Abstract: Gaze tracking data representing a user's gaze is analyzed to determine one or more regions of interest. One or more gaze tracking parameters are determined from the gaze tracking data. Adjusted foveation data is determined representing an adjusted size and/or shape of one or more regions of interest in one or more images to be subsequently presented to the user based on the one or more gaze tracking parameters. The compression of the one or more transmitted images is adjusted so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions of interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest. Adjusting compression includes eliminating the region(s) of interest from images that are presented to the user during the saccade or blink.

Abstract: A system for generating three-dimensional models of a physical environment such as a room. In some cases, the system may utilize a two-dimensional floor, room, or house plan to generate, close and/or orthogonalize wall segments. The system may then generate a three-dimensional model by projecting the wall segments into a three-dimensional space and inserting objects.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating secret communication between players are described. One of the methods includes receiving image data of a first player to identify one or more gestures and receiving input data indicating a response of a second player to the one or more gestures. The method further includes training a model using the image data and the input data to generate an inference of communication between the first user and the second user. The method also includes generating additional inferences of communication between the first user and the second user. The method includes generating a recommendation to the second user based on the inference of communication and the additional inferences of communication.

Abstract: A system configured to determine poses of a pair hand-held controller in a physical environment and to utilize the poses as an input to control or manipulate a virtual environment or mixed reality environment. In some cases, the system may capture image data of the controllers having constellations or patterns. The system may analyze the image data to identify points associated with the constellations or patterns and to determine the poses and disambiguate the identity of the individual controllers based on the identified points and a stored model associated with each controller.

Abstract: Methods and systems for filtering content include identifying content for presenting in a rendering space defined by one or more mechanisms of a head mounted display (HMD), wherein the content is interactive, streaming content. A rating score for the content is identified. The content is dynamically adjusted to selectively filter a portion of the content based on a user profile of the user, rating score of the content, and ongoing interactions detected at the content. The adjusted content is formatted for rendering on the HMD. The formatted content is automatically transmitted to the HMD for rendering, in response to the request.
