  • Patent number: 11978152
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for computer-assisted graphical development. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes providing a GUI that includes at least one manipulable graphical object having one or more edges or vertices and a virtual pivot point, providing a dragger handle at a first position in the GUI, the dragger handle operable via user input to alter one or more of: a size, location, scale, or characteristic of the at least one manipulable graphical object based on the virtual pivot point, wherein the dragger handle is at least initially displayed on at least one of the one or more edges or vertices, receiving a request to summon the dragger handle, and, in response to the request, moving positioning the dragger handle to a different position in the GUI separate from the at least one manipulable graphical object.

  • Publication number: 20230290031
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for rendering an avatar in a mixed reality environment are disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured to automatically scale an avatar or to render an avatar based on a determined intention of a user, an interesting impulse, environmental stimuli, or user saccade points. The disclosed systems and methods may apply discomfort curves when rendering an avatar. The disclosed systems and methods may provide a more realistic interaction between a human user and an avatar.

  • Patent number: 9143677
    Abstract: An image capturing device includes an image sensing device, a processor, and a memory. Using this, the device can determine a plurality of image-based characteristics for a proposed image, compute a composition measure for the proposed image and the given settings that depends from at least two of the plurality of image-based characteristics of the proposed image, output an indication of the composition measure to a user, in the form of simple indicators, more complex indicators/displays, and or provide suggestions for altering at least one characteristic of the proposed image or data about the context of a shot, receive an image capture signal from the user in response to the indication, receive a captured image from the image sensing device in response to the image capture signal, and store the captured image in memory. The feedback can also be provided at a later time.
