Embodiments of the present invention are directed at providing a font similarity preview for non-resident fonts. In one embodiment, a font is selected on a computing device. In response to the selection of the font, a pre-computed font list is checked to determine what fonts are similar to the selected font. In response to a determination that similar fonts are not local to the computing device, a non-resident font list is sent to a font vendor. The font vendor sends back previews of the non-resident fonts based on entitlement information of a user. Further, a full non-resident font can be synced to the computing device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Non-resident font preview

Digital content interaction and navigation techniques and systems in virtual and augmented reality are described. In one example, techniques are employed to aid user interaction within a physical environment in which the user is disposed while viewing a virtual or augmented reality environment. In another example, techniques are described to support a world relative field of view and a fixed relative field of view. The world relative field of view is configured to follow motion of the user (e.g., movement of the user's head or mobile phone) within the environment to support navigation to different locations within the environment. The fixed relative field of view is configured to remain fixed during this navigation such that digital content disposed in this field of view remains at that relative location to a user's field of view.

Digital content interaction and navigation in virtual and augmented reality

Systems and methods are disclosed for classifying digital fonts. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods detect a new digital font, automatically classify the digital font into one or more font classifications, and make the digital font available via a user interface. More particularly, the disclosed systems and methods can conduct searches for the new digital font, identify digital fonts similar to the new digital font, and apply the new digital font to digital text in an electronic document.

Automatically classifying and presenting digital fonts

A mesh is a collection of multiple shapes referred to as elements, each of which can share an edge with one or more other elements of the mesh. The mesh is presented to the user on a display, and the user identifies a new element to be added to the mesh. User input is received to manipulate the new element (e.g., move the new element around the display). As the new element is manipulated, various conditions are applied to determine edges of elements existing in the mesh that the new element can be snapped to. Snapping a new element to an edge of an existing element in the mesh refers to adding the new element to the mesh so that the new element and the existing element share the edge. Indications of the edges of existing elements to which the new element can be snapped are provided to the user.

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for generating an interactive digital media item based on a two-dimensional 'selfie.' For example, one or more embodiments described herein identifies a face in the two-dimensional 'selfie,' then builds and displays a three-dimensional model based on the identified face. One or more embodiments described herein also track movement of a viewer of a computing device displaying the three-dimensional model such that one or more portions of the three-dimensional model appear to follow the person viewing the 'selfie.'

A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for simulation of a stateful brush tip. A tip of a brush tool is modeled using a data structure. A user input is collected representing a stroke made on a virtual canvas with the brush tool. The stroke is made with the tip in a first state. A second state of the tip is determined dependent on the first state of the tip and the user input. The second state represents a different shape of the tip than the first state. The second state of the tip is stored using the data structure.

Methods and apparatus for simulation of a stateful brush tip in a natural media drawing and/or painting simulation

Dynamic motion path blur techniques are described. In one or more implementations, paths may be specified to constrain a motion blur effect to be applied to a single image. A variety of different techniques may be employed as part of the motion blur effects, including use of curved blur kernel shapes, use of a mesh representation of blur kernel parameter fields to support real time output of the motion blur effect to an image, use of flash effects, blur kernel positioning to support centered or directional blurring, tapered exposure modeling, and null paths.

In embodiments of removing noise from an image via efficient patch distance computations, weights are computed for patches of pixels in a digital image, and the computed weights are multiplied by respective offset values of offset images that are pixelwise shifted images of the entire digital image. The weights can be applied to the pixels in the digital image on a patch-by-patch basis to restore values of the pixels. Additionally, the digital image can be pixelwise shifted to generate the offset images of the digital image, and the digital image is compared to the offset images. Lookup tables of pixel values can be generated based on the comparisons of the digital image to the offset images, and integral images generated from the lookup tables. Distances to the patches of pixels in the digital image are computed from the integral images, and the computed weights are based on the computed distances.

Removing noise from an image via efficient patch distance computations

Systems and methods herein provide for reduced computations in image processing and a more efficient way of computing distances between patches in patch-based image denoising. One method is operable within a processing system to remove noise from a digital image by generating a plurality of lookup tables of pixel values based on a plurality of comparisons of the digital image to offsets of the digital image, generating integral images from the lookup tables, and computing distances between patches of pixels in the digital image from the integral images. The method also includes computing weights for the patches of pixels in the digital image based on the computed distances and applying the weights to pixels in the digital image on a patch-by-patch basis to restore values of the pixels.

A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for conversion of contiguous interleaved image data. Image data in a contiguous interleaved format is received at a graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU generates converted image data in a tiled format based on the image data in the contiguous interleaved format. The GPU sends the converted image data in the tiled format to a central processing unit (CPU).

Systems and methods for simulating watercolor painting effects in a graphics application may employ an ink dispersion model comprising three layers: surface, flow, and fixture. In response to input representing deposition of ink on paper having a given paper texture, a blocking parameter may be determined dependent on three texture channels of the given paper texture: paper grain, pinning, and absorption. The absorption channel may control absorption behavior of the paper. A noise texture applied onto the absorption channel may simulate uneven absorption across the paper. A lattice Bolztmann based simulation may model the dispersion of ink in the flow layer, and may be dependent on the blocking parameter, and on values of parameters for controlling ink and brush properties. The ink, brush, and paper texture parameter values may be user-configurable through a graphical user interface of the graphics application. An output image may be composited from the three layers.
