Abstract: A system and method for generating input data from a pose estimate for a pose (position and orientation) of a manipulated object operated in a three-dimensional environment that offers optical features. The manipulated object has an on-board photodetector for providing light data and an on-board auxiliary motion detection component for providing relative motion data indicative of a change in an orientation, a change in position or both (relative change in pose). A processor in communication with the on-board photodetector and auxiliary motion detection component uses light data to determine an absolute pose estimate at times ti and relative motion data to determine a relative pose change. The processor deploys a technique that combines the absolute pose estimate from the light data and the relative pose change from the relative motion data to provide the pose estimate at an application request time tr.

Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods for both viewing and interacting with a virtual reality (VR), an augmented reality (AR) or a mixed reality (MR). More specifically, the systems and methods allow the user to interact with aspects of such realities including virtual items presented in such realities or within such environments by manipulating a control device that has an inside-out camera mounted on-board. The apparatus or system uses two distinct representations including a reduced representation in determining the pose of the control device and uses these representations to compute an interactive pose portion of the control device to be used for interacting with the virtual item. The reduced representation is consonant with a constrained motion of the control device.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for decomposing a video to salient fragments and synthesizing a video composition based on the salient fragments. A computer-implemented method receives a first set of salient fragments and a first set of clusters extracted from a video, where each cluster includes related salient fragments connected by a connectivity graph. The method determines a weight associated with each of the salient fragments and each of the clusters based on an activity level associated with the respective salient fragment or cluster and determine a permissible zone of activity. The method determines a spatial-temporal distortion to be applied to each salient fragment and cluster and synthesizes a video composition based on the first set of salient fragments, the first set of clusters and non-salient portions of the video using weighted editing.
