  • Publication number: 20240087080
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method includes receiving a warped image representing simulated reality (SR) content (e.g., to be displayed in a display space), the warped image having a plurality of pixels at respective locations uniformly spaced in a grid pattern in a warped space, wherein the plurality of pixels are respectively associated with a plurality of respective pixel values and a plurality of respective scaling factors indicating a plurality of respective resolutions at a plurality of respective locations of the SR content (e.g., in the display space). The method includes processing the warped image in the warped space based on the plurality of respective scaling factors to generate a processed warped image and transmitting the processed warped image.

  • Patent number: 11875162
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to providing a computer-generated reality (CGR) platform for generating CGR environments including virtual and augmented reality environments. In some embodiments, information related to an object to be simulated and rendered in the CGR environment is provided to the CGR platform, and a three-dimensional representation of the object is displayed in the CGR environment.

  • Patent number: 11372655
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to providing a computer-generated reality (CGR) platform for generating CGR environments including virtual and augmented reality environments. In some embodiments, the platform includes an operating-system-level (OS-level) process that simulates and renders content in the CGR environment, and one or more application-level processes that provide information related to the content to be simulated and rendered to the OS-level process.

  • Patent number: 11087430
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to data drive a render graph are described. A render graph system defines one or more nodes for a render graph and one or more render targets associated with the nodes. The nodes includes one or more functions to define and resolve target handles for identifying render targets. The render graph system defines one or more connections between the nodes and render targets. The connection between the nodes and render targets form the render graph. The render graph system stores the render graph as a data file and converts, with a render graphics API, the data file into a render graph data object. The render graph system performs a frame setup phase the setups the render graph for a frame based on the render graph data object.
