CPC Code(s): A63F13/52
Abstract: aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a player-tracking video game editor used to modify a three-dimensional virtual game space corresponding to a song. in some implementations, the editor can be used to control lighting effects for multiple lights in the virtual game space, without having to change each light individually. in some implementations, the editor can be used to add arcs (i.e., lines between two blocks intended to emphasize long sounds) and/or chains (i.e., multiple digital targets between two blocks causing multiple haptics effects) in the virtual game space corresponding to the song. in some implementations, the editor can provide a beats-per-minute (bpm) tool that can visualize an audio signal of a song for easy identification of beats. in some implementations, the editor can provide a real-time preview of modifications to the virtual game space, without requiring execution of the video game outside of the editor.

CPC Code(s): G02B27/0172
Abstract: a varifocal liquid lens includes a body filled with two different fluids separated by an interface of a variable curvature across a clear aperture of the varifocal liquid lens. at least one of the first or second fluids is birefringent, such that a refractive index difference between the first and second fluids and resulting optical power of the varifocal liquid lens is dependent on polarization of impinging light. at a first light polarization, the first and second fluids may be matched in refractive index, while at a second, orthogonal light polarization, the first and second fluids may be mismatched in refractive index, whereby the first interface between the first and second fluids may have a variable, non-zero optical power for the second polarization while having a substantially non-variable, zero optical power for the first polarization of light.

CPC Code(s): G06T17/00
Abstract: information relating to gaze direction is used, e.g., with other information, to perform tone mapping, brightness adaptation, and/or sparkle generation/management for virtual or augmented reality displays. for example, speed of light adaptation may be increased as a user's gaze moves from a darker scene to a brighter scene and decreased in opposite direction to match human perception dynamics in real world. sparkles from smaller objects may be adjusted depending on an object size, a brightness of the object's background, and/or the object's location relative to the user's gaze—that is, whether the object in the user's focus or in a periphery. specularity of the objects may be obtained from a specularity map (e.g., metadata associated with each object) or from image processing a scene. local sparkles may be shimmered as the user's head rotates deterministically or randomly to provide a sense of real-life glistening.

CPC Code(s): G06T19/006
Abstract: a room manager can generate mappings for a real-world room that support a shared xr environment. for example, the real-world room can include real-world objects and surfaces, such as a table(s), chair(s), wall(s), door(s), window(s), etc. the room manager can generate xr object definitions based on information received about the real-world room, object(s), and surface(s). for example, the room manager can implement a flow that guides a user equipped with an xr system to provide information for the xr object definitions, such as real-world surfaces that map to the xr object(s), borders (e.g., measured using a component of the xr system), such as borders on real-world surfaces, semantic information (e.g., number of seat assignments at an xr table, size of xr objects, etc.), and other suitable information. implementations generate previews of the shared xr environment, such as a local preview and a remote preview.

CPC Code(s): G06V20/647
Abstract: methods and systems described herein are directed to creating an artificial reality environment having elements automatically created from source images. in response to a creation system receiving the source images, the system can employ a multi-layered comparative analysis to obtain virtual object representations of objects depicted in the source images. a first set of the virtual objects can be selected from a library by matching identifiers for the depicted objects with tags on virtual objects in the library. a second set of virtual objects can be objects for which no candidate first virtual objects was adequately matched in the library, prompting the creation of a virtual object by generating depth data and skinning a resulting 3d mesh based on the source images. having determined the virtual objects, the system can compile them into the artificial reality environment according to relative locations determined from the source images.

CPC Code(s): H04W24/10
Abstract: a first device may include one or more processors configured to define, specify, and/or signal new parameters relating to an earliest comeback time, a requested bandwidth, a minimum bandwidth, and/or an interval between sensing measurements the one or more processors may be configured to receive, through a transceiver from a second device in a wireless local area network (wlan), a request frame indicating a request for a sensing measurement setup. responsive to the request frame, the one or more processors may be configured to generate a response frame indicating that the request is rejected, the response frame including a first field indicating a minimum time for which the second device waits until sending a next request frame for a sensing measurement setup. the one or more processors may be configured to wirelessly transmit, through the transceiver to the second device in the wlan, the response frame.

CPC Code(s): H04W52/0229
Abstract: disclosed herein are related to a wireless communication. in one aspect, a wireless communication device receives a frame including a first indication that indicates the wireless communication device to disable transmission during a quiet period. the quiet period may overlap with a restricted service period of a restricted target wake time (twt) schedule of the wireless communication device. in one aspect, the wireless communication device may determine to ignore the first indication for the quiet period based on a defined rule or a separate indication indicating the wireless communication device to ignore the first indication.
