Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for three-dimensional object sculpting and deformation on a mobile device. The system including a display, a memory storing a sculpting software application, and a processor configured to execute the sculpting software application to present an object to the user on the display, receive a first user input from the user for deforming the object, deform the object based on the first user input to generate a deformed object, receive a second user input from the user for squishing the deformed object using a squishing machine, and re-present the deformed object on the display next to the squishing machine. Squishing the deformed object may include breaking the deformed object in a blending machine, melting the deformed object with a heating machine, blowing the deformed object up with a pump, or breaking the deformed object up within a bubble.

Abstract: A portable computing device (10) with a display screen (26) that may be scrolled and/or zoomed in response to changes in the spatial orientation of the computing device. Changes in the spatial orientation of the computing device are sensed by accelerometers (20) contained in the device. Software converts signals sent by the accelerometers to scrolling or zooming commands that scroll and/or zoom the display screen. Motion of the computing device in the plane of the display screen of the computing device results in scrolling the display screen in the opposing direction of the motion of the computing device a distance greater than the distance the computing device is moved. Motion of the computing device perpendicular to the plane of the display screen zooms the display screen in or out. Motion of the computing device toward the user results in the display screen being zoomed in to reveal greater detail.

Abstract: When graphics computations are to be performed to calculate the display data of a figure to be drawn within a frame that is formed of a plurality of lines in accordance with input vector data, the present invention reduces the storage capacity of a RAM to which a work area for storing intermediate data is allocated. When the graphics computations are to be performed, the frame in which the figure is to be displayed is segmented into a plurality of drawing areas for each of the lines. As regards the work area for storing the intermediate data, the same work area is allocated to all the drawing areas. The graphics computations for calculating the intermediate data of the individual drawing areas are sequentially performed by repeatedly using the same work area.

Abstract: A method for magnifying a screen content executed by an input device is disclosed. The method is suitable for magnifying a display content of a computer device and includes that the input device receives an informed command from the computer device. The informed command indicates whether the operation system of the computer device supports a system magnifier. If the operation system supports the system magnifier, the input device outputs a first magnification command to the computer device according to pressing of a function key. The computer device initializes the system magnifier of the operation system and magnifies the screen content according to the first magnification command. If the operation system doesn't support the system magnifier, the input device outputs a second magnification command provided by the input device to the computer device, so that the second magnification command magnifies the screen content according to the second magnification command.

Abstract: One variation of a method for dynamically displaying multiple virtual and augmented reality scenes on a single display includes determining a set of global transform parameters from a combination of user-defined inputs, user-measured inputs, and device orientation and position derived from sensor inputs; calculating a projection from a configurable function of the global transform parameters, context provided by the user and context specific to a virtual and augmented reality scene; rendering a virtual and augmented reality scene with the calculated projection on a subframe of the display; and repeating the previous two steps to render additional virtual and augmented reality scenes.

Abstract: A display drive circuit of the invention has: an initial-color-gamut-apex-coordinate-storing unit capable of storing initial color gamut apex coordinates; a user-target-color-gamut-apex-coordinate-storing unit capable of storing user target color gamut apex coordinates; a saturation-expansion-coefficient-deciding unit for deciding expansion coefficients of saturation data based on the initial and user target color gamut apex coordinates; and an expansion unit for expanding saturations of display data based on the saturation expansion coefficients. The expansion coefficients of saturation data are decided based on the initial and user target color gamut apex coordinates, and saturations of display data are expanded according to the expansion coefficients. Thus, the degree of expanding the saturations can be controlled for each color gamut or each of R, G and B color properties of an LC display panel.
