  • Publication number: 20240073397
    Abstract: A wallpaper system presents a first wallpaper image of a wallpaper video to a user and receives, via a user input device, one or both of: (i) a spatial user input selection, and (ii) a time user input selection from the user to apply to the wallpaper video. In response to detecting one or both of: (i) the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the time user input selection, the wallpaper system determines one or both of: (i) a respective spatial movement parameter within a wallpaper video associated with the spatial user input selection, and (ii) a respective time coordinate within the wallpaper video associated with the time user input selection. Wallpaper system presents, via the image display, a second wallpaper image associated with one or both of: (i) the respective spatial movement parameter, and (ii) the respective time coordinate.

  • Patent number: 11605154
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations including: receiving, by a messaging application, an image captured by a front-facing camera of a computing device of a first user; displaying, by the messaging application, the image on a display screen of the computing device; receiving a request to send the image to a computing device of a second user; in response to receiving the request, generating a mirrored version of the image that was captured by the front-facing camera; and sending the mirrored version of the image to the second user.

  • Publication number: 20220230284
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable mediums including processes to correct for distortion in images introduced by eyewear (i.e., where the facial region surrounding the eye has a boundary that doesn't match the boundary of an uncovered facial region). The correction includes segmenting images to detect eyewear covered facial regions and facial regions not covered by the eyewear and altering the covered facial regions to match the covered facial boundary to the uncovered facial boundary. Alterations include processing using a machine learning model, applying anti-refraction algorithms, scaling the covered facial region to match boundaries of the uncovered facial region, or a combination thereof.
