    摘要: A first device coupled with a first display and an image sensor receives output data from a second device having a second display different from the first display. The output data represents content displayable by the second device on the second display. The first device determines, using the image sensor, a position of the second display relative to the first device and causes the first display to display content based on the output data received from the second device and the determined position of the second display relative to the first device.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a transceiver and a controller in communication with the transceiver. The controller is configured to determine a target lighting condition in a room relative to a current lighting condition in the room. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal with instructions to adjust an ambient lighting peripheral in the room based on the determined target lighting condition. The control signal is provided to the transceiver for transmission.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to improve the operation of graphics systems are described. In general, collision avoidance techniques are disclosed that operate even when the agent lacks a priori knowledge of its environment and is, further, agnostic as to whether the environment is two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D), whether the obstacles are convex or concave, or whether the obstacles are moving or stationary. More particularly, techniques disclosed herein use simple geometry to identify which edges of which obstacles an agent is most likely to collide. With this known, the direction of an avoidance force is also known. The magnitude of the force may be fixed, based on the agent's maximum acceleration, and modulated by weighting agents

    摘要: Systems, methods and program storage devices are disclosed, which comprise instructions to cause one or more processing units to dynamically render 3D lighting effects for a supplied 2D texture map—without the need for a programmer to supply a normal map along with the 2D texture map. According to some embodiments, an algorithm may inspect the pixel values (e.g., RGB values) of each individual pixel of the texture map, and, based on the pixel values, can accurately estimate where the lighting and shadow effects should be applied to the source 2D texture file to simulate 3D lighting. Further, because these effects are being rendered dynamically by the rendering and animation infrastructure, the techniques described herein work especially well for “dynamic content,” e.g., user-downloaded data, in-application user-created content, operating system (OS) icons, and other user interface (UI) elements for which programmers do not have access to normal maps a priori.

    摘要: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that enable a device to provide a view of virtual elements and a physical environment where the presentation of the virtual elements is based on positioning relative to the physical environment. In one example, a device is configured to detect a change in positioning of a virtual element, for example, when a virtual element is added, moved, or the physical environment around the virtual element is changed. The location of the virtual element in the physical environment is used to detect an attribute of the physical environment upon which the presentation of the virtual element depends. Thus, the device is further configured to detect an attribute (e.g., surface, table, mid-air, etc.) of the physical environment based on the placement of the virtual element and present the virtual element based on the detected attribute.

    摘要: Implementations use a first device (e.g., an HMD) to provide a CGR environment that augments the input and output capabilities of a second device, e.g., a laptop, smart speaker, etc. In some implementations, the first device communicates with a second device in its proximate physical environment to exchange input or output data. For example, an HMD may capture an image of a physical environment that includes a laptop. The HMD may detect the laptop, send a request the laptop's content, receive content from the laptop (e.g., the content that the laptop is currently displaying and additional content), identify the location of the laptop, and display a virtual object with the received content in the CGR environment on or near the laptop. The size, shape, orientation, or position of the virtual object (e.g., a virtual monitor or monitor extension) may also be configured to provide a better user experience.
