Abstract: A method of error logging includes: receiving from a user interface a first input from a user indicating that they have seen a visible error in a displayed graphical output of a computer application, tracking the gaze of the user to estimate the position, on at least a first display showing at least part of the displayed graphical output, at which the user's gaze is directed, receiving from the user interface a second input from the user indicating that they have identified the visible error with their gaze, capturing data relating to the displayed graphical output of the computer application, the data including a capture of at least part of the displayed graphical output including the identified visible error, and the estimated positon of the user's gaze with respect to the displayed graphical output, and generating an error report including the captured data.

Abstract: A system includes a head-mountable display (HMD) configured to receive one or more signals via a wired connection with an external device, processing circuitry to generate an output indicative of at least one of a predicted disconnect event and a detected disconnect event for the wired connection, and control circuitry to instruct one or more operations to be performed by the HMD in response to the generated output.

Abstract: A method of environment mapping comprising the steps of receiving a plurality of images from respective different viewpoints; using a simultaneous localisation and mapping ‘SLAM’ process, detect feature points in the plurality of images; classifying one or more objects within the plurality of images as being objects of interest; determining the position of the or each object of interest using feature points corresponding to the objects of interest in the images; and providing an indication of the position of one or more objects of interest to a user of a virtual display; and wherein the step of determining the position of the or each object of interest using their feature points is repeated, more frequently than for other feature points in the images.

Abstract: A head mountable display, HMD, system to display images to a user via an HMD comprises an illumination detector to detect an illumination level of an ambient environment around the HMD; an operation detector to detect one or more operations indicative of one or both of: (i) initiation of the HMD being put on by the user; and (ii) initiation of the HMD being taken off by the user; and a controller to control the illumination level of the display images, the controller being configured to generate and apply a temporary illumination level variation to the display images in response to a detection of the one or more operations by the operation detector.

Abstract: An image rendering method the steps of, for a view of a virtual model having a locus of interest, performing flexible scale rasterisation with a first bin distribution for a luminance channel, and mapping the results to a first pixel space; performing flexible scale rasterisation with a second bin distribution for chrominance channels, and mapping the results to a second pixel space; and outputting an image based upon the luminance and chrominance results mapped to the first and second pixel spaces; where the second bin distribution includes larger bins than the first bin distribution in a region outside the locus of interest.

Abstract: An encoding apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises an input unit operable to obtain a plurality of training images, said training images being for use in training a machine learning model. The apparatus also comprises a label unit operable to obtain a class label associated with the training images; and a key unit operable to obtain a secret key for use in encoding the training images. The apparatus further comprises an image noise generator operable to generate, based on the obtained secret key, noise for introducing into the training images. The image noise generator is configured to generate noise that correlates with the class label associated with the training images such that a machine learning model subsequently trained with the modified training images learns to associate the introduced noise with the class label for those images. A corresponding decoding apparatus is also provided.
