  • Patent number: 11543947
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing a multi-device mixed interactivity system are provided. The interactivity system includes paired mixed-input devices for interacting and controlling virtual objects. In operation, a selection profile associated with a virtual object is accessed. The selection profile is generated based on a selection input determined using real input associated with a selection device and virtual input associated with a mixed-reality device. The selection device has a first display and the mixed-reality device has a second display that both display the virtual object. An annotation input for the virtual object based on a selected portion corresponding to the selection profile is received. An annotation profile based on the annotation input is generated. The annotation profile includes annotation profile attributes for annotating a portion of the virtual object. An annotation of the selected portion of the virtual reality object is caused to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20150234571
    Abstract: A sequence of low-level user input events that takes place during a demonstration is converted into a sequence of high-level events which is used to identify portions of a screencast video of the demonstration as event portions. A presenter rehearses, edits, and re-performs the demonstration during a live presentation by playing back an augmented version of the video that is generated on-the-fly and during at least one point in time includes visualizations of the current and next high-level events that are automatically overlaid on top of the video at the screen locations where these events takes place. A graphical user interface that includes a video sector and a timeline sector is displayed to the presenter. The augmented version of the video is played back within the video sector. An event timeline that includes an overall timeline showing each of the portions of the video is displayed within the timeline sector.

  • Patent number: 8890890
    Abstract: The pluggable web-based visualization technique described herein pertains to a method for providing pluggable web-based visualizations for applications. The method selects visualizations from the web to be embedded into a host application on a desktop computing device. The visualizations can be plugged in to a variety of host applications. This empowers end-users, application designers, and visualization designers by allowing greater reuse of existing code. Additionally, end-users do not have to wait for new revisions of existing applications to use the latest techniques. Designers of domain specific visualizations can work on just the visualization and have them incorporated into a variety of different host applications. Users can perform local processing and visualizations on their own machine, yet obtain new visualizations from the web where they can be updated more frequently and where special purpose visualizations are available.
