Abstract: Object sets are often organized and traversed in a hierarchical manner according to ownership, wherein a subset of contained objects are processed before or after a containing object that contains the contained objects. Such object sets may also be presented as a scene, which may involve traversing the object set in a drawing order, such as a descending distance order that renders objects in a back-to-front manner. It may be difficult to reconcile these distinct traversal techniques, particularly if different portions of the object set utilize a different traversal order. Presented herein are hybrid traversal techniques in which a selected subset of related objects is identified and traversed in a drawing order, and the remainder of the object set is traversed in an ownership order, in furtherance of various tasks that involve hybrid traversal orders and/or to facilitate the traversal of different types of object subsets within the object set.

Abstract: A platform configured to operate in different modes so that users can seamlessly switch between an authoring view and a consumption view while creating a three-dimensional scene is described herein. A first mode includes an authoring mode in which an authoring user can add and/or edit content displayed in a three-dimensional scene via a computing device. The second mode includes a consumption mode in which the authoring user can preview and/or share the content displayed in the three-dimensional scene via a head-mounted display device that is in some way connected to and/or in communication with the computing device. Consequently, the same platform (e.g., application) enables the authoring user to toggle between the two different modes while creating a three-dimensional scene that is part of an experience.

Abstract: Occurrence and co-occurrence data can be presented as a graph. A Non-directional Co-occurrence Graph represents occurrences of an item x as a node and co-occurrences, of items x and y, as an edge between the nodes for x and y. The size of a node can depend on the log, or a scaled value, of its occurrences. A Directional Co-occurrence Graph is the same as a Non-directional Co-occurrence Graph, except there can be, between each pair of nodes, up to two directed edges. An edge pointing from x to y can be used to represent the following ratio: number of co-occurrences of x and y divided by the number of occurrences of x. More specifically, the thickness of the edge can be proportional to the ratio. Net sentiment can be determined for an item x and used to modify the graphical representation (e.g., the color) of a node or edge.

The script may be analyzed for consistency and/or cohesiveness in the context of the VR representation or experience. A preview of the VR experience or content can be generated from the script and/or the VR representation.

Abstract: A 3-D picture signal is provided as follows. An image and depth components having a depth map for the image are provided, the depth map includes depth indication values. A depth indication value relates to a particular portion of the image and indicates a distance between an object at least partially represented by that particular portion of the image and the viewer. The 3-D picture signal conveys the 3-D picture according to a 3D format having image frames encoding the image. Extra frames (D, D?) are encoded that provide the depth components and further data for use in rendering based on the image and the depth components. The extra frames are encoded using spatial and/or temporal subsampling of the depth components and the further data, while the extra frames are interleaved with the image frames in the signal in a Group of Pictures coding structure (GOP).
