Abstract: Technologies related to generating mixed reality video are described herein. Video frames capture a human, and positions of skeletal features of the human are estimated based solely upon the video frames. A mixed reality video is generated, wherein the mixed reality video includes the video combined with an animation, wherein the animation is based upon movement of the human in the video as represented by the estimated positions of the skeletal features of the human.

Abstract: Technologies are described in conjunction with automatic grouping based handling of similar photos. According to some examples, similar photos may be grouped as a group of people or person's image taken within a short time frame. Grouping of the photos may be based on a difference metric comparing facial features, background composition, and color composition. Among the group of photos, a representative image may be selected based on a quality threshold and displayed representing the entire group. Visual aids such as icons, text, and other elements may be used to indicate information associated with the grouped photos. Context based menus may be presented to allow users to select and handle the entire group or photos within the group seamlessly as the user handles other images within a photo viewing/handling user interface.
