Patent number: 11847729Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for remote production collaboration tools. The remote production collaboration tools can include one or more client devices, a server providing a single connection point, and an animation server configured to produce an animated production. The one or more client devices may provide motion capture data, audio data, control data, and/or associated timestamps. The animation server is configured to process the motion capture data, audio data, control data, and/or the associated timestamps and create the animated production. The animated production may be transmitted as a video stream.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Evil Eye Pictures LLCInventors: Alastair Macleod, Andrew Michael Angulo, Matthew Keith McDonald, Patrick Thomas Osborne, Arnold Joseph Riebli, III, James Paul Ritts, Daniel P Rosen, Justin Schubert, Yovel Schwartz, Brian William Smith

Patent number: 9214005Abstract: Disclosed are “graphics overrides.” An override accepts a stream of graphics commands as produced by an application and then modifies the stream before it is rendered by the GPU. Different overrides perform different modifications. One override can modify a stream of graphics commands in response to another stream. Overrides can enforce conformity with a visual paradigm and, by being modified, can support a change to that paradigm without requiring the applications to change. Overrides can monitor the entire computing environment and improve the response to that environment of a particular application: For example, an override monitors frames as they are produced by an application. If the application cannot keep up with a fixed frame rate, then the override produces “synthetic” frames to take the place of missing frames. Overrides are not restricted to fixing existing problems. Rather, applications can be developed that depend upon the presence of overrides.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Baback Elmieh, Maha Deva Guruji Panda, James Paul Ritts, David Lock

Patent number: 9007391Abstract: A method for providing a LUT for changing color components of pixels of an image includes generating N two-dimensional slices from a three-dimensional LUT. The N two-dimensional slices are arranged in order from a first two-dimensional slice to an Nth two-dimensional slice. The method includes generating N upsampled slices corresponding to the N two-dimensional slices. The N upsampled slices are arranged in order from a first upsampled slice to an Nth upsampled slice. The method includes forming a first group of slices comprising the N upsampled slices, and forming a second group of slices comprising a second two-dimensional slice of the N two-dimensional slices through the Nth two-dimensional slice and a copy of the Nth two-dimensional slice. The method includes storing the first group of slices and the second group of slices, respectively, in a zero level of a mip map and a first level of the mip map.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventor: James Paul Ritts
