Abstract
Techniques are described for virtual representation creation and display. Processing circuitry may identify substantially transparent pixels in a virtual hairstyle, identify a first set of pixels that are away from the identified substantially transparent pixels, increase an opacity level for a second set of pixels that excludes the first set of pixels by a first amount, and generate the virtual hairstyle based on the first set of pixels and the second set of pixels having the increased opacity level. With the generated virtual hairstyle, processing circuitry of a personal computing device may blend, in a first pass, one or more pixels of the version of the generated virtual hairstyle having an opacity level greater than or equal to a threshold opacity level, and blend, in a second pass, one or more pixels of the version of the generated virtual hairstyle having an opacity level less than the threshold opacity level.
