Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a near eye display (NED) system for displaying artificial reality content to a user and to manipulate displayed content items based upon gestures performed by users of the NED system. A user of the NED system may perform a gesture simulating the throwing of an object to “cast” a content item to a target location in an artificial reality (AR) environment displayed by the NED system. The gesture may comprise a first portion in which the user's hand “grabs” or “pinches” a virtual object corresponding to the content item and moves backwards relative to their body, and a second portion in which the user's hand moves forwards relative to their body and releases the virtual object. The target location may be identified based upon a trajectory associated with the backwards motion of the first portion of the gesture.

Abstract: A computing system and method to generate an avatar wearing multiple layers of clothing. For each clothing model acquired for the avatar, the system generates a customized clothing model based on transforming the original clothing model for fitting on the avatar based on deforming and physical simulation and a reduced clothing model based on collapsing the customized clothing model on the body of the avatar such that applying the reduced clothing model is simplified as painting the texture of the reduced clothing model onto the avatar model. Wearing the inner layers of the clothing by avatar is computed by applying the texture of the corresponding reduced clothing model on the body of the avatar in a sequence from inside layers to outside layers. The customized clothing model of the outermost layer is combined with the avatar wearing the inner layers to generate the avatar wearing the multiple layers of clothing.

Abstract: Generating a synthesized image of a person wearing clothing is described. A two-dimensional reference image depicting a person wearing an article of clothing and a two-dimensional image of target clothing in which the person is to be depicted as wearing are received. To generate the synthesized image, a warped image of the target clothing is generated via a geometric matching module, which implements a machine learning model trained to recognize similarities between warped and non-warped clothing images using multi-scale patch adversarial loss. The multi-scale patch adversarial loss is determined by sampling patches of different sizes from corresponding locations of warped and non-warped clothing images. The synthesized image is generated on a per-person basis, such that the target clothing fits the particular body shape, pose, and unique characteristics of the person.

Abstract: A platform for visualization of traffic information at an observed roadway or traffic intersection converts data collected from sensors for rendering as dynamic animations on a virtual map of the observed roadway or traffic intersection. The platform parses and curates incoming sensor data from either a single or multiple sensors representing one or more objects at the observed roadway or traffic intersection, and translates at least location data of each object for correlation of the object's movement relative to the observed roadway or traffic intersection. The platform then generates dynamic animations of the movement of each object and displays the animations as an overlay on the virtual map.

Abstract: In an approach for presenting information on an object to be observed, a processor obtains information from a sensor about an object. A processor predicts a time period in which the object is expected to be at a location and in a state, based on historical data, obtained from the sensor, associated with the object. A processor determines whether the object is at the location and in the state within the time period. A processor presents information to a user, wherein the information is about the object.

Abstract: Described herein is a mechanism for automatically correcting perspective of displayed information based on the orientation of the display device. A user can identify a screen orientation where the displayed information does not need perspective correction. The system can monitor changes to the display orientation, and when the orientation changes, the system can measure the distance to a user's eye or calculate the distance based on measured data. Based on the distance, a correction factor can be calculated. An area in the display where corrected information will be displayed is identified. The currently displayed information is corrected based on the correction factor and displayed in the identified display area.
