Abstract: Systems and methods create and distribute addressable virtual content with interactivity. The virtual content may depict a live event and may be customized for each individual user based on dynamic characteristics (e.g., habits, preferences, etc.) of the user that are captured during user interaction with the virtual content. The virtual content is generated with low latency between the actual event and the live content that allows the user to interactively participate in actions related to the live event. The virtual content may represent a studio with multiple display screens that each show different live content (of the same or different live events), and may also include graphic displays that include related data such as statistics corresponding to the live event, athletes at the event, and so on. The content of the display screens and graphics may be automatically selected based on the dynamic characteristics of the user.

Abstract: A method for virtual object pose rendering includes receiving a digital image of a real-world object in a real-world environment. An imaged pose of the real-world object is estimated based at least in part on a neural radiance model encoding 3D (three-dimensional) spatial data for the real-world object, the neural radiance model derived from a plurality of previously captured digital images of the real-world object. A view of a virtual object corresponding to the real-world object is rendered based at least in part on the neural radiance model, such that the virtual object has a virtual pose consistent with the imaged pose of the real-world object in the digital image.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for implementing blur effects in 360-degree spherical space is disclosed. The method operates by identifying a pair of great circles 106 in a spherical view 100 which intersect orthogonally at a pixel (?0,?0) to which the blur effect is to be applied. The great circles are mapped to a two-dimensional representation 102 of the image data and used as orthogonal axes to define a blur area. In some examples a series of points (?i,?i) along each great circle 106 are extracted and used to form one-dimensional sampling arrays which are swept across the two-dimensional image data in two orthogonal directions.

Abstract: Examples herein describe systems and methods for aligning elements, such as conduit, ductwork, and plumbing within a computer-aided design (“CAD”) application. A plugin can provide an element alignment option on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of the CAD program. An anchor point from which to align elements is selected in the GUI so that the plugin can choose locations within a structure to run multiple elements in parallel alignment. The system can recommend an alignment plane based on the slopes of the selected multiple elements and provide a direction for a run of the multiple elements. The systems retrieve the specifications and parameters of each individual element to determine its spacing among the run of multiple elements. The run of multiple elements is displayed and manipulated by the plugin via the GUI.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data loading method. The method comprises: reading data from an initial address in a memory; obtaining a frame header identifier, loading a valid data segment comprising the frame header identifier; verifying the valid data segment; when it is determined that the verification is successful, sending at least part of information within the valid data segment to a cache unit; updating a register according to at least part of the information by the cache unit. Using a specific frame header identifier, loading data in the memory starts only from the specific frame header identifier, which skips the data before the frame header identifier and avoids loading invalid data in the cache unit, thus saving time, preventing lengthy program, and being more scientific and convenient.

Abstract: A mesh model of a 3D space is provided with improved accuracy by refining the locations of edges of objects in the space. The mesh model includes vertices which define surfaces of triangles. Triangles are identified which have two vertices in one plane and another, outlier vertex in another, adjacent plane. A line is fitted to the outlier vertices to define an edge of an object, and the outlier vertices are moved to the line, referred to as a mesh-based line. Texture data from images of the space can be used to further refine the edge. In one approach, gradients in grayscale pixels which correspond the vertices of the mesh-based line are used to define a grayscale-based line. The two line definitions can be combined or otherwise used to provide a final definition of the edge. The object can be measured based on the length and position of the edge.
