  • Publication number: 20240112305
    Abstract: A method and system are described where graphics, for example, fiducials, are placed within the context of panoramic video footage such that those graphics convey meaningful and relevant information, such as first down lines, sidelines, end zone plane, three-point line, goal line, blue line, positional environmental, or biometric information. Graphics may also signify the status of event, such as whether a first down was made or whether a play was overturned. The system includes one or more cameras connected to a computer that also receives synchronized sensory data from one or more environmental or positional sensors. The fiducials may be based upon the content and context of the video, or augmented via the use of external sensors which may be aggregated by the computer, with graphics being generated and displayed on a frame-by-frame basis for the purposes of disseminating information and enhancing the live production.

  • Patent number: 11930290
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, from each of at least two cameras, video from a vantage point of an event; generating an immersive video stream from the video captured by the at least two cameras; producing a transport video stream by combining the immersive video stream with a production camera video stream, wherein the transport stream is available for user consumption and providing, to a display device, a streamed production to a user, wherein the streamed production comprises the immersive video stream and the production camera video stream, the streamed production comprising an overlay window comprising at least one of the immersive video stream and the production camera video stream and a primary view comprising at least one of the immersive video stream and the production camera video stream.

  • Publication number: 20070148410
    Abstract: The present application is directed to textured surfaces and methods for forming textured surfaces. The textured surfaces of the present application comprise a conformable film, which conforms to a texture pattern. In certain embodiments, the texture pattern comprises inks having a desired thickness. The methods of the present application may be used to form textured surfaces for a variety of applications, including, for example, aircraft having at least one interior panel with a textured surface.

  • Publication number: 20070031645
    Abstract: A decorative printed decorative laminate for forming an interior surface within a mobile platform or fixed structure. The printed decorative laminate is adapted to be formed through roll processing, and includes a first film layer. An ink layer disposed adjacent to the first film layer. A second film layer is disposed adjacent to the ink layer, and an adhesive layer is disposed on a surface of the second film layer. The adhesive layer secures the first film layer to the second film layer. The adhesive layer can be a pressure sensitive adhesive, a heat-activated adhesive, a thermoset adhesive or combinations thereof for adhering the film layers together during the roll-forming operation. The present invention thus improves the efficiency and reduces the cost of forming a decorative printed decorative laminate by avoiding the batch operations and use of various chemicals typically employed to form multi-layer decorative panels.

  • Publication number: 20060280917
    Abstract: A laminate is provided for forming an aesthetically pleasing fire worthy exterior surface on an object, for example a decorative interior sidewall used in a commercial aircraft. A first film layer forms an exterior surface of the sidewall, and an ink layer is disposed adjacent to the first film layer to provide color and/or images in an aesthetically pleasing manor, and to protect the subsequent layer from damaging UV light exposure. An embossing resin layer is disposed adjacent to the ink layer to improve the fire worthiness of the laminate by being situated adjacent to the exterior surface of the laminate. A second film layer is disposed adjacent to the embossing resin layer and a surface of the sidewall. The location of the embossing resin layer enhances the fire worthiness of the laminate by operating to absorb thermal energy released by the sidewall in the event the sidewall is exposed to fire or to a high temperature sufficient to otherwise cause higher thermal energy release of a conventional laminate.

  • Publication number: 20060277807
    Abstract: A laminate panel is provided for forming an aesthetically pleasing fire worthy exterior surface on an object; for example, a decorative interior panel used in a commercial aircraft. A first film layer forms an exterior surface of the panel, and an embossing resin layer is disposed adjacent to the first film layer. A second film layer is disposed adjacent to the embossing resin layer. The second film layer is impregnated with at least one heat sink material to enhance the fire worthiness of the laminate panel by operating to absorb thermal energy released by the panel in the event the panel is exposed to fire or to a high temperature sufficient to otherwise cause combustion of a conventional laminate panel. Accordingly, the laminate panels serve to provide an aesthetically pleasing surface on the associated object and also act as a mechanism to increase the fire worthiness of the associated object.
