A runtime management system is described herein that allows a hosting layer to dynamically control an underlying runtime to selectively turn on and off various subsystems of the runtime to save power and extend battery life of devices on which the system operates. The hosting layer has information about usage of the runtime that is not available within the runtime, and can do a more effective job of disabling parts of the runtime that will not be needed without negatively affecting application performance or device responsiveness. The runtime management system includes a protocol of communication between arbitrary hosts and underlying platforms to expose a set of options to allow the host to selectively turn parts of a runtime on and off depending on varying environmental pressures. Thus, the runtime management system provides more effective use of potentially scarce power resources available on mobile platforms.

Embodiments are directed to rendering animations in a multi-layered animation system and to rendering an element with an animation that uses multiple levels of animation properties. In one scenario, a computer system establishes an operating system (OS)-specified animation value for at least one property of a user interface (UI) element that is to be animated. The computer system receives a user-specified animation value for at least one property of the UI element that is to be animated and determines, based on the UI element property, how to combine the OS-specified animation value and the user-specified animation value. The computer system then combines the OS-specified animation value and the user-specified value for the UI element in the determined manner and renders the animation for the element using the combined animation values.

Embodiments are directed to maintaining layout properties when aliasing a live element and to independently inheriting animation properties using aliases. In one scenario, a computer system generates aliases for a live element displayed in a user interface (UI). The aliases represent the live element in a UI layout which includes live element properties that are inherited hierarchically. The computer system removes the live element from the UI such that the live element is no longer visible on the UI, and integrates the generated aliases into the UI layout. The aliases inherit properties of the UI layout depending on where in the layout the alias was attached. The computer system then initiates an animation for the live element using the aliases which are integrated into the UI layout according to the properties inherited from the position of the aliases in the layout.

System and Method for Simulating an Immersive Three-Dimensional Virtual Reality Experience

Номер: US20220036659A1

Принадлежит: Individual

The present invention brings concerts directly to the people by streaming, preferably, 360° videos played back on a virtual reality headset and, thus, creating an immersive experience, allowing users to enjoy a performance of their favorite band at home while sitting in the living room. In some cases, 360° video material may not be available for a specific concert and the system has to fall back to traditional two-dimensional (2D) video material. For such cases, the present invention takes the limited space of a conventional video screen and expands it to a much wider canvas, by expanding color patterns of the video into the surrounding space. The invention may further provide seamless blending of the 2D medium into a 3D space and additionally enhancing the space with computer-generated effects and virtual objects that directly respond to the user's biometric data and/or visual and acoustic stimuli extracted from the played video.
