Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating an image information. According to the method, a light field information of an environment (13) is captured (31) and a gaze information (20) indicating a position on a display unit (17) a user (19) is gazing at is detected (32). Based on the light field information and the gaze information and image information is generated (33).

Abstract: Methods and devices (20) are provided which provide, for example capture with a camera (22, 23), at least one intermediate image of a scene. Colors of the at least one intermediate image are modified based on depth information (210, 28), and a final image is provided based on the at least one intermediate image with modified colors.

Abstract: A dynamic content modification system dynamically modifies content playback based on a user reaction so as to provide an individualized entertainment experience. The system includes a sensor module configured to receive a plurality of sensor measurements of at least one user, and a user model database including a plurality of user models associated with content preferences. A controller is configured to receive the sensor measurements and apply the sensor measurements to at least one user model to determine a prediction of a user reaction to content. The controller further is configured to determine a content modification to a playback of to the content based on the prediction, and to a cause a content reproduction device to play back the content in a manner that incorporates the determined content modification.

Abstract: The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for transferring content between electronic devices via skin input. An exemplary method includes detecting, by an interface device, an input received on a user's skin, wherein the interface device is in electronic communication with at least one of the first device or the second device; in response to detecting the input, determining the type of input; and at least one of: in response to determining the type of input is a first type of input, initiating transmission of content from the first device to the second device; or in response to determining the type of input is a second type of input, initiating reception of content at the second device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for classifying an activity of an object, the method comprising: receiving a sound signal from a sensor, determining type of sound based on said sound signal, and determining said activity based on said type of sound.

Abstract: The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing focus control for an image-capturing device. An exemplary method includes capturing an image frame using an image-capturing device and recording video tracking data and gaze tracking data for one or more image frames following the captured image frame and/or for one or more images frames prior to the captured image frame. The exemplary method additionally includes calculating a focus distance and a depth of field based at least partially on the recorded video tracking data and recorded gaze tracking data. The exemplary method additionally includes displaying the captured image frame based on the calculated focus distance and the calculated depth of field.

Abstract: An electronic device includes an environmental sensor that is configured to obtain information associated with an environment surrounding the electronic device and a presence client module that is configured to generate a presence indicator associated with a user of the electronic device based on the information associated with the environment surrounding the electronic device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method generate a three-dimensional image by determining, using a light-field camera, a depth map corresponding to an environment. The depth map represents how light falls in the environment. The method also includes determining a parallax occlusion map of the environment and creating, using the depth map and the parallax occlusion map, a three-dimensional image representing the environment. In some embodiments, the method includes taking a first picture of the environment with a first flash intensity and a second picture of the environment with a greater second flash, determining differences between the first picture of the environment and the second picture of the environment, determining one or more properties of the environment based at least in part on the determined differences and dynamically re-lighting the three-dimensional image using the depth map, the parallax occlusion map, and one or more of the determined properties of the environment.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a sound recording arrangement comprising a sound recording arrangement and a method in the sound recording arrangement for amplifying sounds in a primary gaze direction of the user of the sound recording arrangement. The method comprises the actions of recording sounds arriving at a sound recording unit from objects in the field of view of the user, and recording a first set of images of the head and/or the eyes of the user, and determining a primary gaze direction of the user based on the first set of images, and amplifying sounds arriving in the primary gaze direction compared to sounds arriving from other directions.

Abstract: A device may obtain location information of an AR display device and obtain identifiers associated with objects that are within a field of view of the AR display device based on the location information. In addition, the device may obtain, for each of the objects, AR information based on the identifiers and determine, for each of the objects, a distance of the object from the AR display device. Furthermore, the device may generate, for each of the objects, images of the AR information at a virtual distance from the AR display device, the virtual distance corresponding to the determined distance. The device may display the generated images at the AR display device.

Abstract: A method including projecting a content associated with a user device; receiving a projected content including an invisible cursor content; determining a position of the invisible cursor content with respect to the projected content; outputting a visible cursor having a position in correspondence to the invisible cursor content; receiving an input from a pointer device; mapping a position of a visible cursor content to the content; and performing an input operation that interacts with the content and corresponds to the input from the pointer device and the position of the visible cursor content.

Abstract: A device may store a media file. A portion of the media file may be identified and played back in response to an event associated with the device. In one implementation, a portion of an existing audio file may be used as a ring tone in response to a received incoming telephone call.
