Multimodal kinematic template matching and regression modeling for ray pointing prediction in virtual reality

An electronic device tracks, for a user performing a target acquisition movement within a 3D space, movement parameters of a plurality of input devices of the user. The electronic device predicts, for the user, a region of interest within the 3D space, using a regression model, based on the movement parameters. The region of interest includes a plurality of targets in close proximity. The electronic device predicts an endpoint of the target acquisition movement, within the region of interest, using a pointer facilitation technique. In some embodiments, the plurality of input devices includes an eye tracking input device, each input device corresponds to a predefined input device type, and the movement parameters include gaze data from the eye tracking input device. In some embodiments, input devices includes an eye tracking input device, a head-mounted display, and a hand-held controller, and the user's eye, hand, and head movements are coordinated.

An electronic device with a display selects a subset of templates from a library of templates. Each of the templates comprises logged movements of one or more predefined input device types in a 3D space and each template includes one or more movement parameters. The electronic device tracks, for a user, movement parameters of at least one input device of the user. The at least one input device corresponds to one of the predefined input device types. The electronic device compares the tracked movement parameters of the at least one input device of the user to the movement parameters for the subset of the templates selected from the library of templates. The electronic device predicts, based on the comparison, a goal target ray, within the 3D space. In some embodiments, the goal target ray is highlighted or visually emphasized according to the prediction.

Head-coupled kinematic template matching for predicting 3D ray cursors

The techniques and mechanisms described herein are directed at sharing objects between applications executing in a virtual runtime environment. The techniques include compiling a cpu-independent file to create executable instructions that are associated with an application that is executable in a virtual runtime environment. A constructor associated with a shareable class defined within the cpu-independent file is executed to create an instance of a shareable object. The shareable object is then persisted in a manner such that other applications executing in the virtual runtime environment may access the shareable object. The technique may be performed during pre-JIT compilation or just-in-time compilation of the cpu-independent file. The execution of the constructor is performed at a restricted security level that prevents access to changeable information when generating static data for the static members of the shareable object.

System and method for sharing objects between applications in a virtual runtime environment

A system and method for mitigating problems associated with automatic execution of initialization code is provided. The system includes an initialization method activator that can call a class initialization method at a pre-determined execution point. The system also includes a deadlock analyzer that can determine whether calling the initialization method will create a deadlock, and, if a deadlock is detected that can resolve such a deadlock. The system also includes a semantic analyzing component that can analyze a semantic type associated with the initialization method and a domain uniqueness analyzer that can analyze the uniqueness of the domain with which the class will interact, to facilitate determining where to place code that will check whether a class is initialized, and if the class is not initialized that will invoke the class initializing method.

Class initialization method semantics

The contents of a cache of specialized code interpreted into an intermediate language may be recompiled for execution in a managed execution environment in accordance with an automated process in such a manner to minimize any impact on machine resources.

Code compilation management service

A system and method is provided for generating and executing specialized code executables. The system includes a virtual subsystem that processes a generic code image and logs information relating to an operating environment of the virtual subsystem. The logged information is employed as feedback to generate a specialized native executable, wherein the specialized native executable is utilized to provide improved performance of the virtual subsystem. The specialized native executable is selected for execution by the virtual subsystem by matching a current operating environment setting with the logged information.

System and method providing on-demand generation of specialized executables

Authored code may include a notification that no tolerance for failure or corruption is expected for an identified sub-set of the code. Any potential failure point, which may be induced by a runtime environment routine or sub-routine, that is associated with the identified sub-set of code may then be identified and hoisted to a point apart from the identified sub-set of code.

Constrained execution regions

Systems and methods to synchronize file loading operations are described. In one aspect, file loading operations are divided into multiple loading levels. The loading levels are incremental with respect to one another. The loading levels are executed in a sequential order. Each loading level includes operations that are independent and distinct of operations of all other loading levels. The systems and methods load a file to an allowed loading level. The allowed loading level includes operations associated with one or more of the multiple loading levels.

File loading synchronization

A finalizer may include a notification that no tolerance for failure or corruption is expected. Any potential failure point, which may be induced by a runtime execution environment routine or subroutine that is associated with the finalizer may then be prepared apart from the finalizer.

Critical finalizers

An application program interface (API) provides a set of functions for application developers who build Web applications on Microsoft Corporation's .NET&#x2122; platform.

Application program interface for network software platform

A system and method of providing edit and continue support in a software program debugging environment. 'Edit and continue' support allows a user (e.g., programmer and/or developer) to update the code and/or data structure(s) of an executing program while it is running. After the user has finished editing their code and resumes execution, an integrated development environment (IDE) propagates the edit(s) into a common language runtime (CLR) environment before continuing. Therefore, from the CLR environment's perspective, an edit is a block of intermediate language code (IL) and/or metadata that is inserted into a running process. Moreover, The IDE can facilitate: determining 'legality' of an edit; building the edit; sending the edit to the CLR environment; and/or, facilitating the CLR environment switch execution to the edited code.
