    Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for controlling one or more virtual elements on a display in response to hand gestures detected by an eyewear device that is capturing frames of video data with its camera system. An image processing system detects a hand and presents a menu icon on the display in accordance with a detected current hand location. The image processing system detects a series of hand shapes in the captured frames of video data and determines whether the detected hand shapes match any of a plurality of predefined hand gestures stored in a hand gesture library. In response to a match, the method includes executing an action in accordance with the matching hand gesture. In response to an opening gesture, an element animation system presents one or more graphical elements incrementally moving along a path extending away from the menu icon. A closing hand gesture causes the elements to retreat along the path toward the menu icon.

    Abstract: A method for operating a messaging system for sending modifiable videos including a self-image of a user is provided. The method includes providing a face outline to assist with taking the self-image. Instructions relating to a light level, a facial expression, a face position, and a face size may be provided to the user. A smile measurement is displayed to enable the user to adjust the current smile level to a target smile level. A stock video may be created using an actor wearing a mask and facing a video camera. The mask is a marker for insertion of the self-image. The stock video is uploaded to a database of stock videos and, after selection by a user, is combined with a self-image to form a personalized video.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a feedback adversarial learning framework, a recurrent framework for generative adversarial networks that can be widely adapted to not only stabilize training but also generate higher quality images. In some aspects, a discriminator's spatial outputs are distilled to improve generation quality. The disclosed embodiments model the discriminator into the generator, and the generator learns from its mistakes over time. In some aspects, a discriminator architecture encourages the model to be locally and globally consistent.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented that provide for receiving, at a media overlay publication system from a first client device, content to generate a media overlay, and generating the media overlay using the content received from the client device. The generated media overlay is stored in a database associated with the media overlay publication system and associated with a first characteristic of the content received from the first client device. The media overlay is provided to a second client device when a second characteristic of context data associated with the second client device correlates to the first characteristic for the media overlay, causing a display of the media overlay on a user interface of the second client device.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for updating element properties based on distances between elements in a virtual conference. The program and method provide, in association with designing a room, an interface for specifying how a first element in the room affects at least one property value of a second element, based on distance between the two elements; receive user selection of parameter values specifying how the first element affects the at least one property value of the second element based on the distance; provide a virtual conference between plural participants within the room including the first and second elements; update the at least one property value of the second element based on a change in distance between the first and second elements, and on the parameter values; and provide for updated display of the second element.

    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.
