  • Publication number: 20230120633
    Abstract: Embodiments of the composition generation and presentation system disclosed herein connect a remote audience to a presenter on a stage (or other location) in real time. The remote audience members, called participants, connect via consumer hardware such as a laptop, desktop, tablet, or mobile device, equipped with a microphone and a web camera. The composition generation and presentation system is configured by an administrator controlled by a producer, both via corresponding user interfaces. The system takes actions based on the content of metadata (e.g., tags) associated with users. The presenter views the remote audience through the display of one or more compositions on a digital surface, such as TV, projector, or LED wall. Compositions are made up of participant streams organized into groups, patterns, or layouts, such as a grid.
