Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include accessing a media item that includes multiple media item segments that are to be played back in a specific manner. The method may also include generating playgraphs for the media item, where the playgraphs define different playback paths between media item segments. The method may next include selecting a specific playgraph from the generated playgraphs, and then providing the selected playgraph to a playback device. Playback of the media item according to the selected playgraph may thereby provide a customized presentation of the media item. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a quality inference application estimates perceived video quality for reconstructed video. The quality inference application computes a set of feature values corresponding to a set of visual quality metrics based on a reconstructed frame, a source frame, a display resolution, and a normalized viewing distance. The quality inference application executes a trained perceptual quality model on the set of feature values to generate a perceptual quality score that indicates a perceived visual quality level for the reconstructed frame. The quality inference application performs one or more operations associated with an encoding process based on the perceptual quality score.

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 may include (1) accessing a video portraying an object within a set of frames, (2) defining a subset of key frames within the video based on movement of the object across the set of frames, (3) generating, for each key frame within the subset of key frames, a spline outlining the object within the key frame, (4) receiving input to adjust, for a selected key frame within the subset of key frames, a corresponding spline, and (5) interpolating the adjusted spline with a spline in a sequentially proximate key frame to define the object in frames between the selected key frame and the sequentially proximate key frame. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a live event caching application caches segments that are associated with live events. At a first point-in-time, the live event caching application stores a segment of a downloadable that is associated with a live event in a high priority list. At a second point-in-time, the live event caching application determines that the segment is at a tail of the high priority list, where the second point-in-time is subsequent to the first point-in-time. Upon determining that the segment is at the tail of the high priority list, further determining that an age of the segment is greater than a cutoff threshold. In response to determining that the age of the segment is greater than the cutoff threshold, moving the segment from the high priority list to a low priority list.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems can dynamically modify hit zones associated with displayed video game control elements on a display screen device during video game play. For example, the disclosed methods and systems can detect a trigger event associated with the video game that necessitates modifying one or more hit zones on the display screen device while leaving the video game control elements associated with those hit zones unchanged. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems can increase the speed and accuracy with which video games are played over the Internet. For example, the disclosed methods and systems can capture atomic input state information from a video game controller reflecting any buttons, joysticks, or other control elements that are currently selected. The disclosed methods and system can transmit an input state a first time, and then retransmit the input state in groups of future input states. As such, the methods and systems can keep the video game in a consistent input state, even if one or more input state transmissions are dropped. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
