Patent number: 10008021Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for rendering imagery that compensates for parallax. Image data may comprise a sequence of images of a location, collected at known intervals (e.g., distances), such as along a path. The image data can comprise a first layer comprising a first depth, and a second layer comprising a second depth, that is different from the first depth. The image data can be composed into resulting imagery, where the first layer is composed at the first depth and the second layer is composed at the second depth. The resulting imagery can be rendered to compensate for, or rather make use of, parallax, such that the first layer is rendered at a first movement speed, based at least upon the first depth, and the second layer is rendered at a second movement speed, based at least upon the second depth.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy Wantland, Gonzalo Alberto Ramos, Donald Barnett

Publication number: 20160307299Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for positioning point-of-interest (POI) data in a planar panorama image, generated from a plurality of relatively sequential images. First POI data with a first geo-location and second POI data with a second geo-location can be received for the planar panorama image, and first and second data tags can be created that respectively comprise at least some of the first and second POI data. A cluster geo-location may be identified for the first and second data tags based at least upon the first and second geo-locations, and the first and second data tags can be clustered at the cluster geo-location in the planar panorama image. The first and second data tags can be re-clustered (e.g., moved around) and displayed at different locations within the planar panorama image in response to a zoom operation, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Samuel Williams, Timothy Wantland, Gonzalo Ramos, Peter G.

Publication number: 20140317523Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for transitioning between user experience modes. That is, a device may comprise a computing environment (e.g., an operating system, a social network application, a user interface, a communication application, etc.). A first user experience mode may be applied to the computing environment based upon interaction by a first user (e.g., text may be displayed in English, a first email account of the first user may be provided, a high contrast display mode may be applied, etc.). Responsive to detecting transfer of the device to a second user (e.g., the first user may rotate the device towards the second user), the computing environment may be transitioned to a second user experience mode (e.g., text may be displayed in French, an email application may be logged out of the first email account and into a second email account of the second user, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2013Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Timothy Wantland, Ryan Fedyk, Pasquale DeMaio
