Abstract: Described is a technique for securing a private secret key during a software build process for a software development kit (SDK) that includes a code implementation for an application programming interface (API), where the private secret key is for use in signing the payload of an API request for the API. Consistent with examples, a keychain service stores a private secret key. In at least one source code file for a SDK, the source code includes a macro definition, which, upon executing by a compiler, obtains a value for the private secret key. In a programming shell environment, a shell script is executed. Execution of the shell script results in executing a nested script, which queries the keychain service for the private secret key.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for varied depth determination using stereo vision and phase detection auto focus (PDAF). Computer stereo vision (stereo vision) is used to extract three-dimensional information from digital images. To utilize stereo vison, two optical sensors are displaced horizontally from one another and used to capture images depicting two differing views of a real-world environment from two different vantage points. The relative depth of the objects captured in the images is determined using triangulation by comparing the relative positions of the objects in the two images. For example, the relative positions of matching objects (e.g., features) identified in the captured images are used along with the known orientation of the optical sensors (e.g., distance between the optical sensors, vantage points the optical sensors) to estimate the depth of the objects.

Abstract: Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience to allow a user of an eyewear device to display a 3D overlay image on a viewed person. The user can select the overlay image from a list of images, such as costumes, stored in memory or generated by the user. The images can be sorted in memory based on common attributes. Registration points of the person are continuously aligned with registration points of the overlay as the person moves such that the user appears to be wearing the 3D costume during movement. By aligning the registration points, the costume adapts to different body types and heights. The coloring of the costume can change based on the environment, such as the lighting, or to contrast with colors viewed in a viewfinder.
