Abstract: Enhanced methods and systems for the automatic generation and rendering of anamorphic (e.g., curved, distorted, deformed, and/or warped) images are described. When viewed via a reflection from a non-planar (e.g., curved) surface, the automatically generated and rendered anamorphic images are perceived as being relatively non-distorted, deformed, and/or warped. The anamorphic images may be utilized for catoptric anamorphis, e.g., projective, mirrored and/or reflective anamorphic displays of images. Various artworks may employ the automatically generated anamorphic image, and the curved reflective surface to generate a relatively undistorted reflected image of the anamorphic image.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for generating stroke predictions based on prior strokes and a reference image. An interactive drawing interface can allow a user to sketch over, or with respect to, a reference image. A UI tool such as an autocomplete or workflow clone tool can access or identify a set of prior strokes and a target region, and stroke predictions can be generated using an iterative algorithm that minimizes an energy function considering stroke-to-stroke and image-patch-to-image-patch comparisons. For any particular future stroke, one or more stroke predictions may be initialized based on the set of prior strokes. Each initialized prediction can be improved by iteratively executing search and assignment steps to incrementally improve the prediction, and the best prediction can be selected and presented as a stroke prediction for the future stroke. The process can be repeated to predict any number of future strokes.

Abstract: A server machine modifies an augmented reality (AR) object in response to fulfillment of a condition. The machine provides, to a user device, object data that defines the AR object. The object data specifies a physical geolocation of the AR object, a presentation attribute of the AR object, a conditional modification program, and a trigger condition for execution of the conditional modification program. The object data causes the user device to present the AR object with a first appearance, located at the physical geolocation. The machine detects fulfillment of the trigger condition, and in response, the machine executes the conditional modification program. This modifies the object data by modifying the presentation attribute. The machine provides, to the user device, the modified object data, which causes the user device to present the AR object with a second appearance based on the modified presentation attribute.
