For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises execution circuitry to execute a dequantize instruction to convert a plurality of quantized data values to a plurality of dequantized data values, the dequantize instruction including a first source operand to identify a plurality of packed quantized data values in a source register and a destination operand to identify a destination register in which to store a plurality of packed dequantized data values, wherein the execution circuitry is to convert each packed quantized data value in the source register to a floating point value, to multiply the floating point value by a first value to generate a first product and to add the first product to a second value to generate a dequantized data value, and to store the dequantized data value in a packed data element location in the destination register.

A system for processing a plurality of graphical programs on a centralized computer system whereby the images produced by the programs are compressed and transmitted to a plurality of remote processing devices where they are decompressed. Compression assistance data (CAD) is produced by intercepting instructions outputted by the programs and the CAD is then used in the compression step.

Systems, methods and apparatuses may provide for technology to reduce rendering overhead associated with light field displays. The technology may conduct data formatting, re-projection, foveation, tile binning and/or image warping operations with respect to a plurality of display planes in a light field display.

A method includes accessing image data and depth data corresponding to image frames to be displayed on an extended reality (XR) display device, and determining sets of feature points corresponding to the image frames based on a multi-layer sampling of the image data and the depth data. The method further includes generating a set of sparse feature points based on an integration of the sets of feature points. The set of sparse feature points are determined based on relative changes in depth data with respect to the sets of feature points. The method further includes generating a set of sparse depth points based on the set of sparse feature points and the depth data and sending the set of sparse depth points to the XR display device for reconstruction of a dense depth map corresponding to the image frames utilizing the set of sparse depth points.

There is provided an information processing device, a generation method, and a rendering method that makes it possible to generate a high-quality image while curbing a rendering load. The information processing device of the present technology is a device including a generation unit that generate a plurality of pieces of texture information corresponding to an image when an object is imaged at a plurality of different viewpoints, from texture information corresponding to 3D shape data indicating a shape of the object. The present technology can be applied to an information processing system that generates and transfers 3D data that is used for rendering.

A mechanism is described for facilitating dynamic cache allocation in computing devices in computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating monitoring one or more bandwidth consumptions of one or more clients accessing a cache associated with a processor; computing one or more bandwidth requirements of the one or more clients based on the one or more bandwidth consumptions; and allocating one or more portions of the cache to the one or more clients in accordance with the one or more bandwidth requirements.

Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for decomposing and sharing 3D models. In an example method, a first version of a virtual three-dimensional model is displayed via a display of a wearable head device. A request is made to a host device for data associated with a second version of the virtual three-dimensional model, wherein the second version of the virtual three-dimensional model comprises a constituent part. It is determined whether the first version of the virtual three-dimensional model comprises the constituent part. In accordance with a determination that the first version of the virtual three-dimensional model does not comprise the constituent part, a request is made to the host device for data associated with the constituent part. The second version of the virtual three-dimensional model is displayed, via the display of the wearable head device. In accordance with a determination that the first version of the virtual three-dimensional model comprises the constituent part, a request is not made to the host device for data associated with the constituent part.

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for geometrically simplifying three-dimensional (3D) video data. In one aspect, a method may include obtaining 3D data, with the 3D data including a plurality of portions associated with a default resolution priority. A higher resolution priority may be associated with one or more portions of the 3D data. Next, portions of the 3D data may be sorted according to resolution priorities associated with each portion, and geometric simplification may be performed on the sorted portions of the 3D data, beginning with portions associated with a least resolution priority and continuing with portions associated with successively higher resolution priorities. The simplified 3D data may be processed, for example, for rendering on a computing device or transmission to another device for display or generation, such as a 3D printing device for generating a 3D object.

Systems, methods, and computer readable media to promote a graphics context when rendering a digital image content with dynamic ranges and/or color gamut outside the current graphics context. Various embodiments render digital image content based on a graphics context that corresponds to an initial image rendering format. During the rendering process a determination is made that indicates the quality of the digital image content exceeds the graphics context's initial capabilities. The various embodiments can select an updated image rendering format based on the quality of the digital image and expand the graphic context's capabilities to correspond with the updated image rendering format.

Techniques are disclosed for generating 2D images of a 3D avatar in a virtual world. In one embodiment, a request is received specifying customizations to the 3D avatar. The 2D images are generated based on the request, each 2D image representing the 3D avatar from a different viewing angle in the virtual world. Advantageously, the 2D images may be sent to a client for display, without requiring the client to render the 3D avatar.
