Abstract: A method for updating information for a graphics pipeline including executing in the first frame period an application on a CPU to generate primitives of a scene for a first video frame. Gaze tracking information is received in a second frame period for an eye of a user. In the second frame period a landing point on an HMD display is predicted at the CPU based at least on the gaze tracking information. A late update of the predicted landing point to a buffer accessible by the GPU is performed in the second frame period. Shader operations are performed in the GPU in the second frame period to generate pixel data based on the primitives and based on the predicted landing point, wherein the pixel data is stored into a frame buffer. The pixel data is scanned out in the third frame period from the frame buffer to the HMD.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling communication between users are described. One of the methods includes receiving, via a computer network, data regarding a plurality of real gestures made by a first user via a first user account. The data regarding the plurality of real gestures is received from a client device. The method further includes determining, from the data, whether a speed of occurrence of the plurality of real gestures is greater than a predetermined speed. After determining that the speed of occurrence of the plurality of real gestures is greater than the predetermined speed, the method includes determining one or more meanings of a combination of the plurality of real gestures. The method includes communicating the one or more meanings of the combination via a virtual avatar, controlled by the first user via the first user account, to a second user.

Abstract: By using the user head and/or eye tracking capabilities of an extended reality (XR) system, a region of gaze (ROG) of the user towards the virtual screen can be determined and signaled to non-XR games and applications running on the host system connected to the XR system. The existing non-XR games/applications can be patched, upgraded, or remastered to support the application of the ROG and ROG based enhancements of the visuals and user interfaces, using the provided by the system software on the host system that is rendering the game for the XR system.

Abstract: A method for predicting eye movement in a head mounted display (HMD). The method including tracking movement of an eye of a user with a gaze tracking system disposed in the HMD at a plurality of sample points. The method including determining velocity of the movement based on the movement of the eye. The method including determining that the eye of the user is in a saccade upon the velocity reaching a threshold velocity. The method including predicting a landing point on the display of the HMD corresponding to a direction of the eye for the saccade.

Abstract: A method for implementing a graphics pipeline. The method includes building a first shadow map of high resolution, and building a second shadow map based on the first shadow map of lower resolution. The method includes determining a light source affecting a virtual scene, and projecting geometries of objects of an image of the virtual scene onto a plurality of pixels of a display from a first point-of-view. The method includes determining a foveal region when rendering the image, wherein the foveal region corresponds to where an attention of a user is directed. The method includes determining a first set of geometries is drawn to a first pixel, determining the first set of geometries is in shadow based on the light source, and determining the first set of geometries is outside of the foveal region. The method includes rendering the first set of geometries using the second shadow map.
