  • Publication number: 20250148694
    Abstract: Aspects comprise systems implementing 3-D graphics processing functionality in a multiprocessing system. Control flow structures are used in scheduling instances of computation in the multiprocessing system, where different points in the control flow structure serve as points where deferral of some instances of computation can be performed in favor of scheduling other instances of computation. In some examples, the control flow structure identifies particular tasks, such as intersection testing of a particular portion of an acceleration structure, and a particular element of shading code. In some examples, the aspects are used in 3-D graphics processing systems that can perform ray tracing based rendering.

  • Publication number: 20250104365
    Abstract: For artificial reality (XR) applications that need a guardian, aspects of the present disclosure can automatically determine where boundaries should be set in the real-world environment. Using a machine learning model, the automatic boundary system can detect the floor plane, then generate a height map of the real-world environment with the floor at zero. The height map can include positive heights (e.g., objects on the floor) and negative heights (e.g., downward leading stairs). The automatic boundary system can then generate a boundary for the area based on the detected heights by: applying thresholds to disregard objects at certain heights, applying thresholds to disregard open areas at certain widths, excluding oddly shaped areas that would constantly trigger the boundary if the user were nearby, etc. The user can further manually adjust the generated boundary in both directions (e.g., bringing it closer or further from the user).

  • Publication number: 20250099709
    Abstract: A pressure regulating or pressure relief device comprises an inlet and an outlet chamber with an outlet. The inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet chamber. A valve seat is located between the inlet and the outlet. A valve member is biased to seal against the valve seat, and displaces from the valve seat by an inlet pressure at the inlet increasing above a pressure threshold to allow a flow of gases from the inlet to the outlet via the outlet chamber. The flow of gases through the outlet causes an outlet pressure in the outlet chamber to act on the valve member together with the inlet pressure to displace the valve member from the valve seat.

  • Publication number: 20250104366
    Abstract: Instead of having a constant boundary, artificial reality (XR) applications that can run in boundaryless mode (e.g., in augmented or mixed reality) can be given controls by selective boundary system on an XR system to customize partial boundaries. For example, an application can specify to select particular boundaries when certain object types are in the real-world environment. In another example, an application can transition to different boundary modes when certain application events occur (e.g., when transitioning from virtual reality to mixed reality). On the backend, the selective boundary system can provide the application with an API that exposes boundary information. Based on this information, the application can use the API to create new boundaries or turn on or off certain boundaries based on requests by the application.
