Abstract: A system, an apparatus, or a method is provided for increasing media storage capacity of an image-recording material. A system, an apparatus, or a method is further provided for increasing media storage capacity and for increasing emulsion bearing surface area of an image-recording material.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are provided for capturing visual images and spatial data for providing image manipulation options such as for multi-dimensional display.

Abstract: The invention includes a system for imparting at least one characteristic of photographic emulsion to an image. The system includes a light transmissible medium at least partially provided with photographic film emulsion, wherein the photographic film emulsion is capable of being exposed and chemically processed. Furthermore, light that is related to an image is projected through a selected portion of the photographic film emulsion. Moreover, a containment is included for providing the light transmissible medium in a position relative to the projected light, wherein the image is imparted with the at least one quality related to the photographic film emulsion.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system is provided for increasing image information storage capacity within available media involving a film camera capture. The system comprises a strip of photographic emulsion bearing media having at least two surfaces, and wherein two of the at least two surfaces are provided with emulsion. A camera is provided that has a lens, wherein the camera exposes aspects of a lens gathered image on the two surfaces of the photographic emulsion bearing media, and further wherein at least light is gathered and relayed by a lens image relaying device. A processor is further provided for processing the photographic emulsion bearing media, and an imaging device is included for providing electronic image data representing image information from the photographic emulsion bearing media.

Abstract: Disclosed is a camera to provide images for use in multi-dimensional imaging. In an embodiment, the camera includes an image gathering lens operable to obtain a lens image of a visual, a plurality of optic modules operable to provide distinct focusing options for the lens image, a relaying module operable to relay at least part of the lens image to the plurality of optic modules and a plurality of capture devices operable to capture a plurality of distinct versions of the lens image from the plurality of optic modules relayed from the relaying module. In another embodiment, a multi-dimensional imaging system is provided that includes a camera, such as described above, and further includes a computing device operable to receive and display the plurality of distinct versions, and a data management module operable to receive data related to the distinct versions and to display the distinct versions on separate displays.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a media simulation system that provides at least one lens operable to optically relay a single visual scene, and a first visual medium and a second visual medium. The first imaging medium and the second imaging medium are each operable to capture and store respective images of the single visual scene. Further, the respective images stored on the first imaging medium are correlated with the respective images stored on the second imaging medium. Also provide is a data management program operable on a computing device to selectively apply aspects of the respective images stored on the first imaging medium to modify corresponding aspects of the respective images stored on the second imaging medium.

Abstract: In the context of a television commercial with one concept, storyline, and storyboard (planned visuals and audio sequencing,) a variable commercial is produced with a virtually exponential number of potentially edited versions, to accommodate the promotions of multiple entities, or brands. The brands and entities, potentially being the members of an industry cooperative, such as a guild or product-venue affiliation.

Abstract: A multimedia system and method which includes a television program, an electronic commerce catalog, an interactive Internet site and an electronic communications network linking the television program, the electronic commerce catalog and the interactive Internet site. The system and method is designed such that the users of the Internet site affect the content within the live television program, and the live television program is produced to function in tandem with the Internet site such that the content of the program determines the content of the electronic commerce catalog.

Abstract: The present invention in the preferred configuration includes a network of video monitors placed in public spaces, such are retail establishments. These monitors are provided with final image display data from a locally connected computer, or data receiving, storage, processing and relaying for display means. Each of these monitor and computer combination units, may be individually addressed from a single transmission facility, allowing for unique programming on each monitor.
