Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving a set of media content items including a geohash defining a captured time and a captured location of the media content item, identifying a first subset of media content items from the set of media content items comprising a geohash that equals a precision level threshold, and identifying a second subset of media content items from the set of media content items that include a geohash that exceeds the precision level threshold. The system also includes generating a timeline media content item collection including the second subset of media content items each including a geohash that exceeds the precisions level threshold, and causing display of a media content collection interface, the media content collection interface including the timeline media content item collection.

Abstract: A machine learning system can generate an image mask (e.g., a pixel mask) comprising pixel assignments for pixels. The pixels can he assigned to classes, including, for example, face, clothes, body skin, or hair. The machine learning system can be implemented. using a convolutional neural network that is configured to execute efficiently on computing devices having limited resources, such as mobile phones. The pixel mask can be used to more accurately display video effects interacting with a user or subject depicted in the image.

Abstract: A messaging system for exchanging data over a network, configuring an intermediate connection tier system that provides a multi-tier connections messaging framework. The intermediate connection tier system generates, based on the contact data of a user, an intermediate tier of connected user accounts. Each account in the intermediate tier of connected user accounts is provided with messaging privileges with respect to the account of the user, without being associated with expanded access connection tier links, sometimes referred to as friendship links, between their respective accounts with respect to the account of the user.

Abstract: A method for detecting changes in a scene includes accessing a first set of images and corresponding pose data in a first coordinate system associated with a first user session of an augmented reality (AR) device and accessing a second set of images and corresponding pose data in a second coordinate system associated with a second user session. The method identifies the first set of images corresponding to a second image from the second set of images based on the pose data of the first set of images being determined spatially closest to the pose data of the second image after aligning the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system. A trained neural network generates a synthesized image from the first set of images. Features of the second image are subtracted from features of the synthesized image. Area of changes are identified based on the subtracted features.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an alert on an eyewear device are provided. The systems and methods include receiving, by an eyewear device, from a mobile device, data indicative of a first combination of notification attributes that trigger a first alert on the eyewear device; determining that the mobile device has received a new notification based on additional data received from the mobile device; determining that a combination of attributes of the new notification matches the first combination of notification attributes; and in response to determining that the combination of the attributes of the new notification matches the first combination of notification attributes, retrieving, from a storage device of the eyewear device, a first visual indicator animation that represents the first alert; and activating a visual indicator of the eyewear device in accordance with the retrieved first visual indicator animation to generate the first alert on the eyewear device.

Abstract: A system includes a spatial light modulator comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate. The spatial light modulator is characterized by a first retardation and a first phase retardation and has a first slow axis for light propagation. A voltage source is configured to apply a drive voltage to the spatial light modulator and the first retardation of the spatial light modulator is a function of the drive voltage. A retarder is positioned external to the spatial light modulator and is characterized by a second retardation and a second phase retardation. The retarder includes a second slow axis for light propagation. The second retardation has a value such that all illumination wavelengths in a set of illumination wavelengths are above or below a phase retardation value of 0.25. The set of illumination wavelengths includes at least one illumination wavelength in each of at least three different color spectrums.

Abstract: A light projector (2; 102) for an augmented reality headset is disclosed. The light projector includes an image generator (4; 104) configured to provide an image with unpolarised light and a beam splitter (6; 106) configured to receive unpolarised light from the image generator and to split it into a first path and a second path. A first optical arrangement is configured to receive light from the beam splitter in the first path so that light is reflected, focused and directed back towards the beam splitter. A second optical arrangement configured to receive light from the beam splitter in the second path so that light is reflected, focused and directed back towards the beam splitter, wherein the first and second optical arrangements comprise first and second mirrors (12, 22; 112, 122) respectively. The beam splitter is configured to receive and combine light from the first and second optical arrangements so that the combined light, which unpolarised, is provided to an exit pupil, and the first and second optical arrangements are angled relative to one another so that the image from the first path is aligned with the image from the second path.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for including a video feed in a message thread. The program and method provide for determining that a message thread is being concurrently displayed on a first device associated with a first user and on a second device associated with a second user, the first user and the second user corresponding to contacts within a messaging application; and transmitting, in response to the determining, image data captured on the first device to the second device, for display within the message thread on the second device.
