Abstract: A recording and security system to record 360-degree video and other data. The system includes one ore move video cameras to record a 360-degree video of the viewable area around the one or more video cameras. The system further includes a control box and a local or remote data storage system. The one or more video cameras may be communicatively coupled to the control box where the control box may locally store the recordings or transmit the recordings to the remote data storage system.

Abstract: An augmented reality-based advertising system to overlay animated objects, such as animated images and/or video onto a product and/or product label. The advertising system may include an object database and a mobile device. In practice, a customer in a retail store uses their mobile device's camera to scan a product and/or product label. If the image from the scan matches an image found in the object database, the customer, on the screen on their mobile device, will see an animated object overlaid on the product and/or product label.

Abstract: A camera holding assembly that is configured to hold a plurality of cameras in a predetermined orientation includes a support having a plurality of receptacles. Each of the receptacles include at least one feature enabling a camera to be releasably retained therein as well as at least one and preferably at least three attachment features configured for enabling the camera holding assembly to be secured to another object. The receptacles are oriented about the support so that each camera, when loaded into the defined receptacles, is aimed in a different angular orientation. Images obtained from each retained camera can be stitched to create either a composite 360 degree×180 degree full spherical image or a composite 360 degree composite image of a scene of interest.
