Patent number: 11856098Abstract: A mobility surrogate includes a humanoid form supporting at least one camera that captures image data from a first physical location in which the first mobility surrogate is disposed to produce an image signal and a mobility base. The mobility base includes a support mechanism, with the humanoid form affixed to the support on the mobility base and a transport module that includes mechanical drive mechanism and a transport control module including a processor and memory that are configured to receive control messages from a network and process the control messages to control the transport module according to the control messages received from the network.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Beyond Imagination Inc.Inventor: Harry Kloor

Patent number: 11810219Abstract: A virtual reality encounter system is described. A first surrogate supporting at least one first camera that captures image data from a first physical location and a second surrogate supporting at least one second camera that captures second image data from the first physical location. Aliasing substitution processing has a computing system including a processor receive the first image data and detect an image of the second surrogate in the first image data and replace the image data of the second surrogate in the first physical location, with image data of a user in the first physical location to form a transformed image that substitutes the image data of the user for the image data of the second surrogate.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Beyond Imagination Inc.Inventor: Raymond C. Kurzweil
