  • Publication number: 20210203908
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for rendering a contiguous virtual space for a plurality of display devices. An embodiment operates by identifying a projection of a virtual camera onto a virtual plane and determining a display plane area based on an intersection of the projection of the virtual camera onto the virtual plane. Thereafter, a position for a plurality of virtual windows correlating to a plurality of real-world display devices on the display plane area is calculated based on (i) properties of the display devices and (ii) a focal length of the virtual camera. After placing the virtual windows their respective display plane area positions, content behind a virtual window is identified and provided to the corresponding real-world display device.

  • Patent number: 11023729
    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments for providing visual guidance on presenting visual content on a media surface of a venue. The visual content can be mapped onto a media surface of the venue and a key feature unique to the visual content and/or the media surface being extracted. An experiment metric corresponding to the visual content and the media surface can be retrieved, a viewer location metric and a media surface metric based on the experiment metric and the key feature can be determined. The viewer location metric and the media surface metric correspond to the attribute, which is utilized to provide a viewer location heat map of the attribute to a user.

  • Publication number: 20210120358
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for replicating a remote venue in a local venue. An embodiment operates by receiving original audio. Thereafter, the original stream of audio is modified to produce modified audio based on an audio profile unique to a remote venue smaller than the local venue. The audio profile comprises a virtual representation of the remote venue including (i) a virtual audio source corresponding to the local venue's audio source and configured to produce the original audio and (ii) a virtual reverberation point corresponding to a real-world location in the remote venue and the portion of the local venue. As such, the modified audio is determined based on receipt of the original audio from the reverberation point. Thus, after correlating the modified audio to the local venue's audio source, the modified audio is provided by the audio source to the portion of the local venue.

  • Publication number: 20210120356
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for accurately mapping audio to a visual image on a display device. An embodiment operates by, based on an identified virtual representation of the remote venue, modifying audio received at a local venue to produce a first and second modified audio. Thereafter, the first and second modified audio is correlated to a first and second portion of a prestored image. Afterward, the first and second portion of the prestored image is presented on a first and second portion of the display device's curved screen, and the first and second modified audio is provided on a first and second audio device, respectively, such that the first and second modified audio is provided to the first and second regions of the local venue synchronously with the first and second portions of audio.

  • Publication number: 20170215657
    Abstract: A character-shaped porous mitt for housing and dispensing soap comprised of an outer body formed from terry cloth or similar material and a sponge-like material lining an interior cavity containing a soap pocket in which to hold bar or liquid soap that is fastened using a hook-and-loop fastener. An area at the mouth, the body or the rear of the mitt through which the bar of soap or the liquid soap can be received and housed until the soap mixes with water to produce a rich lather with which to cleanse a user's body. Finger pockets or loops are configured to receive the fingers of a user to allow the user to securely hold the mitt, even in the presence of rich lather. A rough-textured portion of the outer body provides added friction between the outer body and skin of a user to allow the user to scrub or exfoliate his or her skin.
