  • Publication number: 20260311294
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for an experiential media adaptation platform. An embodiment operates by leveraging artificial intelligence and guided generation to adapt cinematic media, for example, rectilinear content, into experiential media, for example, spherical content. An embodiment operates by providing functionality for generating inferred object content. An embodiment also operates by providing functionality for generating guidance images. An embodiment also operates by providing functionality for generating one or more temporal extension videos. An embodiment further operates by providing functionality for upscaling an experiential media. As such, the experiential media adaptation platform may provide more efficient and faithful adaptations compared to conventional systems.

  • Patent number: 10565802
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to collaborative multi-modal mixed-reality systems and methods leveraging reconfigurable tangible user interfaces for the production of immersive, cinematic, and interactive content. As described herein, content may be created as either a mixture of live action media and computer generated media, combined together in context; or content made up entirely from computer-generated media alone. The technology described herein may leverage physical and software-based user interfaces that merge and unite the physical world and the virtual world, which allow users to produce new forms of content with a user experience and user interactions that emulate traditional processes.
