Abstract: Adding new nodes to a graph diagram. A set of one or more new nodes is identified from a graph to be added to an existing graph diagram. A set of one or more anchor candidate nodes are identified in the graph that are coupled to the nodes in the set of one or more new nodes. One of the nodes in the set of one or more anchor candidate nodes is selected as an anchor node. An automatic graph diagram layout of the anchor node and new nodes that are to be coupled to the anchor node is performed to create a disjoint graph diagram. A spatial offset from the anchor node to each of the new nodes coupled to the anchor node in the disjoint graph diagram is identified. Each of the new nodes is added to the existing graph diagram while maintaining the identified spatial offsets.

Abstract: An environmental visualization system is provided for visualization of an energy spectrum. The environmental visualization system may include a front-end system configured to receive input from sensors configured to measure emissions within an environment of a user, and provide a corresponding sensed input that includes a at least one energy frequency of the emissions and that indicates a spatial-temporal distribution of the emissions within the environment. The system may also include an energy spectrum system configured to generate from the sensed input, a multidimensional layout that depicts the at least one energy frequency and spatial-temporal distribution of the emissions from which a significance of the emissions is identifiable, in which the front-end system may be configured to output the multidimensional layout for display by a display device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein include an augmented reality (AR) system that predictively renders images which may reduce or remove lag. Instead of rendering images in response to sensing changes in the user orientation, the AR system generates predictive images by predicting future user orientations. The AR system can render multiple predictive images that each includes AR content that will be displayed at a future time. Because the predictive images are generated using different user orientations, the location of an object in the AR content in each of the predictive images is different. The predictive images are transmitted to the AR device which selects one of the images to display by comparing the orientations used to generate each of the predictive images with the current (actual) orientation of the user.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a mixed-reality environment is provided. The system and method provides a user-worn sub-system communicatively connected to a synthetic object computer module. The user-worn sub-system may utilize a plurality of user-worn sensors to capture and process data regarding a user's pose and location. The synthetic object computer module may generate and provide to the user-worn sub-system synthetic objects based information defining a user's real world life scene or environment indicating a user's pose and location. The synthetic objects may then be rendered on a user-worn display, thereby inserting the synthetic objects into a user's field of view. Rendering the synthetic objects on the user-worn display creates the virtual effect for the user that the synthetic objects are present in the real world.

The position of the visible portion of the page of information on the display is constrained if the motion does not exceed the threshold.

Abstract: A computer executable chart visualization may be generated from a static image of the chart visualization. The static image, a set of pre-defined chart elements, and a portion of the static image that corresponds to a pre-defined chart element may each be identified. A mapping between the portion of the static image and the pre-defined chart elements may be determined, and a visual or logical property of each portion of the static image may be determined. A declarative description of the chart visualization may be generated by setting the visual properties for each of the respective pre-defined chart elements.

Abstract: A data processing system composites graphics content, generated by an application program running on the data processing system, to generate image data. The data processing system stores the image data in a first framebuffer and displays an image generated from the image data in the first framebuffer on an internal display device of the data processing system. A scaler in the data processing system performs scaling operations on the image data in the first framebuffer, stores the scaled image data in a second framebuffer and displays an image generated from the scaled image data in the second framebuffer on an external display device coupled to the data processing system. The scaler performs the scaling operations asynchronously with respect to the compositing of the graphics content. The data processing system automatically mirrors the image on the external display device unless the application program is publishing additional graphics content for display on the external display device.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes systems, methods, and computer readable media for generating an augmented scene display. An exemplary method includes forming, using a display device operating in a first stage, an augmented virtual image by emitting light rays through a plurality of spatial light modulation layers included in a display device. The method also includes forming, using the display device operating in a second stage, an occluded real image by opening a shutter element of the display device to receive light rays from a real object and utilizing the plurality of spatial light modulation layers to block any light ray from the real object which coincides with the augmented virtual image. The method further includes generating an augmented scene display that includes both the occluded real image and the augmented virtual image by alternating the operation of the display device between the first stage and the second stage.

Abstract: A graphics animation and compositing operations framework has a layer tree for interfacing with the application and a render tree for interfacing with a render engine. Layers in the layer tree can be content, windows, views, video, images, text, media or other type of objects for an application's user interface. The application commits state changes of the layers of the layer tree. The application does not need to include explicit code for animating the changes to the layers. Instead, after a synchronization threshold has been met, an animation is determined for animating the change in state by the framework which can define a set of predetermined animations based on motion, visibility and transition. The determined animation is explicitly applied to the affected layers in the render tree. A render engine renders from the render tree into a frame buffer, synchronized with the display. Portions of the render tree changing relative to prior versions can be tracked to improve resource management.

Abstract: Adding new nodes to a graph diagram. A set of one or more new nodes is identified from a graph to be added to an existing graph diagram. A set of one or more anchor candidate nodes are identified in the graph that are coupled to the nodes in the set of one or more new nodes. One of the nodes in the set of one or more anchor candidate nodes is selected as an anchor node. An automatic graph diagram layout of the anchor node and new nodes that are to be coupled to the anchor node is performed to create a disjoint graph diagram. A spatial offset from the anchor node to each of the new nodes coupled to the anchor node in the disjoint graph diagram is identified. Each of the new nodes is added to the existing graph diagram while maintaining the identified spatial offsets.
