Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing methods for cloud-based rendering of interactive augmented reality (AR) and/or virtual reality (VR) experiences. A client device may initiate execution of a content application on a server and provide information associated with the content application to the server. The client device may initialize, while awaiting a notification from the server, local systems associated with the content application and, upon receipt of the notification, provide, to the server, information associated with the local systems. Further, the client device may receive, from the server, data associated with the content application and render an AR/VR scene based on the received data. The data may be based, at least in part, on the information associated with the local system. The providing and receiving may be performed periodically, e.g., at a rate to sustain a comfortable viewing environment of the AR/VR scene by a user of the client device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for low bandwidth consumption online content editing, where user-created content comprising high definition/quality content is created or modified at an online content editing server according to instructions from an online content editor client, and where a proxy version of the resulting user-created content is provided to online content editor client to facilitate review or further editing of the user-created content from the online content editor client. In some embodiments, the online content editing server utilizes proxy content during creation and modification operations on the user-created content, and replaces such proxy content with corresponding higher definition/quality content, possibly when the user-created content is published for consumption, or when the user has paid for the higher quality content.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and computer program product are provided that receive video feeds from corresponding cameras distributed at different positions and orientations throughout a physical environment, and obtain location data associated with the cameras. The location data is indicative of at least one of the position or orientation for the corresponding camera. The method, system and computer program product identify, from the multiple cameras, a camera combination that includes first and second cameras that have overlapping fields of view (FOV) based on the location data and form a panoramic video of at least a portion of the environment by combining the content from the first and second cameras identified based on the location data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for scheduling a season recording. A series is provided to a user device, the series having a plurality of sequential seasons, and each season having a plurality of episodes. A request for recording the series is received from the user. In response, a last episode of the series watched by the user is identified. A relevant season of the plurality of seasons is then determined, such that the relevant season precedes another season of the plurality of seasons and includes the last episode watched by the user. Then, episodes of the relevant season that follow the last episode watched by the user are scheduled for recording, such that episodes of a season that precedes the relevant season are not scheduled for recording.

Abstract: Virtual 3D display apparatus has a display zone, an optical fiber assembly and a motor. The optical fiber assembly includes optical fibers each having an input end for entrance of light and an output end. There are light sources each at the input end of a respective optical fiber for generating a light signal that enters and travels along the optical fiber and is then emitted at the output end thereof. The emitted light signals together form a virtual 3D image in the display zone upon rotation of the optical fiber assembly by the motor. There are also control elements at the input ends of respective optical fibers, each for operation to make adjustment of the virtual 3D image based on a control signal that travels along the respective optical fiber, with the adjustment to be made to a part of the virtual 3D image associated with the same optical fiber.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and apparatus for a scenario of editing multimedia resources, a device and a storage medium. The method includes: in response to an editing instruction triggered for a target editing template, displaying an import page of a material segment to be edited corresponding to the target editing template, wherein a setting entry for the material segment to be edited and a prompt entry for the material segment to be edited are presented on the import page; in response to a trigger for the prompt entry, displaying an original material segment corresponding to the material segment to be edited; in response to a trigger operation for the setting entry, determining the material segment to be edited; and editing the material segment to be edited into a target multimedia resource in a target editing mode indicated by the target editing template.

Abstract: “Binge watching” of multiple episodes of a program is improved by the player device automatically skipping repeated portions of the program. Opening and closing credit scenes, for example, can be automatically skipped to thereby allow the viewer to progress through the entire season of programming at an even faster rate than was previously thought possible. Programming to be skipped may be identified by detecting audio or other digital fingerprints in the content itself, for example. Content to be skipped may be identified to the playback device according to anchor points or other references in the programming itself.

Abstract: A method for aligning coordinate systems from separate augmented reality (AR) devices is described. In one aspect, a first device accesses first pose data from a first Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) system of the first device. A camera of the first device captures an image of a machine-readable code that is displayed on a display of a second device. The second device encodes the machine-readable code with second pose data from a second VIO system of the second device. The first device decodes the second pose data from the machine-readable code, and determines a relative pose between the first device and the second device based on the first pose data and the second pose data.
