Unsupervised Extraction of Shared Group Correspondences in Video Game for Highlighting User-Generated Content in Game

A method comprising:

• generating, from a video, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of space comprising Gaussians representing objects in the video;
• inserting into the 3D representation of space a user-input content;
• highlighting a portion of the user-input content according to group correspondences related to the video;
• setting opacity of Gaussians in the 3D representation of space to zero such that Gaussians representing objects in the video are transparent and only one or more portions of the user-input content are not transparent;
• and
• combining the 3D representation of space with the video.

A device, comprising:

• computer memory not a transitory signal, the computer memory comprising instructions executable by at least one processor system to:
• create, from a video, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of space, the 3D representation of space comprising volumetric representations of objects in the video;
• receive user-input content into the 3D representation of space;
• alter an appearance of the user-input content according to group correspondences;
• make the volumetric representations transparent;
• and
• combine the 3D representation of space with the video such that the user-input content appears with the video but the volumetric representations do not.
