Publication number: 20230394743Abstract: A computer device includes a processor configured to simulate a virtual environment based on a set of virtual environment parameters, and perform ray tracing to render a view of the simulated virtual environment. The ray tracing includes generating a plurality of rays for one or more pixels of the rendered view of the simulated virtual environment. The processor is further configured to determine sub-pixel data for each of the plurality of rays based on intersections between the plurality of rays and the simulated virtual environment, and store the determined sub-pixel data for each of the plurality of rays in an image file.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pedro URBINA ESCOS, Dimitrios LYMBEROPOULOS, Di WANG, Emanuel SHALEV

Patent number: 11244165Abstract: The discussion relates to context-aware environments. One example can include inwardly-facing cameras positioned around a periphery of an environment that defines a volume. The example can also include sensors positioned relative to the volume and configured to communicate with a user device in the volume. The example can also include an ambient perception component configured to track user locations in the volume and to detect user gestures relative to objects in the volume, and responsive to receiving a query from the user's device, to supplement the query with information derived from the objects.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Abhishek Abhishek, Khawar Zuberi, Jie Liu, Rouzbeh Aminpour, Zhengyou Zhang, Ali Dalloul, Dimitrios Lymberopoulos, Michel Goraczko, Tony Capone, Di Wang, Yi Lu, Yasser B.

Patent number: 10819811Abstract: Various technologies pertaining to crowd sourcing data about an entity, such as a business, are described. Additionally, technologies pertaining to inferring metadata about the entity based upon crowd sourced data are described. A sensor in a mobile computing device is activated responsive to a user of the mobile computing device checking in at an entity. Metadata, such as occupancy at the entity, noise at the entity, and the like is inferred using the data captured by the sensor. A search result for the entity includes the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Dimitrios Lymberopoulos, Jie Liu, He Wang
