  • Publication number: 20190213960
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of in-situ display monitoring and calibration systems and methods. An image acquisition system captures images of the viewing plane of the display. Captured images may then be processed to characterize various visual performance characteristics of the display. When not in use capturing images of the display, the image acquisition system can be stored in a manner that protects it from environmental hazards such as dust, dirt, precipitation, direct sunlight, etc. A calibration image in which a plurality of light emitting elements is set to a particular color and intensity may be displayed, an image then captured, and then a difference between what was expected and what was captured may be developed for each light emitting element. Differences between captured images and expected images may be used to create a calibration data set which then may be used to adjust the display of further images upon the display.

  • Publication number: 20190124295
    Abstract: A virtual presence system includes a display having a structural matrix configured to arrange a plurality of spaced pixel elements. A plurality of spaced pixel elements collectively form an active visual area wherein an image is displayable. At least one image capture device is disposed within the active visual area for capturing an image. The system is able to sense the environment in front of the display and, in response to what is sensed, is able to change one or more attributes of a displayed image, or, is able to change the displayed image or a portion of the displayed image.
