Assignee: DROPBOX, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting, for a computing device, an initial visual locus point directed away from a user in an initial direction with respect to a light source fora three-dimensional virtual or augmented reality scene;
based on detecting the initial visual locus point, generating an initial view of the three-dimensional virtual or augmented reality scene utilizing a set of pixel values for a set of images of the three-dimensional virtual or augmented reality scene that are mapped to a set of three-dimensional vectors;
detecting, for the computing device, a subsequent visual locus point directed away from the user in a subsequent direction with respect to the light source for the three-dimensional virtual or augmented reality scene based on inputs from at least one of a gyroscope, a magnetometer, or an accelerometer of the computing device; and
based on detecting the subsequent visual locus point:
modifying a brightness of the set of pixel values for the set of images of the three-dimensional virtual or augmented reality scene that are mapped to the set of three-dimensional vectors, by applying a fragment shader to brighten or darken one or more pixels of the set of pixel values; and
generating a subsequent view of the three-dimensional virtual or augmented reality scene according to the modified brightness of the set of pixel values.
