  • Patent number: 11295503
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating interactive avatars that can be pinned as world-locked artificial reality content. Once pinned, an avatar can interact with the environment according to contextual queues and rules, without active control by the avatar owner. An interactive avatar system can configure the avatar with action rules, visual elements, and settings based on user selections. Once an avatar is configured and pinned to a location by an avatar owner, when other XR devices are at that location, a central system can provide the avatar (with its configurations) to the other XR device. This allows a user of that other XR device to discover and interact with the avatar according to the configurations established by the avatar owner.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for constructing a digital rock, and relates to the technical field of digital rocks. According to the method, a three-dimensional (3D) digital rock image that can reflect real rock information is obtained using an image scanning technology, and the image is preprocessed to obtain a digital rock training image for training a generative adversarial network (GAN). The trained GAN is stored to obtain a digital rock construction model. The stored digital rock construction model can be directly used to quickly construct a target digital rock image. This not only greatly reduces computational costs, but also reduces costs and time consumption for obtaining high-resolution sample images. In addition, the constructed target digital rock image can also reflect real rock information.
