Abstract: A system and method for providing a litigation funding platform and exchange can include a user device that generates a litigation event, an initial litigation product offering (ILO) computer system, and a digital exchange system. The ILO system can receive the litigation event, generate (i) a litigation product contract, (ii) a master product key pair for the litigation event that includes a public and private key, and (iii) a freeze rule. The ILO system can also provide an initial offering of such tokens, receive requests to purchase the tokens, generate a plurality of the tokens, and generate a token ledger. The digital exchange system can match digital trades of the litigation product tokens using the token ledger. The digital exchange system can permit or block the trade based at least in part on whether a freeze event has been validated and invoked for the particular litigation product token.

Abstract: Visual effects such as bleach bypass, sepia tone conversion, cross processing, custom effects, and many others may be applied to video streams before they are displayed to viewers. In some examples, different visual effects may be applied to the same underlying video content, such as on a viewer-by-viewer basis or at other levels of granularity, thereby allowing certain particular visual effects to be targeted to particular viewers/devices. The visual effects may be applied by one or more of a content provider, a video streaming service, one or more viewers, or by other entities. The visual effects may be applied based at least in part on instructions from the provider, such as one or more tags, for example that may be issued via an interface provided by a video streaming service.

Abstract: A group of available virtual objects may each have a respective rule set that indicates how a corresponding available virtual object may be used to augment a physical environment. In some examples, the rule sets may be determined based at least in part on sample images that show approved settings or locations for the available virtual objects. To augment a physical space, one or more characteristics of the physical space may be determined, such as contexts, surface characteristics, and others. The rule sets for the available virtual objects may then be compared to the characteristics of the physical space to determine approved virtual objects that are approved for use to augment the physical space. A selected virtual object may then be selected from the approved virtual objects and inserted into a view of the physical space to create an augmented view of the physical space.
