    Abstract: A system and method for control of perceived brightness level in a display device based on the brightness of individual content items to provide a consistent viewing experience. This is a method of visual content-based brightness control. Adjusting the perceived display of individual visual content items does not rely on the adjustment of a display device's settings or controls, such as a general setting to control the brightness of a display screen, but rather evaluates the visual content being presented and adjusts the presentation layers for display of the visual content provided as part of the display screen. In this way, adjusting parameter(s) of one or more of these presentation layers provides control over the brightness level of the displayed content as a function of the brightness of the content.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a presentation of an experience (e.g., a journey) to a user using augmented reality (AR). During a capture phase, persons in the journey may take videos or pictures using their smartphones, GoPros, and/or smart glasses. A drone may also take videos or pictures during the journey. During an experience phase, an AR topographical rendering of the real-world environment of the journey may be rendered on a tabletop, highlighting/animating a path persons took in the journey. The persons may be rendered as miniature avatars/dolls overlaid on the representation of the real-world environment. When the user clicks on a point in the presentation of the journey, a perspective (e.g., the videos or pictures) at that point is presented.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for deforming an external mesh. The operations comprise receiving a video that includes a depiction of a real-world object. The operations comprise generating a three-dimensional (3D) body mesh associated with the real-world object that tracks movement of the real-world object across frames of the video. The operations comprise obtaining an external mesh associated with an Augmented-Reality (AR) element. The operations comprise accessing a plurality of deformation attributes associated with the external mesh, each attribute corresponding to a different deformation model. The operations comprise separately deforming, based on respective deformation models, a first portion of the external mesh and a second portion of the external mesh. The operations comprise modifying the video to include a display of the AR element based on the separately deformed first and second portions of the external mesh.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting participant reactions within a virtual working environment. The program and method provide a configuration interface for configuring a virtual working environment for plural participants, the configuration interface for specifying groups of participants, each group comprising respective participants selected from among the plural participants; receive first user input, provided via the configuration interface, specifying a first group of participants; provide, for each participant in the first group, display of a reactions interface with user-selectable buttons to indicate respective reactions for displaying to the first group; receive second user input, provided via the reactions interface, selecting one of the user-selectable buttons to indicate a reaction for displaying to the first group; and provide, for each participant in the first group, display of a reaction icon corresponding to the reaction.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving a first plurality of media content items during a first time interval, identifying, from the first plurality of media content items, a first subset of media content items based on a first characteristic, and identifying, from the first subset of media content items, a second subset of media content items based on a second characteristic. The systems and methods are also provided for generating a first sequenced content collection including the first subset and the second subset and causing a first content collection interface to be displayed by the first computing device, the first content collection interface comprising the first sequenced content collection.
