Publication number: 20230222757Abstract: Media processing systems and techniques are described. A media processing system receives image data that represents an environment captured by an image sensor. The media processing system receives an indication of an object in the environment that is represented in the image data. The media processing system divides the image data into regions, including a first region and a second region. The object is represented in one of the plurality of regions. The media processing system modifies the image data to obscure the first region without obscuring the second region based on the object being represented in the one of the plurality of regions. The media processing system outputs the image data after modifying the image data. In some examples, the object is depicted in the first region and not the second region. In some examples, the object is depicted in the second region and not the first region.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Scott BEITH, Gokce DANE, Simon Peter William BOOTH, Rohit BANDI

Publication number: 20230154125Abstract: Systems, apparatuses (or devices), methods, and computer-readable media are provided for generating virtual content. For example, a device (e.g., an extended reality device) can obtain an image of a scene of a real-world environment, wherein the real-world environment is viewable through a display of the extended reality device as virtual content is displayed by the display. The device can detect at least a part of a physical hand of a user in the image. The device can generate a virtual keyboard based on detecting at least the part of the physical hand. The device can determine a position for the virtual keyboard on the display of the extended reality device relative to at least the part of the physical hand. The device can display the virtual keyboard at the position on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Scott BEITH, Jonathan KIES, Robert TARTZ, Ananthapadmanabhan Arasanipalai KANDHADAI
