Abstract: Techniques to selectively capture media using a single user interface element are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a touch controller, a visual media capture component, and a storage component. The touch controller may be operative to receive a haptic engagement signal. The visual media capture component may be operative to be configured in a capture mode based on whether a haptic disengagement signal is received by the touch controller before expiration of a first timer, the capture mode one of a photo capture mode or video capture mode, the first timer started in response to receiving the haptic engagement signal, the first timer configured to expire after a first preset duration. The storage component may be operative to store visual media captured by the visual media capture component in the configured capture mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Access to a set of media content items is acquirable. Identified processors can perform, in parallel, object detection for the set. In some cases, information about a current system state, a user, and/or object popularity metrics is acquirable for selecting a subset of object models. Object recognition is performable, based on the subset, for the set of media content items. In some instances, a camera view can be provided. Object recognition is performable for representations of the view. An object depicted in the representations is identifiable. An interface portion is presentable to provide a label for the object. In some cases, object recognition is performable for the set of media content items to identify an object depicted in a content item. A label is associable with the content item. A search through the set of media content items can identify, based on the label, a subset that depicts the object.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire a first selection to identify a subset of media content items out of a set of media content items. A second selection to identify a mood out of a set of moods can be acquired. A soundtrack can be identified based on at least one of first selection or the second selection. The soundtrack can be associated with data utilized to determine when each media content item in the subset is to be presented during a playback of the soundtrack. A set of declarative instructions utilized to determine how each media content item in the subset is to be presented during the playback of the soundtrack can be provided. The subset can be dynamically presented based on the set of declarative instructions. The subset can be presented during the playback of the soundtrack and can be presented to represent video content.

Abstract: A method includes detecting content items stored locally on a client device, each content item including a time stamp and geospatial metadata; identifying one or more sets of content items based on their time stamps being within a first predetermined time range; determining, for each set of content items, a geographic location associated with the content items of the set based on the geospatial metadata of each content item; generating a list of all geographic locations associated with the sets of content items; selecting subsets of content items based on determining that the time stamps associated with each content item of the subset are within a second predetermined time range; determining, from the selected subsets of content items, non-overlapping subsets of content items based on a parent geographic location associated with the selected subset; and sending instructions to categorize content items into the non-overlapping subsets of content items.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a set of images locally stored on a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a first user. One or more facial recognition processes can be applied to the set of images. It can be determined, based on the one or more facial recognition processes, that a subset of images, out of the set of images, is associated with a second user. One or more options for the first user to share the subset of images with the second user can be provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to initiate at least one of a pixelation animation or a depixelation animation for a media content item. A set of pixelated images can be generated based on a source image associated with the media content item. Variable durations for presenting the set of pixelated images can be determined. The set of pixelated images can be presented, based on the variable durations, to produce the at least one of the pixelation animation or the depixelation animation.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can cause a first computing system to receive an obscured version of a first media content item from a second computing system. Access to the obscured version of the first media content item can be provided by the first computing system. Access to an unobscured version of the first media content item can be prevented by the first computing system. An unobscured version of a second media content item can be acquired by the first computing system using at least one sensor. The first computing system can transmit to the second computing system at least one of the unobscured version of the second media content item or an obscured version of the second media content item generated based on the unobscured version. Access to the unobscured version of the first media content item can be provided by the first computing system.
