    Abstract: An eyewear device including a sensor used to measure deformation of an eyewear frame to estimate an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of an eyewear user. The sensor is used to determine head breadth (HB) of the user and to estimate the IPD of the user. A processor displays an image on a display of the eyewear as a function of the estimated IPD to improve virtual object rendering for an improved augmented reality (AR) viewing experience while reducing vergence accommodation mismatch (VAM). User profile data, such as age and gender, can be used to generate a more accurate estimated IPD of the user.

    Abstract: Content controller system comprising rendering server system comprising a plurality of servers. The servers receiving a plurality of segment render requests that correspond respectively to segments included in a set of media content item segments. The servers render the segments corresponding to the segment render requests using a media content identification and a main user identification. Rendering the segments comprises retrieving metadata from a metadata database associated with the media content identification, rendering the segments using the metadata, generating a main user avatar based on the main user identification, and incorporating the main user avatar into the segments. The servers can upload the segments to a segment database and update segment states in a segment state database to indicate that the segments are available. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing different camera modes. The program and method provide for displaying, by a messaging application, a capture user interface for capturing video according to a first camera mode for capturing a single video clip to generate a media content item; providing, by the messaging application, a camera mode selection element within the capture user interface, the camera mode selection element being selectable to switch from the first camera mode to a second camera mode for capturing multiple video clips for combining to generate the media content item; receiving, via the capture user interface, user input selecting the camera mode selection element; and updating, by the messaging application and in response to receiving the user input, the capture user interface for video capture according to the second camera mode.

    Abstract: Camera pipeline exposure timestamp error determination methods and systems that detect latency in rolling shutter camera systems. The exposure timestamp error determination system includes a rolling shutter image sensor configured to capture an image and a processor. The processor determines timestamp error by capturing the image using the rolling shutter image sensor where the image includes a bar code encoded with a barcode timestamp. The processor then obtains a system exposure timestamp corresponding to capture of the image by the rolling shutter image sensor and the barcode timestamp by decoding the bar code. Pipeline exposure timestamp error is then determined for the rolling shutter camera system by comparing the obtained barcode timestamp to the system exposure timestamp.
