  • Patent number: 11838518
    Abstract: Improved video compression and video streaming systems and methods are disclosed for environments where camera motion is common, such as cameras incorporated into head-mounted displays. This is accomplished by combining a 3D representation of the shape of the user's environment (walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, etc.), image data, and data representative of changes in the location and orientation (pose) of the camera between successive image frames, thereby reducing data bandwidth needed to send streaming video in the presence of camera motion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10792564
    Abstract: Techniques for coordination of content presentation operations are described herein. In some cases, a client may generate client metadata associated with client event data. The client metadata may include, for example, an indication of any one or more of a time, a frame, a location, an angle, a direction, a speed, a force, or other information associated with the client event data. Also, in some cases, the content provider may generate content provider metadata associated with image data. For example, the content provider metadata may indicate a location of a virtual camera associated with the respective image data and/or a location of one or more objects represented within the respective image data.

  • Patent number: 8077888
    Abstract: For use with an interactive display system having a generally horizontal interactive display surface, four speakers that are disposed at spaced-apart locations within a housing of the system so that a sound field produced by one or more energized speakers is directed outwardly as desired. A personal computer (PC) selectively energizes one or more of the speakers in accord with a predefined criteria so that a direction of the sound field produced is generally consistent with the disposition of a user, or a state of a software application, or a disposition of a virtual object on the interactive display surface. In one embodiment, each of the speakers is mounted in a different side or end of the interactive display system. In another embodiment, the speakers are mounted at the corners of the housing. One or more of the speakers are energized at a time to produce the desired sound field.
