Abstract: Techniques for performing cache invalidates and write-backs in an accelerated processing device (e.g., a graphics processing device that renders three-dimensional graphics) are disclosed. The techniques involve receiving requests from a “master” (e.g., the central processing unit). The techniques involve invalidating virtual-to-physical address translations in an address translation request. The techniques include splitting up the requests based on whether the requests target virtually or physically tagged caches. Addresses for the portions of a request that target physically tagged caches are translated using invalidated virtual-to-physical address translations for speed. The split up request is processed to generate micro-transactions for individual caches targeted by the request. Micro-transactions for physically and virtually tagged caches are processed in parallel. Once all micro-transactions for a request have been processed, the unit that made the request is notified.

Abstract: A head-mounted display including a display unit, a detector, and a first control unit. The display unit is mountable on a head of a user and capable of providing the user with a field of view of a real space. The detector detects an azimuth of the display unit around at least one axis. The first control unit includes a region limiter, a storage unit, and a display control unit. The region limiter is capable of limiting a display region of the field of view along a direction of the one axis in three-dimensional coordinates surrounding the display unit. The storage unit stores images including information relating to a predetermined target present in the field of view with the images being made corresponding to the three-dimensional coordinates. The display control unit is configured to display, based on an output of the detector, an image in the three-dimensional coordinates, which corresponds to the azimuth, in the field of view.

Abstract: Techniques for intuitive modifications of digital graphics in a digital media environment are described. For example, a digital graphics creation system accesses vector artwork including a vector object, such as a Bezier curve. The digital graphics creation system receives user inputs, including a user input defining handles on the vector object and a user input interacting with the handles indicating a desired change to the vector object. The digital graphics creation system modifies the vector artwork, including the vector object, by accounting for topology of the vector object and maintaining connections between connected segments of the vector object. The digital graphics creation system outputs the modified vector artwork, including the vector object, such as in a user interface.

Abstract: While a virtual reality environment is being presented to a user, at least a first sound in a real world environment in which the user physically is located can be detected. a nature of the first sound can be determined. Based on the nature of the first sound, a second sound that matches a theme of the virtual reality environment can be selected. The first sound can be masked by presenting the second sound to the user in the virtual reality environment.

Abstract: A smartphone may be freely moved in three dimensions as it captures a stream of images of an object. Multiple image frames may be captured in different orientations and distances from the object and combined into a composite image representing an three-dimensional image of the object. The image frames may be formed into the composite image based on representing features of each image frame a set of points in a three dimensional depth map. Coordinates of the points in the depth map may be estimated with a level of certainty. The level of certainty may be used to determine which points are included in the composite image. The selected points may be smoothed and a mesh model may be formed by creating a convex hull of the selected points. The mesh model and associated texture information may be used to render a three-dimensional representation of the object on a two-dimensional display.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to retrieving images from a device for consumption by the receiving device. In some implementations, a computing device may receive from a communication device an update to a collection of images including at least one image not previously received in a prior version of the collection. The computing device may store in long term memory the update to the collection and copy at least one of the images from the update to a non-persistent memory. The images in non-persistent memory may not exceed a maximum threshold. In response to the computing device changing from inactive to active, the computing device may display an image from non-persistent memory as a background image on the computing device. In further response to a minimum threshold number of images in non-persistent memory, the computing device may copy at least one of the new images to non-persistent memory.

Abstract: A method of managing Proxy Objects by attaching Meta Data to each Proxy and HD Object. The Meta Data enables the user to programmatically swap one Proxy Object with one or more HD Objects. All Proxy Objects and HD Objects are stored in a secure database structure that protects the content owner's intellectual property while providing access by users to the proxy objects and all related product information. Non-technical and non-CAD users can configure objects within a space by selecting an object, browsing a catalog of possible alternative objects, viewing specific product details and then selecting the object to replace the selected object. Once a new object is selected, a photo realistic 360 image of a scene is created in real time without any special software on the user's computer or any special training.
