Abstract: A system includes hardware processors and a token exchange module configured to create a uniquely identified first digital token including an owner ID field identifying the current possessor of the digital token, associate the first digital token with digital content presented to the first user in a mixed reality environment, present the digital within the MR environment, make the first digital token available for acquisition, receive a request to acquire the first digital token, assign possession of the first digital token, via the owner ID field, to the first unique user ID of the first user based on the request to acquire the first digital token, receive a request to transfer the first digital token from the first user to the second user, the second user having a second unique user ID, and changing the owner ID field to the second unique user ID based on the request to transfer.

Abstract: A head-mounted display device including first and second display surfaces associated with first and second eyes of the user, a graphics processing unit, one or more hardware processors, and an adaptive rendering module. The adaptive rendering module is configured to identify a threshold frame time, the threshold frame time representing an upper threshold of time to render frame data by the GPU, receiving a first frame time associated with rendering a first frame to the first eye and second eye of the user, the first frame being rendered at a target resolution, determining that the first frame time exceeds the threshold frame time, and lowering the resolution below the target resolution for parts of a second frame associated with the first eye of the user while maintaining the resolution for parts of the second frame at the target resolution for images associated with the second eye of the user.

Abstract: A system includes a first and a second hand tracking device, the first and second hand tracking devices being configured to provide position information associated with hands of a user; hardware processors; a memory; and a temporal manipulation module. The temporal manipulation module is configured to perform operations including recording changes made in a virtual reality (VR) environment involving the user, thereby creating a recorded content, detecting a first revolution gesture performed by the user with the first and second hand tracking devices, the first revolution gesture including the first and second hand tracking devices revolving in a circular motion about a common axis, stopping the recording based on detecting the first revolution gesture, rewinding through the recorded content based on the first revolution gesture and, during the rewinding, displaying the recorded content in the VR environment, the displaying including altering the VR environment based on the recorded content.

Abstract: A system includes one or more hardware processors, a head mounted display (HMD), a digital camera device, and a path extraction engine. The path extraction engine is configured to receive two-dimensional (2D) video from the digital camera device, the 2D video presenting a 2D view of a three-dimensional (3D) object, the digital camera device moving along a camera path as the digital camera device captures the 2D video, identify a plurality of 2D features associated with the 3D object within the 2D video, track the plurality of 2D features across multiple frames of the 2D video, estimate motion in pixels associated with each 2D feature of the plurality of 2D features, using the estimated motion in the pixels, identify 2D motion caused by the digital camera device moving along the camera path, and compute a first camera position of the digital camera device based on the identified 2D motion.

Abstract: A job scheduler system includes one or more hardware processors, a memory including a job group queue stored in the memory, and a job scheduler engine configured to create a first job group in the job group queue, the first job group includes a generation counter having an initial value, receive a first request to steal the first job group, determine a state of the first job group based at least in part on the generation counter, the state indicating that the first job group is available to steal, based on the determining the state of the first job group, atomically increment the generation counter, thereby making the first job group unavailable for stealing, and alter an execution order of the first job group ahead of at least one other job group in the job group queue.

Abstract: A system includes one or more hardware processors, a head mounted display configured to display a virtual environment to a user, an input device, and a virtual mini-board module.
