Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method retrieves mask information for creating a visual effect in a three-dimensional (3D) video. The mask information includes an outline of an object. The video is stored in a first buffer. The mask information is processed in a second buffer to create a mesh that extrudes from the outline of the object. The mesh includes values that describe a shading of the mesh and the mesh being formed around the outline of the object. The method then adjusts the values of the mesh in the second buffer to minimize discontinuities in gradients created in the mesh. When a time to display the visual effect is reached in the video, the method renders the mesh from the second buffer with video from the first buffer to form the visual effect around the object to indicate that an interaction with the object is available in the video.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n retrieving, by a computing device, mask information for creating a visual effect in a three-dimensional (3D) video, the mask information including an outline of an object in the 3D video; receiving, by the computing device, the 3D video from a server and storing the 3D video in a first buffer; processing, by the computing device, the mask information in a second buffer to create a mesh that extrudes from the outline of the object, the mesh associated with a plurality of values that describes a shading of the mesh and the mesh being formed around the outline of the object; adjusting, by the computing device, the plurality of values of the mesh in the second buffer to minimize discontinuities in gradients created in the mesh; and when a time to display the visual effect is reached in the 3D video, rendering the mesh from the second buffer with 3D video from the first buffer to form the visual effect around the object to represent an interaction with the object is available in the 3D video.
