination allows players to use the flying disc for different applications and in different environments, such as in low-lighting conditions. In some embodiments, the brightness may be adjusted and on-time of the light strip may be manually set or adjusted by a player.

Abstract: A computer system is configured for digital rights management for distributing and tracking downloadable proprietary source code defining a 3-D object and being usable to print the object on a 3D printer and protect the 3D object data from unauthorized printing. The computer system stores an inventory of proprietary source code corresponding to designs of a plurality of 3D objects, and enables a user to see the inventory of designs of the plurality of 3D objects in an online store, and permits the user to securely purchase use of the source code of a desired 3D object viewed therein. The computer system sends the proprietary source code defining the desired 3D object to a 3D printer, and controls printing of the desired 3D object made by the 3D printer to prevent further use of the source code when the purchased use in completed, using one of three different typologies.

Abstract: Generating edge-depth values for an object, utilizing the edge-depth values in generating a 3D point cloud for the object, and utilizing the generated 3D point cloud for generating a 3D bounding shape (e.g., 3D bounding box) for the object. Edge-depth values for an object are depth values that are determined from frame(s) of vision data (e.g., left/right images) that captures the object, and that are determined to correspond to an edge of the object (an edge from the perspective of frame(s) of vision data). Techniques that utilize edge-depth values for an object (exclusively, or in combination with other depth values for the object) in generating 3D bounding shapes can enable accurate 3D bounding shapes to be generated for partially or fully transparent objects. Such increased accuracy 3D bounding shapes directly improve performance of a robot that utilizes the 3D bounding shapes in performing various tasks.
