Patent number: 12659419Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for generating AR self-portraits or “AR selfies.” In an embodiment, a method comprises: capturing, by a first camera of a mobile device, live image data, the live image data including an image of a subject in a physical, real-world environment; receiving, by a depth sensor of the mobile device, depth data indicating a distance of the subject from the camera in the physical, real-world environment; receiving, by one or more motion sensors of the mobile device, motion data indicating at least an orientation of the first camera in the physical, real-world environment; generating a virtual camera transform based on the motion data, the camera transform for determining an orientation of a virtual camera in a virtual environment; and generating a composite image data, using the image data, a matte and virtual background content selected based on the virtual camera orientation.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: June 16, 2026Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Xiaohuan Corina Wang, Zehang Sun, Joe Weil, Omid Khalili, Stuart Mark Pomerantz, Marc Robins, Toshihiro Horie, Eric Beale, Nathalie Castel, Jean-Michel Berthoud, Brian Walsh, Kevin O'Neil, Andy Harding, Greg Dudey

Publication number: 20260037109Abstract: In one implementation, a method of generating a node graph is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, a node graph including a plurality of nodes associated with a respective plurality of mathematical operations. The method includes selecting a subset of the plurality of nodes defining a mathematical function. The method includes, in response to detecting a trigger, replacing the subset of the plurality of nodes with a function node associated with the mathematical function.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2025Publication date: February 5, 2026Inventors: Kenneth J. Hill, James G. McCarter, Stuart Mark Pomerantz
