  • Patent number: 11893656
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a prediction system for determining a set of subregions to be used for rendering a virtual world of a computer graphics application, said subregions belonging to streamable objects to be used for rendering said virtual world, said streamable objects each comprising a plurality of subregions. The prediction system comprises a plurality of predictor units arranged for receiving from a computer graphics application information on the virtual world and each arranged for obtaining a predicted set of subregions for rendering a virtual world using streamable objects, each predicted set being obtained by applying a different prediction scheme, a streaming manager arranged for receiving the predicted sets of subregions, for deriving from the predicted sets a working set of subregions to be used for rendering and for outputting, based on the working set of subregions, steering instructions concerning the set of subregions to be actually used.

  • Patent number: 11875088
    Abstract: A method of digital content generation is disclosed. A description of a smart volumetric layout is accessed. The smart volumetric layout includes an arrangement of one or more smart volumetric shapes. Smart shape data is associated to a volumetric shape of the one or more volumetric shapes. The smart shape data includes one or more properties and one or more behaviors. A presence of one or more digital objects is detected in the smart volumetric shape. One or more properties and the one or more behaviors associated with the smart volumetric shape are applied to the one or more digital objects.

  • Patent number: 11347371
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an extended reality (XR) user interface are disclosed. A two-dimensional data set is imported. The two-dimensional data set defines a two-dimensional user interface design layout. The two-dimensional data set includes a transition data set corresponding to a user interface element included in the design layout. The two-dimensional data set is converted into a three-dimensional data set. The three-dimensional data set defines a three-dimensional user interface design layout corresponding to the two-dimensional design layout. The converting includes identifying three-dimensional art for each of a plurality of phases corresponding to the transition data set. An XR representation of the three-dimensional data set is provided for editing using an editing application associated with one or more XR devices. Based on the editing, the three-dimensional data set is exported as one or more files that are compatible with an XR development environment.
