Patent number: 10264046Abstract: Techniques are proposed for embedding transition points in media content. A transition point system retrieves a time marker associated with a point of interest in the media content. The transition point system identifies a first position within the media content corresponding to the point of interest. The transition point system embeds data associated with the time marker into the media content at a second position that is no later in time than the first position. The transition point system causes a client media player to transition from a first image quality level to a second quality level based on the time marker.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: PixarInventor: Dominic Glynn

Patent number: 9621870Abstract: One or more techniques to reduce or eliminate the false depth of objects that move along the axis of ocular separation when displayed using time division multiplexing. Experiments can be performed to determine a perceived depth of an object moving with known velocity. Then, when rendering stereoscopic image pairs, the location of the object can be modified to change the perceived stereoscopic depth of the object to compensate for the false depth. In one technique, the images can be displayed with alternating left- and right-precedence to reduce the perception of false depth.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2011Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: PixarInventors: Dominic Glynn, Rod Bogart

Patent number: 8890892Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating images. The method includes receiving first and second target images. The method further includes computing a delta image based on a difference between the first target image and the second target image and a technique for multiplexing a first display image with the delta image, where the first display image multiplexed with the delta image, when viewed by a person in an ambient setting, is perceived as the second target image. Advantageously, a hidden image is obscured from an ambient observer, while still providing the ambient observer with a target image that is intended to be perceived.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2009Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: PixarInventors: Dominic Glynn, Anthony A.
