  • Patent number: 8913790
    Abstract: A system and method are provided that use point of gaze information to determine what portions of 3D media content are actually being viewed to enable a 3D media content viewing experience to be improved. Tracking eye movements of viewers to obtain such point of gaze information are used to control characteristics of the 3D media content during consumption of that media, and/or to improve or otherwise adjust or refine the 3D media content during creation thereof by a media content provider. Outputs may be generated to illustrate what in the 3D media content was viewed at incorrect depths. Such outputs may then be used in subsequent or offline analysis, e.g., by editors for media content providers when generating the 3D media itself, in order to gauge the 3D effects. A quality metric can be computed based on the point of gaze information, which can be used to analyze the interactions between viewers and the 3D media content being displayed.

  • Publication number: 20140349566
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method of converting a single zone HVAC system to a multi-zoned HVAC system. More specifically, the present application discloses coupling at least one interface module to at least one controller of a heating unit, cooling unit, and blower assembly. Further, at least one thermostat may be positioned within each desired zone of a multi-zoned structure. The user may then position at least one register on at least one terminus of a duct within each zone. Thereafter, each thermostat within each zone is associated or linked via a communication channel or network with at least one register within the same zone, thereby forming at least one thermostat/register regime within each zone of a structure. The interface module may then be associated with the various thermostat/register regimes.
