  • Patent number: 11064202
    Abstract: Image information is often transmitted from one electronic device to another. Such information is typically encoded and/or compressed to reduce the bandwidth required for transmission and/or to decrease the time necessary for transmission. Embodiments are directed to tagging objects or primitives with attribute tags to facilitate the encoding process. Other embodiments are directed to codecs running on hardware and/or software.

  • Patent number: 11019263
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for capturing 360 degree video, and multi-resolution encoding, processing and displaying of the video based on a field of view (FOV) and region of interest (ROI) for a viewer. The ROI may be determined based on eye tracking information (ETI) and the video may be encoded for viewports within the FOV at a high resolution and for other viewports outside the FOV at a lower resolution. ROI in the video may be encoded at a high resolution and areas outside of the ROI may be encoded at a lower resolution. The ETI enables the selective display of one or more warnings based on the gaze of a user to improve the efficiency of the warning. 3D glasses having variable lens may be used to adjust the focal distance of a virtual display to match a virtual distance of an object based on stereo distance cues.

  • Patent number: 10908679
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology to improve user experience when viewing simulated 3D objects on a display. Head and upper-body movements may be tracked and recognized as gestures to alter the displayed viewing angle. The technology provides for a very natural way to look around, under, or over objects.

  • Publication number: 20210017283
    Abstract: The present application relates to antibodies specifically binding to the V-domain immunoglobulin-containing suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) at acidic pH and their use in cancer treatment. In some embodiments, the antibodies bind specifically to human VISTA at acidic pH, but do not significantly bind to human VISTA at neutral or physiological pH.

  • Publication number: 20210012722
    Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

  • Publication number: 20200402479
    Abstract: A display controller and method for performing the same operations are described. In on embodiment, the display controller comprises a spread spectrum clock (SSC) modulator having a first input coupled to receive a non-SSC modulated clock and operable to generate a SSC modulated clock in response to the non-SSC modulated clock, a video data transfer portion coupled to receive the SSC modulated clock and operable to output data for display in response to the SSC modulated clock, and a second portion coupled to receive the non-SSC modulated clock.

  • Publication number: 20200334880
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may a performance-enhanced computing system comprising a sensor for measuring luminance values corresponding to light focused onto the sensor at a plurality of pixel locations, a memory including a set of instructions, and a processor. The processor executes a set of instructions causing the system to generate a multi-segment tone mapping curve, generate a set of tone mapping values corresponding to the multi-segment tone mapping curve for equally spaced input values between zero and one for storage into a look up table, and process the luminance values using the look up table to apply the tone mapping curve to the luminance values of the pixels.
