Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) divides an image into a high resolution (HR) inset portion at a first resolution, a peripheral portion, and a transitional portion. The peripheral portion is downsampled to a second resolution that is less than the first resolution. The transitional portion is blended such that there is a smooth change in resolution that corresponds to a change in resolution between a fovea region and a non-fovea region of a retina. An inset region is generated using the HR inset portion and the blended transitional portion, and a background region is generated using the downsampled peripheral portion. The inset region is provided to a HR inset display, and the background region is provided to a peripheral display. An optics block combines the displayed inset region with the displayed background region to generate composite content.

Abstract: This invention is a system and method for defining a location-specific augmented reality capability for use in portable devices having a camera. The system and method uses recent photographs or digital drawings of a particular location to help the user of the system or method position the portable device in a specific place. Once aligned, a digital scene is displayed to the user transposed over (and combined with) the camera view of the current, real-world environment at that location, creating an augmented reality experience for the user.

Abstract: In a vehicle display device including a HUD that displays a virtual image on a front field of a view of a driver and a viewpoint detecting camera that captures an image of the driver, a measuring camera is capable of capturing the virtual image. A calibration pattern is at a predetermined position with respect to a viewing angle of the virtual image and angles of view of the viewpoint detecting and measuring cameras. The calibration pattern is captured by the viewpoint detecting and measuring cameras, and the virtual image is captured by the measuring camera. The relative position and orientation between the viewpoint detecting camera and HUD are calculated as orientation information using an image captured by the viewpoint detecting camera and an image captured by the measuring camera. In addition, the position of the virtual image displayed by the HUD is adjusted using the calculated orientation information.

Abstract: A graphics presentation apparatus including a display unit, an eye-tracking module, and a data output module. The eye-tracking module registers image data representing at least one eye of a user of the apparatus. Furthermore, the eye-tracking module determines, based on the registered image data, an orientation of the at least one eye relative to the display unit. Finally, in response thereto, the eye-tracking module generates a control signal controlling the data output module to produce visual content with such orientation on the display unit that a misalignment between the orientation of said at least one part and the orientation of the at least one eye of the user is minimized.

Abstract: A logging data about a signal identifier of the I/O signals which changed in on/off state are stored in a ring buffer. A logging screen includes identifier display parts, logic-graph display parts and first and second cursors. The logic-graph display parts display logic graphs associated with signal identifiers, respectively. When any one of the identifier display parts displayed on the logging screen is clicked, the logging screen is changed to an input window. If a desired input identifier is input in the input window, the logging data associated with the signal identifier is read from the ring buffer and the logic graph is displayed in the logic-graph display parts. The logic graph can be modified.

Abstract: Upon receiving a communication switching instruction from a first wireless access point used for communication with an image processing apparatus, an image display apparatus disconnects communication with the first wireless access point. Simultaneously, the image display apparatus transmits, to a second wireless access point, a link request to establish communication with the second wireless access point of a new communication destination included in the switching instruction. The image display apparatus displays, on a display unit, a captured image continuously acquired from am image capturing unit until switching from the first wireless access point to the second wireless access point finishes as communication destination switching.

Abstract: A texture processing pipeline can be configured to service memory access requests that represent texture data access operations or generic data access operations. When the texture processing pipeline receives a memory access request that represents a texture data access operation, the texture processing pipeline may retrieve texture data based on texture coordinates. When the memory access request represents a generic data access operation, the texture pipeline extracts a virtual address from the memory access request and then retrieves data based on the virtual address. The texture processing pipeline is also configured to cache generic data retrieved on behalf of a group of threads and to then invalidate that generic data when the group of threads exits.

Abstract: Augmented reality is used to simulate the impact of medical conditions on body parts and other objects within images taken of the objects. The simulations enable a user to see how a medical condition can affect the user by dynamically simulating the impact of the medical condition on captured images of body parts associated with the user in real-time. A user can select different medical conditions that are associated with different body parts. These objects are then identified within images containing the body parts using image recognition algorithms and/or user input. Thereafter, the images are modified so as to render the body parts as though the body parts were being impacted by the medical condition. The modifications are made by blending image data of the captured image with condition image data available to the processing system.

Abstract: Embodiments of graphics instruction instrumentor (“GII”) and a graphics profiler (“GP”) are described. The GII may facilitate profiling of execution of graphics instructions by one or more graphics processors. The GII may identify target graphics instructions for which execution profile information is desired. The GII may store instrumentation graphics instructions in a graphics instruction buffer. The instrumentation graphics instructions may facilitate the GP in collecting graphics profile information. For example, timestamp-storage instructions may be store timestamps before and after execution of the target graphics instructions. The GII also may store an interrupt-generation instruction to cause an interrupt to be sent to the GP so that the GP may begin collection of graphics profile data. The GII may store an event-wait instruction to pause the graphics processors until an event is received. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
