Neural animation layering for synthesizing movement
In some embodiments, the dynamic animation generation system can provide a deep learning framework to produce a large variety of martial arts movements in a controllable manner from unstructured motion capture data. The system can imitate animation layering using neural networks with the aim to overcome challenges when mixing, blending and editing movements from unaligned motion sources. The system can synthesize movements from given reference motions and simple user controls, and generate unseen sequences of locomotion, but also reconstruct signature motions of different fighters. For achieving this task, the dynamic animation generation system can adopt a modular framework that is composed of the motion generator, that maps the trajectories of a number of key joints and root trajectory to the full body motion, and a set of different control modules that map the user inputs to such trajectories.
Systems and methods for improved collision detection in video games
The patent discloses improved methods and systems for detecting a collision between a player controlled virtual character in a video game and an object positioned on a surface in a virtual environment of the video game. Two geometric models are defined, one of which is preferably a cylinder and the other of which is preferably a capsule. For a frame of the video game, data indicative of a position, velocity and direction of the virtual character is acquired and, in a subsequent frame, data indicative of another position of the virtual character is acquired. The first geometric model is moved vertically downward by a predefined distance to identify a level of the ground surface and the second geometric model is moved horizontally forward to detect a collision of the virtual character with the object.
External controller for an eyewear device
Systems and methods are provided for using an external controller with an AR device. The system establishes, by one or more processors of the AR device, a communication with an external client device. The system overlays, by the AR device, a first AR object on a real-world environment being viewed using the AR device. The system receives interaction data from the external client device representing one or more inputs received by the external client device and, in response, modifies the first AR object by the AR device.

Systems and methods of synchronizing game states in a multiple player game by dynamically controlling moving object speed
Provided is an information processing system in which a moving object (ball) is moved at a first speed in first to third virtual spaces of first to third apparatuses. In the second virtual space of the second apparatus, the moving speed of the moving object is changed from the first speed to a second speed lower than the first speed.
