Publication number: 20240095877Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to providing spatiotemporal guidance within a 360-degree video. Particularly, while a 360-degree video is being displayed to a user, a current location of the view of the user within the 360-degree video is determined. Additionally, regions of interest may be identified within the 360-degree video, along with their location and a time in which the regions of interest are active within the 360-degree video. A visual guide is then overlaid onto the 360-degree video that indicates a current location of the view of the user, as well as locations of one or more regions of interest, as well as the time during which each region of interest is active (able to be viewed) within the 360-degree video. By viewing the visual guide, the user may be able to anticipate a location and timing of regions of interest within the 360-degree video and adjust their gaze to the correct location at the correct time to view such regions of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Sean LIU, Rorik HENRIKSON, Mark PARENT, Michael GLUECK, Tovi GROSSMAN

Publication number: 20240077986Abstract: An Adaptive Tangible User Interface (ATUI) for use in an extended reality environment in which tangible interfaces are composed in real time based on identified affordances of existing objects in the physical environment and the input tasks of a user. An extended reality system can be provided with instructions executable by one or more processors to perform processing including: generating a representation of the real-world environment within a field of view of the user; identifying physical objects within the real-world environment; generating a set of possible performable gestures afforded by available object affordance factors; determining potential input tasks; composing performable gestures for the potential input tasks; and selecting a physical object for use as an adaptive tangible user interface. Techniques for designing a virtual user interface, overlaying the virtual user interface on a selected ATUI physical object, and maintaining alignment of the virtual user interface, are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Stephanie Santosa, Frances Cin-Yee Lai, Michael Glueck, Daniel Clarke, Tovi Grossman, Weilun Gong

Patent number: 11669220Abstract: In various embodiments, a ranking application automatically ranks designs included in a design space based on user preference(s). The ranking application determines that a first design included in the design space is a first positive example of user preference(s). The ranking application then computes a score associated with a second design that is also included in the design space based on a first attribute value and a second attribute value. The first attribute value is associated with both the first design and an attribute and the second value is associated with both the second design and the attribute. Subsequently, the ranking application orders the designs based on the first score and a second score associated with the second design to generate a ranked list of designs. The ranking application then displays the ranked list of designs via a graphical user interface to facilitate exploration of the design space.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Michael Glueck, Justin Frank Matejka

Patent number: 11663235Abstract: In various embodiments, a visualization engine generates graphs that facilitate sense making operations on data sets. A graph includes nodes that are associated with a data set and edges that represent relationships between the nodes. In operation, the visualization engine computes pairwise similarities between the nodes. Subsequently, the visualization engine computes a layout for the graph based on the pairwise similarities and user-specified constraints. Finally, the visualization engine renders a graph for display based on the layout, the nodes, and the edges. Advantageously, by interactively specifying constraints and then inspecting the topology of the automatically generated graph, the user may efficiently explore salient aspects of the data set.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Jian Zhao, Michael Glueck, Azam Khan, Simon Breslav

Patent number: 11593533Abstract: A design application is configured to visualize and explore large-scale generative design datasets. The design explorer includes a graphical user interface (GUI) engine that generates a design explorer, a composite explorer, and a tradeoff explorer. The design explorer displays a visualization of a multitude of design options included in a design space. The design explorer allows a user to filter the design space based on input parameters that influence a generative design process as well as various design characteristics associated with the different design options. The composite explorer displays a fully interactive composite of multiple different design options. The composite explorer exposes various tools that allow the user to filter the design space via interactions with the composite. The tradeoff explorer displays a tradeoff space based on different rankings of design options. The different rankings potentially correspond to competing design characteristics specified by different designers.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Tovi Grossman, Erin Bradner, George Fitzmaurice, Ali Baradaran Hashemi, Michael Glueck, Justin Frank Matejka

Patent number: 10739973Abstract: In one embodiment, a banded slider application obtains values from users via a banded slider. In operation, the banded slider application generates a banded slider that includes multiple sections. Notably, the interior of a section included in the banded slider is visually distinguishable from an interior of another section that is adjacent to the section. Subsequently, the banded slider application performs operation(s) to display the banded slider and, in response, receives a user selection of a location along the banded slider. The banded slider application then computes a specified value based on the location. Advantageously, empirical evidence shows that the banded slider enables precise and/or repeatable specification of values without inducing bias associated with an inherent propensity for users to select locations that are at or near the decorations (e.g., tick marks) along conventional sliders.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Autodesk, Inc.Inventors: Justin Frank Matejka, Michael Glueck, Tovi Grossman, George Fitzmaurice

Patent number: 9996244Abstract: One embodiment of the invention sets forth a data navigation engine that generates user interface navigation elements for navigation large and expanding datasets. The user interface navigation elements may include a pivot control zoom slider for adjusting the data resolution with respect to different zoom pivot locations, an interactive ruler for consistent visual feedback and navigation of intervals of data within the dataset, a context bar for viewing the data proximate to a current view, and a multi-scale slider for repositioning the dataset within the current view. These user interface navigation elements provide the end-user with consistent control and visual feedback while navigating the dataset, independent of the size of the dataset or the portion of the dataset displayed within the current view. Therefore, large and expanding datasets can be navigated more effectively relative to prior art approaches.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Michael Glueck, Azam Khan, Michael Lee
