  • Publication number: 20190384785
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for representing streamed and structured information. A computing device can receive data from data sources. The computing device can generate a data frame that includes data items based on the received data. The computing device can determine a data ontology, where the data ontology can include datanodes. The computing device can determine data pins which include a first data pin. The first data pin can include a first reference and a second reference. The first reference can refer to a first data item in the data frame and the second reference can refer to a first datanode of the plurality of datanodes. The first datanode can be related to the first data item. The computing device can obtain data for the first data item at the first datanode via the first data pin and then can provide a representation of the data ontology.

  • Publication number: 20090276288
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new and unique platform for authoring and deploying interactive characters which are powered by artificial intelligence. The platform permits the creation of a virtual world populated by multiple characters and objects, interacting with one another so as to create a life-like virtual world and interacting with a user so as to provide a more interesting and powerful experience for the user. This system can be used for entertainment purposes, for commercial purposes, for educational purposes, etc.

  • Publication number: 20050140668
    Abstract: A method for presenting graphics to a user is disclosed, the method comprising providing a 3D graphics system comprising a 3D graphics environment and at least one virtual object positioned in the 3D graphics environment, providing a 2D graphics rendering engine configured to use 2D mathematics, and providing a library of sprites for use by the 2D graphics rendering engine, selecting a camera perspective within the 3D graphics environment, based on the selected camera perspective, generating an appropriate 2D view of the 3D graphics environment, based on the generated 2D view, selecting an appropriate sprite and, for that sprite, the appropriate rendered view for that sprite, determining the appropriate screen location and scale for the selected rendered view for the sprite, and instructing the 2D graphics rendering engine to paint the selected rendered view for the sprite to the determined screen location and with the determined scale.
