Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media which retarget 2D screencast video tutorials into an active VR host application. VR-embedded widgets can render on top of a VR host application environment while the VR host application is active. Thus, VR-embedded widgets can provide various interactive tutorial interfaces directly inside the environment of the VR host application. For example, VR-embedded widgets can present external video content, related information, and corresponding interfaces directly in a VR painting environment, so a user can simultaneously access external video (e.g., screencast video tutorials) and a VR painting. Possible VR-embedded widgets include a VR-embedded video player overlay widget, a perspective thumbnail overlay widget (e.g., a user-view thumbnail overlay, an instructor-view thumbnail overlay, etc.), an awareness overlay widget, a tutorial steps overlay widget, and/or a controller overlay widget, among others.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally pertains to methods of preparing a well-ordered nanoparticle coating on a substrate. A nanoparticle solution having nanoparticles in a solvent is deposited on a sub-phase of a denser, immiscible liquid. A constrained area on the top surface of the sub-phase is provided, where nanoparticle solution spreading is physically limited and the nanoparticles spontaneously form a uniformly ordered monolayer on the sub-phase within the constrained area. Notably, no compression of the nanoparticle film occurs after the spreading phase in order to form the monolayer. After the monolayer is formed, a substrate is placed into contact with the monolayer and coated with a well-ordered nanoparticle coating.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that generate and dynamically change filter parameters for a frame of a 360-degree video based on detecting a field of view from a computing device. As a computing device rotates or otherwise changes orientation, for instance, the disclosed systems can detect a field of view and interpolate one or more filter parameters corresponding to nearby spatial keyframes of the 360-degree video to generate view-specific-filter parameters. By generating and storing filter parameters for spatial keyframes corresponding to different times and different view directions, the disclosed systems can dynamically adjust color grading or other visual effects using interpolated, view-specific-filter parameters to render a filtered version of the 360-degree video.

Abstract: A fluid treatment device has an exchangeable treatment unit and a connection head. A bayonet-type connection device connects connection head and treatment unit to each other by a plug-in/rotation movement about a connection axis of the treatment device and is provided with a housing connection part and a head connection part that operatively engage each other to form a connection of the bayonet-type connection device. Housing connection part and head connection part each have a mutually complementary functional element extending circumferentially about the connection axis and operatively connectable to each other. One functional element has an assembly ramp passing into a first support region perpendicular to the connection axis. The other functional element has a slide region adjoined by a second support region perpendicular to the connection axis. In connection end position, first and second support regions are positioned on top of each other relative to the connection axis.

Abstract: Techniques for interacting with virtual environments. For example, a virtual reality application outputs a three-dimensional virtual reality scene. The application receives a creation of a slicing volume that is positioned within the three-dimensional virtual space. The slicing volume includes virtual elements of an object within the scene. The application projects the slicing volume onto a two-dimensional view. The application displays the two-dimensional view within the three-dimensional virtual reality scene. The application associates a surface of a physical object with the two-dimensional view. The application receives an interaction with the surface of the physical object, and based on the interaction, selects one or more virtual elements.
