Abstract: A head-mounted device includes one or more displays configured to present media content. The media content may be presented in a user interface window. The head-mounted device may include a display controller configured to adjust a frame rate of the one or more displays and may include a frame rate management circuit configured to determine whether to adjust the frame rate of the one or more displays based on the type of the media content being presented in the user interface window and based on additional information such as a preferred frame rate associated with the media content, a size of the user interface window relative to the total display area of the one or more displays, point of gaze data, hand gestures data, head pose data, data associated with other body parts, audio information and other data.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for displaying representations of media (an image, video).

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide video content (e.g., a TV show, a recorded sporting event, a movie, a 3D video, etc.) within a 3D environment using parameters selected based on one or more contextual factors. Such contextual factors may be determined based on an attribute of the content (e.g., its intended purpose or viewing environment), the user (e.g., the user's visual quality, interpupillary distance, etc.), the 3D environment (e.g., current lighting conditions, spatial considerations, etc.), or other context attributes.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coding and delivering multi-view video in which the video is represented as a manifest file identifying a plurality of segments of the video available for download. The multi-view video may be partitioned spatially into a plurality of tiles that, in aggregate, encompass the entire spatial area of the video. The tiles are coded as segments contains coded video representing content contained within its respective tile. Tiles may be given different sizes based on saliency of the content within their respective regions. In this manner, tiles with high levels of interest may have relatively large spatial areas, which can lead to efficient coding in the presence of content motion.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method that receives a selection of an animation to apply to two or more graphical objects in a scene over a particular time duration. The method identifies parameters for each of the graphical objects. Based on the selected animation, the method generates modifications to at least one parameter for each of the graphical objects over the particular time duration. The parameter of a first graphical object is modified differently than the parameter of a second graphical object. The method stores the modifications as data for the scene.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for creating and using media asset proxies. The media asset proxies represent a digital media asset and are created by filtering and modifying elements from the digital media asset. The media asset proxies can be queried in the same manner as their corresponding digital media asset.

Abstract: An authoring system for building an application that has a set of graphical objects and is for performing several operations on several graphical objects in response to several user interaction events. The authoring system includes (1) a first set of tools for defining a first description of a first operation that is to be performed on a first graphical object and (2) a second set of tools for defining a second description of a second operation that is to be performed on a second graphical object. The second set of tools provides at least one different tool for defining the second description than the first set of tools provides for defining the first description. The authoring system also includes a conformance module for modifying at least one of the received descriptions to ensure that the descriptions of both the first and second operations are in a uniform description format.

Abstract: A media bundle and one or more media bundle overlays allow modifying content that is to be played by a playback framework of an electronic device with multimedia content objects contained in the media bundle overlays without modifying the media bundle. A runtime data structure dynamically incorporates the multimedia content contained in the media bundle with multimedia content contained in the media bundle overlays. Manifest objects in the media bundle and some media bundle overlays describe multimedia content contained in the media bundle and the corresponding media bundle overlays. Multimedia content contained in the multimedia bundle overlays may supplement or replace multimedia content contained in the media bundle.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a variable persister that allows an application running on a device to efficiently make a set of variables persistent across termination and relaunch of the application. According to some embodiments of the invention, an application executing on the device can utilize this archiving service by simply having its persisted variables declared in the application's code as variables that are to be persisted. Based on such declarations, the variable persisting service of the device stores the values of the set of persisted variables in a non-volatile storage archive (e.g., disk, flash storage, etc.) when the application terminates, and retrieves these values from the archive when the application restarts such that the values of the persisted variables are restored to a state before the application was last terminated.

Abstract: This is directed to differentiating between portions of a selection area that are within the boundary of displayed information and portions of the selection area that are beyond the boundary of the displayed information. In some embodiments, the graphical representation of the selection area can change based on the position of the selection area relative to the boundary of the displayed information. In particular, the representation of portions or regions of the selection area that are within the boundary of the displayed information can be different than the representation of the portions or regions of the selection area that extend beyond the boundary of the displayed information. For example, the electronic device can provide different fills in each of the regions, or different line patterns around the peripheries of each of the selection area regions.
