  • Patent number: 11972200
    Abstract: An electronic document associated with users of a collaborative document platform is identified. The electronic document is associated with an approval data structure including entries that correspond to approval requests. A portion of an approval data structure is included within the content of the electronic document for presentation to a first user. A first user updates a first entry of the portion of the approval data structure included within the content of the electronic is detected. The update to the first entry corresponds to a first approval request for a second user to approve a portion of the electronic document. A first notification is transmitted to a second client device associated with the second user. The first notification indicates the first approval request. The approval data structure is updated to include data of the first entry.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240029761
    Abstract: A 3D camera tracking and live compositing system includes software and hardware integration and allows users to create, in conjunction with existing programs, live composite video. A video camera, a tracking sensor, encoder, a composite monitor, and a software engine and plugin receive video and data from and integrate it with existing programs to generate real time composite video. The composite feed can be viewed and manipulated by users while filming. Features include 3D masking, depth layering, teleporting, axis locking, motion scaling, and freeze tracking. A storyboarding archive can be used to quickly load scenes with the location, lighting setups, lens profiles and other settings associated with a saved a photo. The video camera's movements can be recorded with video to be later applied to other 3D digital assets in post-production. The system also allows users to load scenes based on a 3D data set created with LIDAR.
