  • Efficient manipulation of surfaces in multi-dimensional space using energy agents
    Patent number: 11386257
    Abstract: Various implementations for efficiently manipulating surfaces in a multi-dimensional space using energy agents are described. A context including one or more surfaces is rendered for display in the multi-dimensional space. One or more events manipulating the one or more surfaces of the context are detected. One or more energy agents are computed for the one or more surfaces of the context based on the one or more events. A visual effect manipulating the one or more surfaces of the context is applied based on the one or more energy agents.

  • Manipulating Virtual Camera Dolly in Multi-Dimensional Space to Produce Visual Effect
    Publication number: 20190005146
    Abstract: Various implementations for manipulating a virtual camera dolly in a multi-dimensional space to produce a visual effect are described. Content is rendered for display via a viewport. The viewport displays a virtual multi-dimensional space. A content movement input is received. A visual effect is determined to apply to the content based on the content movement input and a position of the content relative to a boundary associated with an anchor position in the multi-dimensional space. A virtual camera dolly is manipulated to produce the visual effect. The virtual camera dolly represents a viewing perspective for viewing the content via the viewport in the multi-dimensional space.

  • Expedited processing and handling of events
    Patent number: 9772889
    Abstract: Various implementations for expedited processing and handling of events are described. A first event associated with a set of one or more surfaces rendered for display in a multi-dimensional space is detected. The first event is routed to a first set of one or more event processors for processing. The first event is processed using the first set of one or more event processors and after the processing, the first event is handled using one or more first event handlers.
