An example system combines real time measurement and tracking components with functionality to compile data collected by the hardware to register a bone of a patient, calculate an axis (e.g., mechanical axis) of the leg of the patient, assist a surgeon in placing cut guides, and verify a placement of an inserted prosthesis.

Abstract: A context aware clipping mask is described. Context aware clipping masks may provide an automated approach for creating clipping sets that generate aesthetically pleasing photo texts. In at least some implementations, an input image is analyzed to generate an image saliency map and an image gradient map. A plurality of image rects of varying sizes and aspect ratios are generated on a grid over the input image. A score is assigned to each image rect, incorporating a visual composition, a boundary simplicity based on the image gradient map, and a content preservation based on the image saliency map. An image rect with the highest score is selected and utilized to create a photo text from the input image.

Abstract: Many headset devices, such as virtual reality helmets, present visuals that respond to the user's motion, such that a rotation of the user's head causes the visual to be re-rendered from a correspondingly rotated perspective. The lag between the user's motion and the updated rendering from the new perspective may be perceivable even at high framerates, and may induce unpleasant feelings such as vertigo. Instead, headset devices may respond to detected motion by identifying a displacement of the physical location of the visual that causes it to maintain a physical position relative to a stationary reference point. The display is operatively coupled with a displacer, such as actuators or a projection adjustment, that are engaged to displace the display according to the identified displacement and maintain a physical location of the visual relative to the stationary reference point (e.g., until the visual is re-rendered from the updated perspective).
