    Abstract: Method for acquiring and analysing the fine motor skills of an individual. Presenting a course on a medium and inviting the individual to make a free movement with at least one finger and/or one accessory on the medium, this movement being linked to the course. Recording a period of time taken to complete at least part of the course. Recording successive positions of the finger and/or the accessory during the completion of at least a part of the course. Analysing the recordings in order to generate at least one random variable describing successive positions according to a predefined statistical model. Generating a score representative of the fine motor skills, based on at least the period of time taken to complete at least part of the course and a statistical measurement of the random variable, characteristic of a quantity of information, disorder or chaos in the recording of the successive positions.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for rendering portions of a three-dimensional environment at different sampling rates based on a focus frame within a graphical user interface. Specifically, the disclosed system provides a tool for marking a region of a graphical user interface displaying a three-dimensional environment. The disclosed system generates a focus frame based on the marked region of the graphical user interface and attaches the focus frame to a portion of the three-dimensional environment. The disclosed system assigns a first sampling rate to the portion of the three-dimensional environment displayed within the focus frame and a second sampling rate to portions of the three-dimensional environment outside the focus frame. The disclosed system renders the three-dimensional environment by sampling the portion within the focus frame at the first sampling rate and the portions outside the focus frame at the second sampling rate.
