Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for user-to-avatar mapping and adjustment are disclosed. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to: determine a dissonance between a first orientation of a user in a real-world environment and a second orientation of an avatar in a virtual environment, the avatar corresponding to the user; determine an avatar adjustment value based on the dissonance; and apply the avatar adjustment value to the avatar model to change the second orientation.

User-to-avatar action mapping and adjustment

A mechanism is described for facilitating adaptive resolution and viewpoint-prediction for immersive media in computing environments. An apparatus of embodiments, as described herein, includes one or more processors to receive viewing positions associated with a user with respect to a display, and analyze relevance of media contents based on the viewing positions, where the media content includes immersive videos of scenes captured by one or more cameras. The one or more processors are further to predict portions of the media contents as relevant portions based on the viewing positions and transmit the relevant portions to be rendered and displayed.

An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include an application processor, persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the application processor, and a graphics subsystem communicatively coupled to the application processor. The graphics subsystem may include a first graphics engine to process a graphics workload, and a second graphics engine to offload at least a portion of the graphics workload from the first graphics engine. The second graphics engine may include a low precision compute engine. The system may further include a wearable display housing the second graphics engine. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Graphics system with additional context

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a stencil value and uses the stencil value to control, via a stencil buffer, a coarse pixel size of a graphics pipeline. Additionally, the stencil value may include a first range of bits defining a first dimension of the coarse pixel size and a second range of bits defining a second dimension of the coarse pixel size. In one example, the coarse pixel size is controlled for a plurality of pixels on a per pixel basis.
