The invention provides a method for human-computer interaction (HCl) on a graphical user interface (GUI). The method includes the steps of displaying a plurality of objects positioned in relation to each other and in relation to the display window; determining user input; distorting at least one of the position relations according to a magnification function with a focal dip, where the focal position of the magnification function is controllable by the user input; and updating the distortion whenever the relevant user input changes.

Systems and methods are disclosed for aligning a two-dimensional (2D) design image to a 2D projection image of a three-dimensional (3D) design model. One method comprises receiving a 2D design document, the 2D design document comprising a 2D design image, and receiving a 3D design file comprising a 3D design model, the 3D design model comprising one or more design elements. The method further comprises generating a 2D projection image based on the 3D design model, the 2D projection image comprising a representation of at least a portion of the one or more design elements, generating a projection barcode based on the 2D projection image, and generating a drawing barcode based on the 2D design image. The method further comprises aligning the 2D projection image and the 2D design image by comparing the projection barcode and the drawing barcode.

Systems and methods for modifying image distortion (curvature) for viewing distance in post capture. Presentation of imaging content on a content display device may be characterized by a presentation field of view (FOV). Presentation FOV may be configured based on screen dimensions of the display device and distance between the viewer and the screen. Imaging content may be obtained by an activity capture device characterized by a wide capture field of view lens (e.g., fish-eye). Images may be transformed into rectilinear representation for viewing. When viewing images using presentation FOV that may narrower than capture FOV, transformed rectilinear images may appear distorted. A transformation operation may be configured to account for presentation FOV-capture FOV mismatch. In some implementations, the transformation may include fish-eye to rectilinear transformation characterized by a transformation strength that may be configured based on a ratio of the presentation FOV to the capture FOV.

An electronic device, method, and computer readable medium for foveated storage and processing are provided. The electronic device includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor performs head tracking and eye tracking; generates a foveated image from an original image based on the head tracking and the eye tracking; and stores the foveated image using one of: a tile-based method or a frame-based method.

The present invention provides computerized systems and methods for providing electronically presented interactive area representation, such as a map, and information associated therewith. A user can select text, imagery, or other information presented on the map and associated with one or more items or locations, causing presentation of information relating to the associated one or more items or locations, such as appropriate contact information or a hyperlink to an appropriate Web site. Additionally or alternatively, a user can input or select, based on a query or otherwise, information relating to one or more items or locations associated with text, imagery, or other information presented on the map, causing presentation of an indication of one or more locations of the associated text, imagery, or other information on the map. A magnifier feature allowing internal navigation within the map can be provided. Additionally, animated images can appear to move over the map.

A method, a head-up display and a display system for the perspective transformation and displaying of rendered image content, as well as a corresponding vehicle, are provided. In the perspective transformation and outputting method, the image content to be displayed is subdivided into a plurality of tiles, and the individual tiles are each transformed in perspective using perspective transformation. The individual tiles that have been transformed in perspective are then combined to form a transformed image content, and the image content transformed in perspective is projected onto a projection area of the head-up display or displayed on a display unit.

A computer implemented method and apparatus for controlling display of displayed digital content using eye movement. The method comprises mapping eye movements, tracked by a camera of a display device, to an area of interest of displayed content. A window containing a magnified version of display content from within the area of interest is generated. The magnified display content from the area of interest is displayed together with display content from outside the area of interest. A hovering pointer gesture is optionally displayed within the area of interest or a selectable function is performed if display content within the area of interest corresponds to a user interface function or a navigation option. According to some embodiments, the window containing magnified display content is only generated and displayed when the display content within the area of interest does not correspond to a user selectable function.

According to various embodiments, an image processing device may be provided. The image processing device may include: an input circuit configured to receive display data; a splitting circuit configured to split the display data into a first output and a second output; a first output circuit configured to output the first output for displaying with a first spatial resolution; and a second output circuit configured to output the second output for displaying with a second spatial resolution.
