Abstract: An extended Reality (XR) system provides methodologies for scaling a virtual object in an XR user interface of the XR system. The methodologies include providing to a user an XR user interface of an XR system, where the XR user interface includes a virtual object displayed to the user. The XR system determines a pinch location of a pinch hand pose being made by the user and scales the virtual object based on the pinch location and a virtual object center point of the virtual object. The XR system redisplays the scaled virtual object to the user in the XR user interface.

Abstract: In a thin film stack deposited on a substrate, a first layer can have a non-uniform thickness. A second layer, disposed so that the first layer is between the substrate and the second layer, can have a non-uniform thickness. A first pattern can be formed on the second layer to define first areas. The second layer can be etched in the first areas to form first holes having varying depths. A second pattern can be formed on the first layer in the first holes to define second areas. Each second area can be smaller than a corresponding first area. The first layer can be etched in the second areas to form second holes having varying depths. An imprint of the etched thin film stack can be formed such that the first holes and the second holes form a plurality of diffractive elements having varying sizes on the imprint.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for displaying widgets. In some aspects, criteria for ranking widgets may be dynamically evaluated based on conditions associated with each widget. In some aspects, the conditions may consider a time or location of an event a social network user is scheduled to attend, and a relation to that time and location to a current time and/or current user location. Evaluation of the conditions may contribute to the determination of weights for each of the respective widgets, with the ranking based on the weights. Widgets with the highest rank may be invoked, and selectively displayed on an electronic display. Multiple possible parameter values for the displayed widgets may also be dynamically ranked and selected values applied when invoking the widget.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining disparity between two images are disclosed. Such systems and methods include obtaining a first pixel image of a scene from a first viewpoint, obtaining a second pixel image of the scene from a second viewpoint (e.g., separate from the first viewpoint in a camera baseline direction such as horizontal or vertical), modifying the first and second pixel images using component-separated correction to create respective first and second corrected pixel images maintaining pixel scene correspondence in the camera baseline direction from between the first and second pixel images to between the first and second corrected pixel images, determining pixel pairs from corresponding pixels between the first and second corrected pixel images in the camera baseline direction, and determining disparity correspondence for each of the determined pixel pairs from pixel locations in the first and second pixel images corresponding to respective pixel locations of the pixel pairs in the first and second corrected pixel images.

Abstract: Various circuit board systems and methods of use and manufacture thereof are disclosed. A circuit board system can have a first circuit board including a substrate and a first component susceptible to electromagnetic interference carried by the substrate. The system can also include a second circuit board including a second substrate, and a shield engaged to the substrate of the first component, the shield at least partially covering the first component and being configured to protect the first component from electromagnetic interference, wherein the shield couples the substrate of the first circuit board to the substrate of the second circuit board.

Abstract: Input indicative of a selection of volumetric content for presentation is received. The volumetric content comprises a volumetric representation of one or more elements of a real-world three-dimensional space. In response to the input, device state data associated with the volumetric content is accessed. The device state data describes a state of one or more network-connected devices associated with the real-world three-dimensional space. The volumetric content is presented. The presentation of the volumetric content includes presentation of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on the real-world three-dimensional space by a display device and configuring the one or more network-connected devices using the device state data.

Abstract: Eyewear including a projector having a variable feedback loop controlling a forward current delivered to a colored light source. The colored light source is configured to generate a colored light beam to generate a displayed image. The variable feedback loop in one example has a variable resistance to selectively generate a high brightness image when the eyewear is operated outside, or in a high ambient light setting, and to selectively generate a nominal brightness image when the eyewear is operated inside. A controller selectively controls the drive current delivered to the colored light source to control the brightness mode of the image.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, methods, devices, and instructions for performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) that involve initializing a SLAM process using images from as few as two different poses of a camera within a physical environment. Some embodiments may achieve this by disregarding errors in matching corresponding features depicted in image frames captured by an image sensor of a mobile computing device, and by updating the SLAM process in a way that causes the minimization process to converge to global minima rather than fall into a local minimum.

Abstract: A location-based shared augmented reality (AR) experience system is configured to permit users that find themselves in the same geographic area to easily join in a shared AR experience by creating respective instances of the shared AR experience for different previously defined geographic areas. When a user indicates a request to launch a shared AR experience accessible via a messaging client, the location-based shared AR experience system obtains or receives from the user device executing the messaging client location information of the user device, determines a previously-defined AR experience area that encompasses the location of the user device, and communicates to the user device an address of an associated instance of the shared AR experience.
