Abstract: A system surrounds an area with a first set of display panels. A second set of display panels is positioned above the area, and a third set of display panels is positioned below the area. A subject is positioned within the area and may be on an omnidirectional treadmill within the area. A controller communicates content to the first set of display panels, the second set of display panels, and the third set of display panels that presents a multidimensional scene when displayed. A set of sensors capture sensor data of the subject within the area while content is displayed. One or more of the sensors may be coupled to a repositioning system that repositions sensors so the subject remains in a field of view of different sensors. From sensor data of the subject, a representation of the subject may be generated for insertion into other video content.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes systems for optimizing color rendition in an LED volume virtual production stage. For example, the described systems optimize or correct color rendition by applying a series of color correction matrices to color pixel values within the virtual production stage and to final captured imagery filmed within the virtual production stage. The described systems generate the color correction matrices from four calibration images taken within the virtual production stage. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: FIG. 1 is a front view of a first image in a sequence for a display screen with an animated graphical user interface showing the claimed design.
FIG. 2 is a front view of a second image thereof;
FIG. 3 is a front view of a third image thereof; and,
FIG. 4 is a front view of a fourth image thereof.
The appearance of the animated graphical user interface sequentially transitions between the images shown in FIGS. 1-4. The process or period in which an image transitions to another forms no part of the claimed design. The broken lines shown throughout the figures depict features excluded from the claim. The broken lines showing a display screen and elements of the graphical user interface illustrate portions of the article and form no part of the claimed design.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include accessing updated data structures that are to be included in a user interface functionality test, where the updated data structures contribute to a user interface. The method may also include accessing live or snapshotted data captured from services running in a production environment, initiating generation of a first user interface instance using the updated data structures and using the accessed live or snapshotted data, and initiating generation of a second user interface instance using a different version of the data structures and using the same accessed live or snapshotted data. The method further includes comparing the first user interface instance to the second user interface instance to identify differences and then determine which outcome-defining effects the updated data structures had on the user interface based on the identified differences between the user interfaces. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for optimizing data in a dataset. The technique includes determining, based on one or more attributes of a dataset, an optimization that is associated with at least one of a file encoding, a file size, and a sort column. The technique also includes identifying a plurality of candidate configurations associated with the dataset and corresponding to the optimization, and for each candidate configuration, generating a corresponding set of evaluation metrics associated with the first optimization. The technique further includes determining, based on the sets of evaluation metrics corresponding to the plurality of candidate configurations, a set of configurations in the plurality of candidate configurations to be applied to the dataset. Finally, the technique includes modifying the dataset based on the set of configurations.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include accessing a pre-rendered multimedia item. The pre-rendered multimedia item may have branching logic associated with it, where the branching logic includes branching points that direct non-sequential playback of the pre-rendered multimedia item. The method may also include initializing playback of the pre-rendered multimedia item and accessing, at the branching points, various trigger conditions that direct playback order of different segments of the pre-rendered multimedia item. The method may then include updating, based on the trigger conditions, at least some portion of custom state data. The method may further include playing back the segments of the pre-rendered multimedia item according to the updated state data. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a perceptual quality application determines an absolute quality score for encoded video content viewed on a target viewing device. In operation, the perceptual quality application determines a baseline absolute quality score for the encoded video content viewed on a baseline viewing device. Subsequently, the perceptual quality application determines that a target value for a type of the target viewing device does not match a base value for the type of the baseline viewing device. The perceptual quality application computes an absolute quality score for the encoded video content viewed on the target viewing device based on the baseline absolute quality score and the target value. Because the absolute quality score is independent of the viewing device, the absolute quality score accurately reflects the perceived quality of a wide range of encoded video content when decoded and viewed on a viewing device.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes applying transport protocol heuristics to selective acknowledgement (SACK) messages received at a network adapter from a network node. The transport protocol heuristics identify threshold values for operational functions that are performed when processing the SACK messages. The method further includes determining, by applying the transport protocol heuristics to the SACK messages received from the network node, that the threshold values for the transport protocol heuristics have been reached. In response to determining that the threshold values have been reached, the method includes identifying the network node as a security threat and taking remedial actions to mitigate the security threat. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a function build application compiles source code to generate an executable version of a function that has a first function signature. The function build application then replaces a first data type of a first parameter included in the first function signature with a second data type to generate a second function signature for a client stub function. Subsequently, the function build application generates a remote procedure call (RPC) client that includes the client stub function. Notably, the RPC client causes the function to execute when the client stub function is invoked. Advantageously, unlike conventional techniques that require manual generation of strongly typed functions, the function build application automatically customizes the RPC client for the function.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes determining that incoming media item requests are to be skewed from a random distribution among server nodes, using a random distribution algorithm, to a directed distribution among the server nodes. The method then includes identifying, in a loading assignment, which media items are to be loaded onto specific server nodes to produce the directed distribution of media item requests. The method next includes preloading the identified media items onto the server nodes according to the loading assignment and receiving media item requests for the preloaded media items. The method then includes routing the received media item requests to the server nodes using the random distribution algorithm, where the random distribution algorithm is skewed to the directed distribution based on the preloading of the media items according to the identified loading assignment. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
