Abstract: The reaction to randomized forces that are imposed on a ragdoll computer simulation character are learned by a neural network such as a generative adversarial network (GAN) as the forces are applied to the character and the character attempts to return to an initial character configuration.

Abstract: A controller device includes a controller body with an interface port and least one control information output port. A modular input control is removably attachable to the controller body. The modular input control includes an interface connector region that is configured to communicatively couple the modular input control to the interface port. The modular input control is configured to be freely rotatable when attached to the controller body and operable in any orientation about the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a real-world object in a scene viewed by a camera of a user device, matching the real-world object with a tagged object based at least in part on image recognition and a sharing setting of the tagged object, the tagged object having been tagged with a content item, providing a notification to a user of the user device that the content item is associated with the real-world object, receiving a request from the user for the content item, and providing the content item to the user. A computer readable storage medium stores one or more computer programs, and an apparatus includes a processor-based device.

Abstract: A computer controller when in a normal orientation causes a first context of simulation play to be implemented. When inverted, the controller causes a second, different context of simulation play to be implemented.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for rendering images on a head mounted display (HMD). One method includes operations for tracking, with one or more first cameras inside the HMD, the gaze of a user and for tracking motion of the HMD. The motion of the HMD is tracked by analyzing images of the HMD taken with a second camera that is not in the HMD. Further, the method includes an operation for predicting the motion of the gaze of the user based on the gaze and the motion of the HMD. Rendering policies for a plurality of regions, defined on a view rendered by the HMD, are determined based on the predicted motion of the gaze. The images are rendered on the view based on the rendering policies.

Abstract: A system can determine that a simulated (e.g., virtual) weapon has hit a UAV. This can include determining a simulated position of the simulated weapon and the relative position of the UAV. The system can then determine an area of effect for the weapon and determine if the UAV was hit. The system can determine what components of the UAV were hit and to what degree. The system can then determine a simulated condition such as a damaged engine or wing. The system can then receive input for controlling the UAV and combine the input with the simulated condition to generate a control signal for the UAV. The control signal can include decreasing the power to a motor.

Abstract: A media system employs techniques to identify relevant gameplay content in a game environment using a vector-space framework. These techniques include generating a user query based on feature-values for features associated with a user frame of a user stream, mapping the user query to a user vector in a vector-space, selecting relevant content streams from a plurality of content streams based on a proximity between the user vector and position vectors mapped to the plurality of content streams, and presenting at least a portion of the relevant content streams.

Abstract: A media system employs techniques to create a framework for evaluating gameplay content in a vector-space. These techniques include monitoring frames for content streams that correspond to gameplay in a game environment, determining feature-values for features associated with the frames, mapping the content streams to position vectors in the vector-space based on the feature-values, and assigning a set of position vectors in the vector-space to an area in the game environment based on a relative proximity of the set of position vectors in the vector-space.
