Abstract: A computer-implemented method to display a rendered image is described. A base image is obtained. A rendered image is obtained.

The set of layered images is displayed.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed at least in part to sensing movement of an electronic display and canceling perceived movement of content on the electronic display in response to the sensing. A display manager may reassign “physical pixels” to “image pixels” (or virtual pixels) such that the image appears to be stationary while the physical pixels are moving due to movement of the electronic display. For example, if the physical pixels are moving upward, the image pixels may be reassigned downward in an equal and opposite manner. The user's persistence of vision may then be reinforced by reassignment of the pixels by the display manager. For example, text displayed on the electronic display may be more readable and images more easily viewed by a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying and manipulating the display of digital character strings where the length of the character string extends beyond the width of a desired output display. In response to a user request to display a character string, a client can generate a truncated representation of the character string using at least one truncation symbol when the character string extends beyond the width of an output display. A client can modify the display of the truncated representation of the character string in response to detecting a signal corresponding to a change in location of the truncation symbol. The signal can be detected from a touchscreen or input device. This allows a user to view any portion of a selected character string, including those portions that may be obscured by the truncation symbol.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a two-dimensional (2-D) drawing is shown in an augmented reality view on a display screen of an electronic device. A three-dimensional (3-D) model is imposed within a view of the physical structure captured by a camera. The 2-D drawing is also imposed within the view of the physical structure. A portion of the 2-D drawing whose details correspond to internal features of the physical structure may be shown by sliding the 2-D drawing from a particular position to a different position, or by displaying the 2-D drawing within context of the 3-D model, which is in turn displayed within context of the view of the physical structure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing an image capture of a geographic area is presented. The enhancement involves receiving an image and aligning a three dimensional model to the received image. A view of the three dimensional model defined by the outline of the received image may be determined. A point of interest in the determined view of the aligned three dimensional model may be identified. A transition may be triggered between the received image to information from the three dimensional model associated with the point of interest.

Abstract: A method for creating a graphical representation of data is performed at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory. The device receives a finite set of data points and calculates a respective conical distribution for each respective data point centered on the respective data point and based on a respective data value. Each conical distribution comprises a set of locations and a unique distribution value corresponding to each location. The device determines that a first data value of a first data point is less than a distribution value for a second data point. The distribution value has a location that corresponds to the first data point. Based on that determination, the device calculates an inverse conical distribution in a region around the first data point. The device combines the conical distributions and inverse conical distributions to display a data visualization that includes each of the data points.

Abstract: A method for creating a graphical representation of data in the form of a heatmap is performed at an electronic computing device. The device positions data points on a heatmap for graphical representation and calculates conical distribution values around a first data point based on a first data value associated with the first data point. When a conical distribution value around the first data point is greater than a second data value associated with a second data point, the device adjusts the conical distribution values proximate to the second data point by applying an inverse conical distribution around the second data point. The device renders the heatmap based on the calculated conical distribution values and the adjusted conical distribution values so that the data value of the second data point is visible on the heatmap.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for controlling a virtual depth of field perceived by a wearer of a see-thru display device. The method includes estimating the ocular depth of field of the wearer and projecting virtual imagery with a specified amount of blur. The amount of blur is determined as a function of the ocular depth of field. Another embodiment provides a method for controlling an ocular depth of field of a wearer of a see-thru display device. This method includes computing a target value for the depth of field and increasing the pixel brightness of the virtual imagery presented to the wearer. The increase in pixel brightness contracts the wearer's pupils and thereby deepens the depth of field to the target value.

Abstract: A method and system displaying the output from an application on a fixed orientation display is disclosed. The method is performed at an application stored on an electronic device. The application sends a request to display output from the application in a second orientation with second dimensions. The application receives from the electronic device a notification that a display associated with the electronic device is a fixed orientation display with a first orientation and first dimensions and a notification that the requested second orientation and second dimensions are different from the first orientation. The application then determines optimal dimensions to display the output from the application based on the first orientation and first dimensions associated with the fixed display. The application then scales output data to match the determined optimal dimensions. The application then sends the scaled output data to the device for display on the fixed display.
