  • Patent number: 11240481
    Abstract: A wallpaper system presents a first wallpaper image of a wallpaper video to a user and receives, via a user input device, one or both of: (i) a spatial user input selection, and (ii) a time user input selection from the user to apply to the wallpaper video. In response to detecting one or both of: (i) the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the time user input selection, the wallpaper system determines one or both of: (i) a respective spatial movement parameter within a wallpaper video associated with the spatial user input selection, and (ii) a respective time coordinate within the wallpaper video associated with the time user input selection. Wallpaper system presents, via the image display, a second wallpaper image associated with one or both of: (i) the respective spatial movement parameter, and (ii) the respective time coordinate.

  • Publication number: 20220030204
    Abstract: A photo filter (e.g., artistic) light field effect system comprises an eyewear device that includes a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, and a depth-capturing camera. Execution of programming by a processor configures the photo filter light field effect system to apply a photo filter selection to: (i) a left raw image or a left processed image to create a left photo filter image, and (ii) a right raw image or a right processed image to create a right photo filter image. The photo filter light field effect system generates, a photo filter light field effect image with an appearance of a spatial rotation or movement, by blending together the left photo filter image and the right photo filter image based on a left image disparity map and a right image disparity map.

  • Publication number: 20220012847
    Abstract: A virtual shockwave creation system comprises an eyewear device that includes a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, and a depth-capturing camera. Execution of programming by a processor configures the virtual shockwave creation system to generate, for each of multiple initial depth images, a respective shockwave image by applying a transformation function to the initial three-dimensional coordinates. The virtual shockwave creation system creates a warped shockwave video including a sequence of the generated warped shockwave images. The virtual shockwave creation system presents, via an image display, the warped shockwave video.

  • Publication number: 20210306608
    Abstract: A photo filter (e.g., multi-dimensional) light field effect system includes an eyewear device having a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, and a depth-capturing camera. Execution of programming by a processor configures the system to create an image in each of a least two dimensions and create a multi-dimensional light field effect image with an appearance of a spatial rotation or movement and transitional change, by blending together a left photo filter image and a right photo filter image in each dimension and blending the blended images from all dimensions.

  • Patent number: 10969862
    Abstract: An eye movement tracking device that can be mounted to standard eyeglasses as disclosed. The device comprises an illumination source, a time-of-flight (TOF) camera and a processor. The source transmits energy within a frequency band from a location proximate to an eye of a person, such that at least a first portion of the transmitted energy is reflected off a lens of eyewear worn by the person to subsequently reflect off the eye, and such that at least a second portion of the transmitted energy is transmitted through the lens to reflect off objects in the person's environment. The TOF camera detects reflections of at least the first portion of the transmitted energy, and distinguishes them from other energy detected by the TOF camera in said frequency band, based on TOF principles. The processor uses the detected reflections of the first portion of the transmitted energy to determine eye position.
