  • Publication number: 20240107113
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230368435
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining computer-generated content associated with a first color characteristic. The computer-generated content is associated with a first region of a physical environment. The method includes detecting a second color characteristic associated with a second region of the physical environment different from the first region of the physical environment. The method includes, while the electronic device is in a first display rendering mode including the first and second color characteristics, determining that a display rendering mode change condition is satisfied, and accordingly changing the electronic device from the first display rendering mode to a second display rendering mode. Changing to the second display rendering mode includes changing the first region from the first color characteristic to a third color characteristic, or changing the second region from the second color characteristic to a fourth color characteristic different from the third color characteristic.

  • Patent number: 11386875
    Abstract: A device comprises memory, a display characterized by a characteristic, and processors coupled to the memory. The processors receive data indicative of a preferred adaptation technique and intended display parameter. The processors adapt the content item to a display color space and the intended display parameter based on the preferred adaptation technique. The processors modify the intended display parameter based at least in part on the display characteristic to obtain a modified display parameter and cause the adapted content item to be displayed on the display according to the modified display parameter. In some embodiments, the processors obtain data indicative of ambient light conditions and adjust the modified display parameter based on the data indicative of ambient light conditions. In some embodiments, the processors cause the adapted content item to be displayed according to the adjusted and modified display parameter.

  • Patent number: 10554925
    Abstract: RAW camera images may be processed by a computer system using either a particular application or a system level service. In either case, at least some parameters needed for the processing are preferably separated from the executable binary of the application or service, and are provided in separate, non-executable, data-only files. Each of these files can correspond to a particular camera or other imaging device. When a user of the system attempts to open a RAW image file from an unsupported device, the local system may contact a server for on-demand download and on-the-fly installation of the required support resource.

  • Patent number: 8919744
    Abstract: The aquaculture pond aeration system is essentially comprised of a ā€œuā€ shaped conduit that extends below the pond bottom. A sparger assembly is positioned below the pond bottom in the outlet side of the conduit. The sparger emits air into the outlet side of the conduit thereby aerating the water and causing a hydrostatic pressure imbalance between the inlet side and the outlet side of the conduit. The pressure imbalance causes the pond water to circulate through the conduit and thereby aerate the aquaculture pond.
