Appl. No.:

16/223949

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Daniel THOMAS - Summerville SC, US
Matthew L. SCOTT - Charleston SC, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B65B 13/26
B65H 69/04
B65B 27/10

Abstract:

A system, device and method to facilitate tying a knot are provided. In the context of a device, the device includes a fixture defining an internal passage therethrough. The fixture defines a circumferential groove opening through an interior surface of the fixture and into the internal passage. The groove includes first and second groove portions that cross one another. Opposite ends of the groove are coincident and open through an exterior surface of the fixture. With relation to a system, the system includes a fixture and a lead member supply mechanism configured to alternately feed a lead member through the groove and to withdraw the lead member from the groove once the tie member is connected thereto.

International Classification:

G06T 15/20
G06F 3/0481
G06F 3/0484

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) associating a planar element within a virtual environment with an alternate virtual environment and (ii) rendering the virtual environment such that (A) the alternate virtual environment is framed within the planar element, (B) at least one rendered element of the alternate virtual environment renders at a distal depth beyond a proximal depth of the planar element within the virtual environment, and (C) altering a viewpoint within the virtual environment relative to a position of the planar element within the virtual environment produces a parallax effect between the virtual environment and the rendered element of the alternate virtual environment due at least in part to the rendered element of the alternate virtual environment being rendered at the distal depth beyond the proximal depth of the planar element within the virtual environment. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract:

A multichannel virtual puppetry device for creating a single virtual character performance one character feature at a time by building up layers of puppeteered animation. The device has a 2D input square particularly mapped for each feature channel. Dimensions of expression for a selected expression for a selected feature for each channel are driven by XY coordinates of the input.
