Abstract:
A system for cooperative game control. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a cloud game engine for executing game code configured to create a game, generate a video stream corresponding to a particular player and accept a response stream from the particular player to allow the particular player to play the game and (2) a cooperative play engine associated with the cloud game engine for communication therewith and configured to multicast the video stream from the cloud game engine to the particular player and at least one other player, combine separate response streams from the particular player and the at least one other player into a joint response stream and provide the joint response stream to the cloud game engine.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a virtual view broadcaster, a virtual view broadcasting system, and a video gaming broadcaster. In one embodiment, the virtual view broadcaster includes: (1) a cloud-based renderer configured to generate virtual view images from a virtual camera positioned in a computer application, and (2) an image processor configured to generate a virtual view stream for the virtual camera employing the virtual view rendered images, wherein the virtual view images are from different viewing directions at the virtual camera.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method of executing applications in a cloud server system is presented. The method comprises receiving a file identifier from a client device. The method also comprises receiving a file associated with the file identifier from a first server. Further, the method comprises accessing an application associated with the file from memory of the cloud server. Also, the method comprises executing by the cloud server the application using the file received from the first server. Finally, the method comprises streaming results from the executing the application as a video stream destined for the client device.
Abstract:
Operating touch screen enabled electronic devices is described. A contact of a capacitive stylus with a capacitive touch screen display panel is detected. A stylus tip characteristic is determined in relation to a contact surface of the touch screen display panel and the capacitive stylus based on the detection of the contact therewith and a size of the contact surface. An input by a user is communicated to the application based on the determined stylus tip characteristic or a capacitive signature of the stylus.
Abstract:
User inputs are received from end user devices. The user inputs are associated with applications executing in parallel on a computer system. Responsive to the user inputs, data is generated using a graphics processing unit (GPU) configured as multiple virtual GPUs that are concurrently utilized by the applications. The data is then directed to the proper end user devices for display.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention may include, in response to instructions from a software application, generating a plurality of video frames that are operable to represent a three dimensional virtual space. In addition, a supplemental image may be included in at least one of the plurality of video frames instead of an original image instructed to be included in the plurality of video frames by the software application. Further, the plurality of video frames may be displayed, wherein the supplemental image is rendered visible.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention may include generating a plurality of video frames that are operable to represent a world space, wherein the world space includes an advertisement. In addition, a visibility characteristic of the advertisement in the plurality of video frames may be determined. Further, the visibility characteristic may be communicated to an advertisement engine.
Abstract:
In various examples, at least partial control of a vehicle may be transferred to a control system remote from the vehicle. Sensor data may be received from a sensor(s) of the vehicle and the sensor data may be encoded to generate encoded sensor data. The encoded sensor data may be transmitted to the control system for display on a virtual reality headset of the control system. Control data may be received by the vehicle and from the control system that may be representative of a control input(s) from the control system, and actuation by an actuation component(s) of the vehicle may be caused based on the control input.
