  • Patent number: 11164381
    Abstract: An improved system to provide a clothing model in augmented reality and/or virtual reality is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system provides a fully simulated garment, on the user's device, in an augmented reality or virtual reality display. In one embodiment, the process uses a parameterized smart garment model which enables real-time interaction with the garment on a device such as a mobile phone or tablet, with limited memory and processing power. In one embodiment, the system permits nearly instantaneous alteration of garment sizes. Because the garment is modeled to accurately reflect physical details, the lay of the garment changes as the size of the garment or body changes.

  • Patent number: 10246838
    Abstract: A joint and crack filler composition may include a rubber aggregate and a binder made of a resin and a hardener. The rubber aggregate may be made from recycled tire rubber and may include a tri-blend of large shreds, small shreds, and fine pieces. The resin may be an epoxy, such as a semi-rigid liquid epoxy or a semi-rigid thixotropic epoxy.

  • Patent number: 8731876
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a method and apparatus for creating editable feature curves for a multi-dimensional model represented by a tessellated mesh are described. A mesh representation of a multi-dimensional model may not support intuitive modification of the model. The mesh representing the multi-dimensional model may be analyzed to extract feature curves that define the characteristics of the multi-dimensional model. Such feature curves may provide an intuitive mechanism for modifying the multi-dimensional model. The model may be modified by changing the constraints of the feature curves defining the model's characteristics. For example, a constraint may be modified to change the angle of the surface on either side of a location on a feature curve. A compressed representation of a multi-dimensional model may include the feature curves that define the shape of multi-dimensional model and a set of boundary curves that represent disjoint regions of the multi-dimensional model.

  • Patent number: 8711143
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an interactive system and methods for generating an image-based 3D model of an object from multiple images captured from different viewpoints of the object are described. A user may identify feature curves for the object by outlining the feature curves on a display of the images. The user may outline a feature curve in multiple images which depict the feature curve from different viewpoints. 3D shape constraints for the model may be generated dependent on the identified feature curves and camera parameters for the images. The user may also outline multiple single-view feature curves, such as silhouette curves, in single images. A 3D surface approximation for the model may be generated from the single-view feature curves. The 3D shape constraints and the 3D surface approximation may be used to generate a polygonal mesh which represents the surface of the 3D model of the object.

  • Patent number: 8379018
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for the interactive enhancement of 2D art with 3D geometry. A surface inflation tool may be used to create a 3D shape by inflating the surface that interpolates the input boundaries. The surface inflation tool may, for example, obtain a closed 2D boundary as input, triangulate the area within the boundary to generate an initial surface, and inflate the surface while maintaining a fixed boundary. Using surface normal values and/or mean curvature values specified at boundary vertices as constraints, the tool may control the inflated surface efficiently using a single linear system. Embodiments handle both smooth and sharp position constraints. Position constraint vertices may also have constraints specified for controlling the inflation of a local surface.
