    Abstract: A method for adjusting an over-rendered area of a display in an AR device is described. The method includes identifying an angular velocity of a display device, a most recent pose of the display device, previous warp poses, and previous over-rendered areas, and adjusting a size of a dynamic over-rendered area based on a combination of the angular velocity, the most recent pose, the previous warp poses, and the previous over-rendered areas.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe a system for context triggered augmented reality. The proposed systems and methods receive first user input indicative of a selection of a user interface element corresponding to a recipient user, generate an augmented reality content item based on second user input from the first computing device, generate a contextual trigger for the generated augmented reality content item, the contextual trigger defining a set of conditions for presenting the generated augmented reality content item on a second computing device, generate a multi-media message comprising audio data recorded at the first computing device, detect at least one condition of the set of conditions being satisfied, and in response to detecting at least one of the set of conditions being satisfied, causing presentation of the augmented reality content item and the multi-media message at the second computing device.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing bot participants for virtual conferencing. The program and method provide, in association with designing a virtual space, a first interface for configuring plural participant video elements, each being assignable to a respective participant; receive, via the first interface, an indication of user input for setting first properties for the plural participant video elements; provide a second interface for configuring a bot participant for simulating an actual participant in association with a participant video element of the plural participant video elements; receive, via the second interface, an indication of second user input for setting second properties for the bot participant; and provide, in association with designing the virtual space, display of the virtual space based on the first and second properties, the bot participant being assigned to the participant video element.

    Abstract: A see-through display including a polarized reflective pinhole mirror display. The pinhole mirror display includes a plurality of tiny switchable polarized mirrors. The respective polarized mirrors individually reflect impinging light from an illuminator, and guide the respective portion of light into a pupil of an eye. A reflective optically powered surface reflects light from the illuminator. Each mirror has a first polarization and reflects a portion of light and produces a picture element (pixel) that forms a virtual image seen by the eye of the user. A user may view the reflected virtual image having the first polarization from the illuminator, as well as the image from the real world via a rear substrate that has a second polarization. Although the mirrors are very small, human eyes can still detect the mirrors if they are not polarized. The mirrors and other components are polarized so that the eye can see the real world filtered with the second polarization, but not the mirrors having a different first polarization.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, media, and other embodiments are described for managing and configuring a pseudorandom animation system and associated computer animation models. One embodiment involves generating image modification data with a computer animation model configured to modify frames of a video image to insert and animate the computer animation model within the frames of the video image, where the computer animation model of the image modification data comprises one or more control points. Motion patterns and speed harmonics are automatically associated with the control points, and motion states are generated based on the associated motions and harmonics. A probability value is then assigned to each motion state. The motion state probabilities can then be used when generating a pseudorandom animation.
