  • Patent number: 11436808
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting augmenting reality (AR) objects based on contextual cues associated with an image captured by a camera associated with electronic device. Contextual cues are obtained at an electronic device and AR objects are identified from a memory associated with the electronic device. The electronic device implements a processor employing image segmentation techniques to combine the identified AR objects with the captured image and render the combined image for display at a display associated with the electronic device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10386938
    Abstract: In at least one aspect, a method can include determining a location of a head mounted display (HMD) of a user, defining a location of a joint based on the location of the HMD, defining a segment from the joint to an end of the segment, defining an initial virtual location of a virtual controller within a virtual reality (VR) environment based on a location of the end of the segment, and defining a virtual location and a virtual orientation of the virtual controller within the VR environment, based on the segment and the joint, in response to an orientation movement of a physical controller.

  • Patent number: 9542767
    Abstract: Computer-generated images are generated by evaluating point positions of points on animated objects in animation data. The point positions of the points are used by an animation system to determine how to blend animated sequences or frames of animated sequences in order to create realistic moving animated characters and animated objects. The methods of blending are based on determining distances or deviations between corresponding points and using blending functions with varying blending windows and blending functions that can vary from point to point on the animated objects.
