  • Publication number: 20230342806
    Abstract: Technology is described for enabling social and virtual interaction during online sessions while the user views or interacts with content infused with interactive advertising objects. (e.g., Product placement in a bait click styled environment.) The user interacts with interactive advertising objects to collect points for later redemption of goods, services, and sponsored prizes.

  • Patent number: 9491425
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described that relate to imaging and viewing systems, devices and methods that can facilitate private viewing of images (e.g., from streaming video). A projection display device can scramble display images such that the display images are viewable by viewers using specialized devices (e.g., eyewear) that can descramble and/or decode the projected display images. The devices may include optical elements that can be modulated to descramble the images and display the images for the viewer. Some devices may also include digital cameras that electronically capture the scrambled images and unscramble the images. Various example devices may include stereoscopic cameras to enable the viewer to see a 3-dimensional image. The images may also be transmitted wirelessly to the devices to enable the viewer to see the multimedia display while on the move and/or shared with other viewers, with limited discomfort resulting from motion.

  • Patent number: 9004998
    Abstract: Technology is described for enabling social interaction during online gaming. In some examples, the technology can include receiving from a remote device a movement signal indicating an actual movement of a human sports player during a real sporting event in which the human sports player is participating; receiving from a local control device a control signal from a user, wherein the control signal indicates input to a simulation; comparing the received movement signal with the received control signal; computing based on the comparison a score to award to the user; and awarding the computed score to the user.
