Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for sharing a single optical sensor between multiple image processors. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, at a control arbiter, a first desired configuration of a first one or more desired configurations for capturing an image frame by the optical sensor, the first one or more desired configurations communicated from a primary image processor. The method may also include receiving, at the control arbiter, a second desired configuration of a second one or more desired configurations for capturing the image frame by the optical sensor, the second one or more desired configurations communicated from a secondary image processor. The method may also include determining, by the control arbiter, an actual configuration for capturing the image frame by the optical sensor, the actual configuration based on the first desired configuration and the second desired configuration.

Abstract: An exemplary method for intelligent compression uses a foveated-compression approach. First, the location of a fixation point within an image frame is determined. Next, the image frame is sectored into two or more sectors such that one of the two or more sectors is designated as a fixation sector and the remaining sectors are designated as foveation sectors. A sector may be defined by one or more tiles within the image frame. The fixation sector includes the particular tile that contains the fixation point and is compressed according to a lossless compression algorithm. The foveation sectors are compressed according to lossy compression algorithms. As the locations of foveation sectors increase in angular distance from the location of the fixation sector, a compression factor may be increased.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for localizing and mapping smart devices. An example method can include receiving, by an extended reality (XR) device, an identification output from a connected device that is coupled directly or indirectly to the XR device, the identification output including an audio pattern, a display pattern, and/or a light pattern; detecting the identification output from the connected device; and based on the identification output from the connected device, mapping the connected device in a coordinate system of the XR device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for token device transfer management. A system identifies, in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger, a token corresponding to media content. A parameter of the token in the distributed ledger indicates that the token is associated with a first user. The system identifies a device that is associated with the token and the media content. The device is also associated with the first user. The system identifies that the device has been relocated to an area associated with a second user. In response to identifying that the device has been relocated to the area, the system causes the parameter of the token in the distributed ledger to be modified from indicating that the token is associated with the first user to indicating that the token is associated with the second user.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to provide haptic feedback in electronic devices based on contextual awareness. According to some aspects, a method of controlling haptic feedback includes obtaining environmental information indicative of an environment of a computing device from at least one sensor and determining a context associated with the mobile device based on the environmental information. The method may include determining haptic feedback for output by the mobile device based on the context.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods, devices, and apparatuses for display processing. The apparatus may obtain a first intensity map associated with first luminance information for a scene. The apparatus may also configure a second intensity map based on the first intensity map and at least one coordinate frame from a perspective of a user of a device for display content associated with the scene. The apparatus may also determine whether luminance information for at least one region in the second intensity map is within a suitable luminance range for the display content associated with the scene. The apparatus may also process a set of pixels corresponding to a section in a display associated with the at least one region based on the luminance information being at least one of: within the suitable luminance range, outside of the suitable luminance range, or within an indistinguishable luminance range.

Abstract: An apparatus of operating a neural network is configured to compress one or more of activations or weights in one or more layer of the neural network. The activations and/or weights may be compressed based on a compression ratio or a system event. The system event may be a bandwidth condition, a power condition, a debug condition, a thermal condition or the like. The apparatus may operate the neural network to compute an inference based on the compressed activations or the compressed weights.
