Abstract: A method includes: rendering a field of view of a virtual environment for a first user of a head mounted display, rendering a view of the virtual environment outside the field of view of the first user at a lower resolution, outputting the rendered field of view for display to the first user, and recording the combined render as a video for subsequent viewing by a second user. A corresponding method includes requesting to download or stream the video from a remote source, receiving the download or stream of the video from the remote source, and outputting at least part of the stream or video for display to a second user wearing a head mounted display.

Abstract: A decrease in responsiveness when storing content in a flash memory is reduced. A storage management apparatus includes a flash memory including a plurality of blocks that include a plurality of usable blocks and one or more spare blocks. The apparatus is configured to acquire a new data set; change at least a part of the one or more spare blocks into a usable block and store the new data set in the thus changed usable block, in a case where a size of the new data set is larger than the writable area of the plurality of usable blocks and where the size of the new data set is larger than the writable area when an unnecessary data set contained in the plurality of usable blocks is deleted; and change the usable blocks all the data sets of which are deleted into spare blocks through garbage collection.

Abstract: A method, system and computer product for training a control input system involve taking an integral of an output value from a Motion Decision Neural Network for one or more movable joints to generate an integrated output value and generating a subsequent output value using a machine learning algorithm that includes a sensor value and a previous joint position if the integrated output value does not at least meet the threshold. Surface damping interactions with at least a simulated environment, a rigid body position and a position of the one or more movable joints based on an integral of the subsequent output value are simulated. The Motion Decision Neural Network is trained with the machine learning algorithm based upon at least a result of the simulation of the simulated environment and position of the one or more movable joints.

Abstract: A method generating an image according to a style is described. The method includes receiving a textual description describing a first image. The method further includes applying an artificial intelligence (AI) model to determine the style of a second image based on the textual description, the first image, a plurality of descriptions, and a plurality of images to generate a suggestion. The style provides a context to the second image. The style is lacking in the first image. The method includes generating the second image with the suggestion according to the style and providing the second image to a client device for display.

Abstract: A resilient deformable sphere includes a laser projector positioned to project a grid onto the inner surface of the sphere and a camera positioned to image the grid. When the sphere is deformed, the grid is distorted. Distortions in the grid are mapped to input signals to a computer simulation or other computer program.

Abstract: A system and method for launching gameplay from streaming content is provided. Information regarding media content may be stormed in memory. Such media content may have at least one or more trigger points and each trigger point may be associated with a set of game data specific to a gameplay scene within an interactive title. The media content may be streamed to a user device over a communication network. A selection of one of the at least one or more trigger points may be received over the communication network from the user device. Identifying the set of game data associated with the selected trigger point may be identified and the interactive title for gameplay may be launched by the user device based on the identified set of game data associated with the selected trigger point.
