A system and method is provided for generating an edit decision list used to render a video summarization. The system may determine a structure indicating a pacing and a sequence of video clips included in the video summarization. The system may determine weighted priority metrics for a plurality of video clips, may identify first video clips having a weighted priority metric above a first threshold and may include the first video clips in the video summarization. The system may determine similarity scores for the plurality of video clips, identify second video clips having a weighted priority metric below the first threshold but above a second threshold and a similarity score below a third threshold and may include a portion of the second video clips in the video summarization. The system may determine layouts, apply special effects and transitions and synchronize music with the video summarization based on a theme and annotation data.

A system and method for generating a corrected input to a display to offset glare is provided. The system determines a location of a user's head and calculates a reflection vector based on a head vector from a device to a point on the user's head. The system identifies light sources using a camera and determines display pixels on a display of the device affected by the reflection of the light sources based on head detection and locations of the light sources. The system dynamically adjusts pixel brightness to account for a detected glare, thus improving the user's experience operating the UI.

Glare correction via pixel processing

A system for navigating content may be responsive to movement of a hand by a user toward and away from a display surface. The content may be visually arranged and presented as a stack of visual panes. Moving the hand away from the display surface causes the panes to move upwardly through the stack. Moving the hand toward the display surface causes the panes to move downwardly through the stack. When moving upward, the otherwise topmost pane is deactivated and hidden. Upon reaching the top of the stack, a pane is activated and displayed in full.
