Mixed-reality systems are provided for using anchor data structures, such as anchor graphs, within a mixed-reality environment. These systems utilize anchor components, such as anchor vertexes, that comprise at least one first key frame, a first mixed-reality element, and at least one first transform connecting the at least one first key frame to the first mixed-reality element. Anchor connecting components, such as anchor edges, comprise transformations that connect the anchor components (e.g., anchor vertexes).

Sharing of sparse slam coordinate systems

Mixed-reality systems are provided for using anchor graphs within a mixed-reality environment. These systems utilize anchor vertexes that comprise at least one first key frame, a first mixed-reality element, and at least one first transform connecting the at least one first key frame to the first mixed-reality element. Anchor edges comprising transformations connect the anchor vertexes.

An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other identifier to retrieve dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to render HTML files into a static image, sized appropriately, that can be presented on a static display device. A user enters URLs identifying locations of dynamic content within a configuration interface on the image service. The image service then dynamically pulls the selected content from the identified web sites, converts the web pages, or portions thereof, into static digital image files, and downloads the image files for display on a static display device.

Dynamic content delivery to network-enabled static display device

An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other location identifier to retrieve static images embedded in dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to extract one or more static images embedded in the dynamic content presentation that can be consumed by the static display device. URLs to existing web pages are entered into a configuration interface on the image service. The image service parses the web pages, identifies a direct location identifier for the embedded image, and passes the direct location identifier to the static display device for direct retrieval of the embedded image. In another implementation, the image service dynamically pulls the selected embedded images from the identified web sites, and downloads the static image files for display on the static display device.
