  • Publication number: 20230237625
    Abstract: Provided are a video processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium and a program product. The method includes steps described below. A to-be-processed video is acquired, and a first face key point of a first target object in the to-be-processed video is recognized, where the first face key point corresponds to a mask key point in a three-dimensional human face mask special effect; and the three-dimensional human face mask special effect is added to video frames of the to-be-processed video to obtain a target video, where the mask key point in the three-dimensional human face mask special effect moves with the corresponding first face key point.

  • Patent number: 11508152
    Abstract: Empowered by augmented reality (AR) technologies, the present disclosure allows a user to display virtual content in a physical reality and turn an AR-ready handheld mobile device into a dimension measuring tool. The present disclosure allows the user to first display a virtual container asset, with its actual size in physical reality, in any given configuration, and then create a virtual dimensional equivalent of an item-to-be-fit based on dimensional data captured by a 6-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) device or the like. Finally, the user can place the virtual item into the virtual container to evaluate the capacity and fit in the given configuration.

  • Patent number: 11423619
    Abstract: Systems and methods for virtual showroom are described. The virtual showroom may allow a consumer to virtually visit a showroom and receive detailed vehicle information in a variety of manners. A consumer may use augmented reality to highlight a vehicle and receive information regarding it. A consumer may walk through a guided showroom tour or walk through an interactive showroom tour. Another user may be conferenced into the tour as well.

  • Patent number: 11373374
    Abstract: A method and system for selecting an instantiation point for a virtual asset relative to a physical space, the method including and system operable for: prompting a user to place a device at a desired position/alignment in the physical space; capturing the position/alignment with respect to a real world frame of reference; translating the position/alignment with respect to the real world frame of reference to a frame of reference in virtual space; and spawning the virtual asset in the virtual space at/with the translated position/alignment. The device includes one of a smartphone with a camera and a 6 degree-of-freedom controller.

  • Patent number: 11145102
    Abstract: A method of and system for recreating a real world pose or aligning a real world object in a virtual space, the method including: prompting a user to successively place a device at a plurality of positions/alignments associated with a plurality of physical points associated with a body of the user, a body of another, or an object; capturing the plurality of positions/alignments with respect to a real world frame of reference; translating the plurality of positions/alignments with respect to the real world frame of reference to a frame of reference in virtual space; and recreating a pose of the body of the user, a pose of the body of the other, or an alignment of the object in the virtual space using the translated plurality of positions/alignments.
