In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first image and a second image, where at least part of the first image overlaps with at least part of the second image. The first and second images are divided into portions associated with a first set of grid points, where each grid point in the first set corresponds to a portion of the first image or the second image. Differences in the region of overlap between the first and second images are determined. One or more grid points in the first set and the corresponding portions of the first image or the second image are moved relative to one or more other grid points in the first set based on the determined differences.

Seamless image stitching

In particular embodiments, an apparatus includes a single electrode configured to passively receive a charge displacement and a change in characteristics of electromagnetic signals in an environment. The apparatus further includes a touch sensor, coupled to the single electrode, configured to detect a first input based on the charge displacement, and a second input based on the change in characteristics of electromagnetic signals in the environment.

Interaction sensing

A target image can be analyzed determine a respective level of visual saliency for each of a plurality of information presented in the target image. At least a first sub-frame update for a display panel can be determined, the at least first sub-frame update providing at least a partial rendering of the target image on the display panel, the at least partial rendering of the target image providing the information presented in the target image that is determined to have a highest level of visual saliency from among the plurality of information. The at least first sub-frame update can be applied to the display panel.

Parallelizing display update

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a body. At least a portion of the body includes one or more instances of magnetic material. The apparatus includes a moveable element coupled to the body and separated by a distance in a first dimension from the portion of the body. The moveable element includes one or more instances of magnetic material, and is configured to move in at least a second dimension perpendicular to the first dimension while the distance between the moveable element and the portion of the body remains fixed by the apparatus. At least one instance of the magnetic material in the moveable element repels or attracts at least one instance of the magnetic material in the body.

Magnetic haptic system

In particular embodiments, an apparatus includes an insulator coupled to one or more electrodes that are configured to passively sense charge displacement or a change in characteristics of electromagnetic signals in an environment.

In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving a signal from an electrode of a touch sensor that senses a charge displacement, based on the signal, in order to detect the contact or separation. The method further includes detecting a contact or separation input to the touch sensor.

The touch sensor is a touch sensor that senses changes in characteristics of the electromagnetic signal in an environment in order to detect the contact or the proximity.
