Abstract: A flight-capable drone that can optionally comprise: a body; a plurality of propellers each coupled to and having a fixed rotational axis relative to the body, and a plurality of propeller guards. The plurality of propellers operably configured to enable flight along a flight path. During the flight path the plurality of propellers are pitched forward at an angle relative to the flight path. The plurality of propeller guards are fixedly coupled to the body and have a least a part-annular extent. Each one of the plurality of propeller guards positioned radially adjacent a tip of a corresponding one of the plurality of propellers to protect the corresponding propeller from contact. The plurality of propeller guards are configured as an airfoil along at least a portion of the part-annular extent thereof to generate lift during flight along the flight path.

Abstract: A messaging system performs neural network hair rendering for images provided by users of the messaging system. A method of neural network hair rendering includes processing a three-dimensional (3D) model of fake hair and a first real hair image depicting a first person to generate a fake hair structure, and encoding, using a fake hair encoder neural subnetwork, the fake hair structure to generate a coded fake hair structure. The method further includes processing, using a cross-domain structure embedding neural subnetwork, the coded fake hair structure to generate a fake and real hair structure, and encoding, using an appearance encoder neural subnetwork, a second real hair image depicting a second person having a second head to generate an appearance map. The method further includes processing, using a real appearance renderer neural subnetwork, the appearance map and the fake and real hair structure to generate a synthesized real image.

Abstract: A system for correcting for frame bending of an augmented reality system is provided. A combination of strain gauges and visual inertial odometry is used to determine strains in the frame. An initial model between strain gauge measurements and actual frame spatial relationships is based on finite element analysis or calibration. During an initial visual inertial odometry data calculation phase, the augmented reality system calculates bending or strains of the frame using strain data from the strain gauges mounted to the frame. Subsequent visual inertial odometry data calculations are used to generate a corrected frame model of the frame. The corrected frame model is used for calculating corrected tracking data and corrected virtual overlays that are used to generate virtual overlays used in an AR experience provided by the augmented reality system.

Abstract: Method of generating modified media content items for sharing to external applications starts with a processor receiving a media content item from a client device. Processor causes a sharing interface to be displayed on the client device. Sharing interface includes selectable items associated with external applications. Processor receives from the client device a selection of a first selectable item of the selectable items that is associated with a first external application of the external applications. Processor determines an attribute associated with the media content item. Processor generates a modified media content item based on the first external application and the attribute associated with the media content item and causes the modified media content item to be displayed in the first external application activated on the client device. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
