Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to devices, systems, and methods for separately processing an image stream to generate a first set of images for display by a set of displays and a second set of images for storage or transfer as part of a media capture event. Specifically, a first set of images from an image stream may be used to generate a first set of transformed images, and these transformed images may be displayed on a set of displays. A second set of images may be selected from the image stream in response to a capture request associated with a media capture event, and the second set of images may be used to generate a second set of transformed images. A set of output images may be generated from the second set of transformed images, and the set of output images may be stored or transmitted for later viewing.

Abstract: Various implementations provide a view of a 3D environment including a portal for viewing a stereo item (e.g., a photo or video) positioned a distance behind the portal. One or more visual effects are provided based on texture of one or more portions of the stereo item, e.g., texture at cutoff or visible edges of the stereo item. The effects change the appearance of the stereo item or the portal itself, e.g., improving visual comfort issues by minimizing window violations or otherwise enhancing the viewing experience. Various implementations provide a view of a 3D environment including an immersive view of a stereo item without using portal. Such a visual effect may be provided to partially obscure the surrounding 3D environment.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide 3D content that is presented over time (e.g. a video of 3D point-based frames), where the 3D content includes only content of interest, e.g., showing just one particular person, the floor near that person, and objects with which the person is near or interacting. The presented content may be stabilized within the viewers environment, for example, by removing content changes corresponding to movement of the capturing device.

Abstract: Systems for, and method of, determining propagation characteristics of a photonic structure having a transverse N-fold symmetry. In one embodiment, a system includes: (1) a numerical analyzer that employs a leading order of a systematic homogenization expansion having multiple scales to develop an angularly averaged indexed profile for the photonic structure and (2) a leading order corrector, associated with the numerical analyzer, that further employs the homogenization expansion to refine an imaginary part of an effective index of refraction of the photonic structure.
