Abstract: A graphics processing system for generating a render output using an input curve defined in a world space includes processing circuitry configured to determine a portion of a canonical curve defined in canonical space that corresponds to the input curve and the transformation needed to map the input curve to the portion of the canonical curve. For sampling points in the world space surrounding the input curve, the processing circuitry is configured to transform the sampling points from the world space to the canonical space using the determined transformation between the world space and the canonical space; and determine, in the canonical space, the closest point on the determined portion of the canonical curve to the transformed sampling point. The system also includes processing circuitry capable of using the determined closest points on the canonical curve for the transformed sampling points in the canonical space when generating a render output.

Abstract: An incident scene is searchable via a portable communication device and method that provides for displaying a masked augmented reality of the incident scene to the display of the portable communication device. A geofenced area is applied within the displayed masked augmented reality of the incident scene as an indication to the user of an area to be searched. As the geofenced area is searched, masking is removed from the displayed masked augmented reality of the incident scene. The masking is only being removed within the geofenced area based on user attention span provided to the geofenced area. The removal of masking indicates areas that have been searched.

Abstract: An HMD device identifies a pose of the device and identifies a subset of a plurality of camera viewpoints of a light-field based on the pose. The HMD device interpolates image data of the light-field based on the pose and the subset of the plurality of camera viewpoints to generate an interpolated view; and displays at the HMD device an image based on the interpolated view. By interpolating based on the subset of camera viewpoints, the HMD device can reduce processing overhead and improve the user experience.

Abstract: The same set of render commands can be re-executed for each of a plurality of tiles making up a graphic scene to be rendered. Each time the list of commands is executed, the way the commands are executed may be modified based on information received from tile pre-processing. Specifically, a jump if command may be inserted into the command list. When this command is encountered, a determination is made, based on information received from tile pre-processing pipeline, whether to execute the command for the next primitive or not. If the next primitive is to be culled then the command for the next primitive is not executed and the flow moves past that command. If the next primitive is to be executed then the jump is not implemented. This enables avoiding reloading the same list of commands over and over for every tile.

Abstract: Systems and method for selectively applying blinders to remove high peripheral optical flow from three-dimensional imagery. When users experience visual cues corresponding to motion in virtual reality without corresponding non-visual clues (such as cues from the vestibular system), motion sickness can result. Peripheral optic flow is a particularly strong visual cue associated with motion. However, unconditionally removing peripheral imagery significantly reduces user immersion. Embodiments of the invention can selectively apply peripheral blinders to remove high peripheral optic flow and add non-visual motion cues (such as directional audio) corresponding to the virtual motion to reduce or eliminate the disconnect that can cause motion sickness.
