US Classification:

345426, 345419

Abstract:

A graphics rendering system and method is disclosed, in which color values for certain pixels appearing on the screen may be adjusted to create a blurring effect. A pixel-by-pixel comparison may be used to compare differences in depth, as noted in a depth buffer, and if pixel depths are sufficiently close, the pixel's color may be softened to take into account color values of neighboring pixels.

US Classification:

427361, 427364, 427365, 427366, 427369, 427370

Abstract:

The barrier properties of a water soluble gas barrier material are improved if the material is blended with a nanoparticle calcium carbonate having a size of from 10 to 250 nanometers. The barrier material is on a substrate to provide a substrate with gas barrier properties. A layer of heat sealable material may be applied to the exposed surface of the barrier material. A method for making the barrier coated substrate is disclosed.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345633

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating an image for a user based on an image captured by a scene-facing camera or detector. The user's position relative to a component of the system is determined, and the image captured by the scene-facing detector is modified based on the user's position. The resulting image represents the scene as seen from the perspective of the user. The resulting image may be further modified by augmenting the image with additional images, graphics, or other data.

International Classification:

G06T015/70

US Classification:

345/473000

Abstract:

A computer animation system, method, game, device, and storage medium are provided. The method typically includes providing a two-dimensional map of an animated object, in which the two-dimensional map includes rendering information. The method typically further includes rendering an animated object by applying, in real time, portions of a skin texture to the two dimensional map based on the rendering information. The method may be used for real-time computer game animation. The rendering information may be encoded as color values, which are transmitted by color channels.
