  • Publication number: 20240126955
    Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor, a machine learning (ML) model-based corrector trained to predict a deformation of a velocity field, and a system memory storing software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive a deformation template and a deformed velocity field produced based on the deformation template, predict, using the ML model-based corrector based on the deformation template and the deformed velocity field, a correction to the deformed velocity field, and correct the deformed velocity field, using the correction, to provide a corrected velocity field. In some implementations, the hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to advect the corrected velocity field to provide a density field of a corrected simulation of a deformation of a fluid or a viscoelastic material, and produce, using the density field, the corrected simulation.

  • Patent number: 11716376
    Abstract: A system for managing non-linear transmedia content data is provided. Memory stores a plurality of transmedia content data items and associated linking data which define time-ordered content links between the plurality of transmedia content data items. The plurality of transmedia content data items are arranged into linked transmedia content subsets comprising different groups of the transmedia content data items and different content links therebetween. A control engine receives one or more instructions to create a new time-ordered content link between at least two of the plurality of transmedia content data items. The control engine modifies the linking data stored in the memory to include the new time-ordered content link.

  • Publication number: 20230237725
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating actuation values based on a target shape such that the actuation values cause a simulator to output a simulated soft body that matches the target shape. The technique includes inputting a latent code that represents a target shape and a point on a geometric mesh into a first machine learning model. The technique further includes generating, via execution of the first machine learning model, one or more simulator control values that specify a deformation of the geometric mesh, where each of the simulator control values is based on the latent code and corresponds to the input point, and generating, via execution of the simulator, a simulated soft body based on the one or more simulator control values and the geometric mesh. The technique further includes causing the simulated soft body to be outputted to a computing device.

  • Patent number: 10375200
    Abstract: A recommender engine is configured to access memory and surface transmedia content items; and/or linked transmedia content subsets; and/or one or more identifications of identified users; and/or content items of the plurality of transmedia content items associated with at least one identified user. The surfaced items are presented for selection by the given user via the transmedia content linking engine as one or more user-selected transmedia content items.

  • Patent number: 10229215
    Abstract: A method of rendering content items on a display via an electronic device involves mapping linked content items to a three-dimensional object defined by layout data. The layout data is then transmitted to an electronic device for display.
