Publication number: 20210375067Abstract: A computing system and method to generate an avatar wearing a piece of clothing. Given a generic clothing model acquired for the avatar, the system generates a customized clothing model based on uniformly scaling the generic clothing model according to a size of the avatar, identifies one or more edges or boundaries of the clothing, deforms a clothing mesh of the scaled clothing model at the one or more edges by stretching and/or shrinking the edges, and performs a physical simulation of fitting the deformed clothing model on the avatar to generate a fitted clothing model for the avatar. User interfaces can be optionally provided to interactively adjust the scaling, deforming, and/or physical simulation of the clothing models.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Jeremiah Arthur Grant, Avery Lauren Orman, David Parks, Richard Benjamin Trent Nelson

Patent number: 11145138Abstract: A computing system and method to generate an avatar wearing multiple layers of clothing. For each clothing model acquired for the avatar, the system generates a customized clothing model based on transforming the original clothing model for fitting on the avatar based on deforming and physical simulation and a reduced clothing model based on collapsing the customized clothing model on the body of the avatar such that applying the reduced clothing model is simplified as painting the texture of the reduced clothing model onto the avatar model. Wearing the inner layers of the clothing by avatar is computed by applying the texture of the corresponding reduced clothing model on the body of the avatar in a sequence from inside layers to outside layers. The customized clothing model of the outermost layer is combined with the avatar wearing the inner layers to generate the avatar wearing the multiple layers of clothing.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Linden Research, Inc.Inventors: Jeremiah Arthur Grant, Avery Lauren Orman, David Parks, Richard Benjamin Trent Nelson

Publication number: 20210000243Abstract: Disclosed is a personal care product platform that implements a personal care product assessment process. The process is configured to analyze data regarding several factors that impact characteristics of an individual, such as the individual's hair. Based on that analysis, a selection of personal care products is provided to the individual that may be combined in defined ways to achieve the desired results for that individual's particular characteristics, desires, and preferences. The analysis determines both what personal care products to combine to satisfy the individual's current needs, as well as predicts what changes, if any, should be made to the personal care products to continue to satisfy the individual's needs as those needs change over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: Gemma Labs Inc.Inventors: Allison Oaks Harr, Adam Dean Loving, Cynthia L.

Publication number: 20200410111Abstract: A computing system and method to implement a three-dimensional virtual reality world having user created virtual objects. During the creation of a virtual object, a user of the virtual reality world identifies components and/or resources of the virtual object, such as a mesh model defining the shape of the virtual object, an image specifying the appearance of the virtual object, and a script defining the run time behavior of the virtual object. The computer system examines the components and/or resources duration the creation process of the virtual object to detect and/or address security threats and/or performance hurdles. Before the approval of the publication of the virtual object in the virtual world, the computer system performs a simulation of the rendering of the virtual object to detect security threats and evaluate performance impacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Matthew A.
