  • Publication number: 20250037374
    Abstract: A computing device obtains an image depicting a watch and performs segmentation on the watch in the image to generate a segmented watch region comprising a watch case region, a first watch strap region, and a second watch strap region. The computing device generates a three-dimensional (3D) mesh according to the watch case region, the first watch strap region, the second watch strap region, and a pre-defined skeleton containing at least one straight part and at least two curved parts. The computing device generates texture attributes according to the segmented watch and applies the texture attributes to the 3D mesh to generate a textured 3D watch object. The computing device renders the textured 3D watch object in an augmented reality display.

  • Patent number: 11984089
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved driving methods for four particle electrophoretic displays that improves the performance of such displays when they are deployed in low temperature environments and the displays are required to be updated when positioned vertically (i.e., the driving electric fields are substantially perpendicular to the direction of Earth's gravity). Methods are provided for displaying each of the colors at each pixel, as desired, with minimal interference (contamination) from the other particles.

  • Patent number: 11984090
    Abstract: The present invention provides four-particle electrophoretic displays with improved driving methods to achieve better color separation between adjacent pixel electrodes. The driving methods improve the color state performance when a first pixel is displaying a mixed state of a first highly-charged particle and a second lower-charged particle of the opposite polarity, while a neighboring pixel is displaying a state of a second highly-charged particle having the opposite polarity to the first highly-charged particle. The particles can be, for example, all reflective or one type of particle can be partially light transmissive.

  • Publication number: 20230293045
    Abstract: A computing device prompts a user to place the user’s hand including a wrist next to a facial region of the user. The computing device obtains an image depicting the facial region and a wrist of the user. The computing device measures a diameter of an iris in the facial region depicted in the image and measures a width of a wrist of the hand depicted in the image. The computing device estimates an actual wrist width of the user’s hand based on an actual iris diameter, the measured diameter of the iris in the facial region depicted in the image, and the measured width of the wrist of the hand depicted in the image.

  • Publication number: 20180165855
    Abstract: A computing device for providing a virtual fingernail cosmetic experience generates an initial pattern located at a first position on a user interface displaying a digital image, the digital image further displaying a target object. The computing device obtains user input for relocating the initial pattern from the first position to a location in the target object, and in response to relocating the initial pattern, extracts image attributes of the digital image. The computing device estimates at least one of: a shape, size, and an orientation of the target object utilizing the extracted image attributes, wherein the initial pattern comprises a graphic simulating fingernail polish and the target object comprises a fingernail. The computing device generates a transformed pattern from the initial pattern utilizing at least one of: the estimated shape, size, and orientation of the target object, the transformed pattern being superimposed on the target object.
