Abstract: A system and associated methods select splats at different fidelities to optimize a requested field-of-view of a three-dimensional (3D) model for presentation on a local device or for streaming to a remote device. The system determines priority values that are associated with parts of the 3D model within the field-of-view, selects first splats that represent a first part of the 3D model at a first fidelity in response to a first priority value being associated with the first part, selects second splats that represent a second part of the 3D model at a second fidelity in response to a second priority value being associated with the second part, and presents or streams the first splats and the second splats in response to the request in order to generate the field-of-view with different fidelities for the first part and the second part of the 3D model.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) streaming system provides client-controlled adaptive streaming of 3D content in which the client may receive the 3D primitives of 3D content at different fidelities that the client selects. The system includes generating a 3D model at different fidelities, partitioning the 3D model into different volumetric spatial units, generating a manifest with an index for each volumetric spatial unit and an identifier for each fidelity, and presenting the 3D primitives in a first set of volumetric spatial units at a first fidelity and the 3D primitives in a second set of volumetric spatial units at a second fidelity in response to a request that includes indices of the first set of volumetric spatial units with a first identifier for the first fidelity and indices of the second set of volumetric spatial units with a second identifier for the second fidelity.

Abstract: An optimization system reduces the data encoded within a point cloud for streaming and/or rendering of a lossy representation of the point cloud. The optimization system generates a first optimized splat for a first visual characteristic of the point cloud by replacing a first set of points having a first common value for the first visual characteristic with a first replacement primitive, and generates a second optimized splat for a second visual characteristic of the point cloud by replacing a second set of points having a second common value for the second visual characteristic with a second replacement primitive. The optimization system provides the first optimized splat and the second optimized splat instead of the original points of the point cloud in response to a request to access the point cloud.

Abstract: Systems and associated methods are provided for distributed three-dimensional (3D) content generation whereby different 3D assets for a 3D scene are generated by different asset generators at different network tiers according to the latency sensitivity of each 3D asset. The system retrieves a 3D asset for the requested 3D scene, and differentiates a first 3D asset that is latency sensitive from a second 3D asset that is latency tolerant. The system generates the first 3D asset with a first asset generator at a first network tier, and generates the second 3D asset with a second asset generator at a more distant second network tier. The system distributes the generated primitives for the first 3D asset to the user device with a first amount of latency and the generated primitives for the second 3D asset to the user device with a second amount of latency.

Abstract: Multi-angle fiducial markers with different sets of encoded cells are used for the generation of customized enhanced reality experiences on user devices. A device detects a multi-angle fiducial marker from its current position. The device decodes first data from a particular set of cells of the multi-angle fiducial marker that are resolvable from the current position of the device relative to the multi-angle fiducial marker position and one or more cells from the other sets of cells being unresolvable at the device current position. The device retrieves a first presentation of content from a source identified in the first data, defines a second presentation for the content based on the first data, and generates an enhanced reality experience with the second presentation of the content presented at a specific position relative to the position of the multi-angle fiducial maker in a display of the device.
