Patent number: 9832583Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer readable media for steering a camera and enhancing audio captured by microphones at unspecified positions. In a particular embodiment, a method provides receiving audio captured by the plurality of microphones at a location and receiving video captured of a scene that includes the plurality of microphones captured by a first camera at a first camera position. The method further provides identifying the plurality of microphones in the scene and determining physical positions of the plurality of microphones at the location relative to the first camera position. The method then provides adjusting the audio based on the physical positions of the plurality of microphones.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Azaria Cohen, Tamar Barzuza

Patent number: 9524588Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for facilitating enhanced visual communication between remote participants. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, during a conference session, receiving first video captured of a first participant remote to a physical meeting location. The method further provides determining a first position for the first participant in the physical meeting location and determining a view of an Augmented Reality (AR) head mounted display worn by a second participant at the physical meeting location. From the first video, the method provides generating AR video that makes the first participant appear to the second participant at the first position when viewed through the AR head mounted display. The method also includes transferring the AR video to the AR head mounted display for presentation to the second participant.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Tamar Barzuza, Yair Wiener, Ori Modai, Azaria Cohen
