Abstract: A method and apparatus for the etching of variable depth features in a substrate is described. Movement of the substrate relative to an etchant (e.g. into or out of the etchant) during the etching process is utilised to provide a varying etch time, and hence depth, across the substrate, and in various examples this is enabled without requiring a varying mask.

Consistent with these embodiments, a method includes receiving a request from a first device to share a media gallery that includes a user avatar; generating metadata associated with the media gallery; generating a message associated with the media gallery, the message at least including the media gallery identifier and the identifier of the user avatar; and transmitting the message to a second device of the recipient user.

Abstract: A hydrofoil board having a hydrofoil and individually controllable flaps configured to be controlled to stabilize the board in a level position even when incurring waves. The flaps are spaced from the hydrofoil to generate a gap, and direct fluid flowing under the hydrofoil through the gap, and over the flaps. The flaps control the pitch and direction of the hydrofoil board when propelled in motion. A processor uses an internal measurement unit (IMU) to obtain orientation and acceleration information of the hydrofoil board. A global positioning system (GPS) unit is also used as an additional speed and location sensor. The processor combines IMU data with a user/rider's input, such as selected speed and direction via handheld wireless controller, and individually controls the flap motors to position the flaps, and the propulsion motor to set speed. In one example, the controller is configured to bring the hydrofoil board to a complete and stabile stop.

Abstract: Systems and methods enable users to engage in meaningful, authentic, online interactions by extracting objects (virtual or real) from an image or video and transferring the extracted objects into a real-world environment of another user in three-dimensional augmented reality. An object to be sent from the first user to the second user is generated using a drawing application, extracted from an image or a video, or an AR object is captured. A video is recorded showing the object responding to an action of the first user and metadata is generated relating to the response of the object to the action of the first user. The video and metadata are sent to the second user. Upon receipt, the video is watched by the second user and the object is selected for presentation in a display environment of the second user. The state of the object is preserved by the metadata.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein describe prompt modification techniques for automated image generation. An image generation request comprising a base prompt is received from a user device. A plurality of prompt modifiers is identified. A processor-implemented scoring engine determines, for each prompt modifier, a modifier score. The modifier score for each prompt modifier is associated with the base prompt. One or more of the prompt modifiers are automatically selected based on the modifier scores. A modified prompt is generated. The modified prompt is based on the base prompt and the one or more selected prompt modifiers. The modified prompt is provided as input to an automated image generator to generate an image, and the image is caused to be presented on the user device.

Abstract: Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience between two users of eyewear devices to allow one user of an eyewear device to share a personal attribute of the user with a second user. The personal attribute can be selected from a list of attributes, such as Bitmojis®, avatars, symbols, and tests. In an example, the personal attribute can reflect the mood of the first user. The personal attribute received by the first user is displayed proximate a portion of the first user, such as a head or mouth, on the display of the first user's eyewear device. The personal attribute may be displayed in a speech bubble proximate the first user.

Abstract: A machine learning based system can identify an entity as the likely subject of a multimodal message (e.g., a social media post having a short text phrase overlaid on an image) by creating embeddings for an image of the multimodal message and one or more string embeddings from text of the multimodal message. The embeddings can be weighted to maximize information gain, then recombined and compared against a result embedding database to identify an entity as the subject of the multimodal message.
