    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to encoding recorded content for distribution to other computing devices. In various embodiments, a first computing device records content of a physical environment in which the first computing device is located, the content being deliverable to a second computing device configured to present a corresponding environment based on the recorded content and content recorded by one or more additional computing devices. The first computing device determines a pose of the first computing device within the physical environment and encodes the pose in a manifest usable to stream the content recorded by the first computing device to the second computing device. The encoded pose is usable by the second computing device to determine whether to stream the content recorded by the first computing device.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of accessing shared data among processes is performed by a device including processor(s), non-transitory memory, and an image acquisition interface. The method includes obtaining image data acquired by the image acquisition interface. The method further includes determining pose data based at least in part on inertial measurement unit (IMU) information measured by the image acquisition interface. The method also includes determining a gaze estimation based at least in part on eye tracking information obtained through the image acquisition interface. Based at least in part on characteristics of processes, the method includes determining an arrangement for the image data, the pose data, and the gaze estimation. The method additionally includes determining an access schedule for the processes based at least in part on at least one of: the arrangement, the characteristics of the processes, and hardware timing parameters associated with the device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for gaze-driven recording of video are described. Some implementations may include accessing gaze data captured using one or more gaze-tracking sensors; applying a temporal filter to the gaze data to obtain a smoothed gaze estimate; determining a region of interest based on the smoothed gaze estimate, wherein the region of interest identifies a subset of a field of view; accessing a frame of video; recording a portion of the frame associated with the region of interest as an enhanced frame of video, wherein the portion of the frame corresponds to a smaller field of view than the frame; and storing, transmitting, or displaying the enhanced frame of video.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to encoding recorded content for distribution to other computing devices. In some embodiments, a first computing device creates recorded content for transmission to a second computing device configured to present the recorded content. To encode the recorded content, the first computing device detects, via a network interface of the first computing device, one or more computing nodes available to encode the recorded content in one or more formats supported by the second computing device. The first computing device offloads the recorded content via the network interface to the one or more computing nodes for encoding in the one or more formats. In some embodiments, the second computing device receives a request from a user to stream content recorded by a first computing device and requests the content in a first format being encoded by a computing node assisting the first computing device.

    Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide determining an operating mode of an electronic device based at least in part on whether the electronic device is communicatively coupled to an associated base device. Based on the determined operating mode, the subject technology identifies a set of input modalities for initiating a recording of content within a field of view of the electronic device. The subject technology monitors sensor information generated by at least one sensor included in, or communicatively coupled to, the electronic device. Further, the subject technology initiates the recording of content within the field of view of the electronic device when the monitored sensor information indicates that at least one of the identified set of input modalities has been triggered.
