Abstract: A rear projection imaging system with an image warping distortion correction system using a camera and processing unit to generate a warping map that corrects for image distortion. The warping map is generated in an iterative process by displaying a known pattern on a viewing screen and, through the use of a camera, having a microprocessor determine the location and shape of the pattern on the screen. The microprocessor then compares the displayed image to the original reference image, calculates the distortion effects present in the projection optics, and generates a warping map.

Abstract: A LCoS projection display system using two LCoS chips and software or firmware to control the chips so that any defects in the first chip that result in incorrectly displayed pixels are corrected by production of compensating illumination provided by the second LCoS chip.

Abstract: A system for supplying streaming media or other media sources to clients, said system providing for selection of internet based audio content providers based on arbitrarily assigned numbers that function as proxies for the URL or IP address of the audio content providers.

Abstract: The multi-person stereo display system permits several independent viewers to see different stereo images on a single projection surface. This is accomplished through the innovative use of video multiplexing, software, control electronics, and special viewing glasses. The system is particularly useful in situations where the viewers see computer generated images from their own independent perspectives.

Abstract: An system for receiving streaming audio or other audio sources netcast in streaming audio content, where the system avoids dead air time in the audio play by providing an alternative audio content to fill time spent negotiating connections and buffering information.

Abstract: A playlist creation system which uses playlists from broadcasting radio stations and other information to create a new custom playlist which uses songs available to a user's device. The new custom playlist recreates the musical mood of the radio station on which the playlist was based biased by user specific preferences.

Abstract: A compliant structure which includes a means for sensing translation and rotation of a top plate is disclosed. The structure is composed of a base plate and three supporting legs. The legs are compliant. The deflections of the structure are substantially in a plane and the translation and twist of the top platform may be measured by the gimbaled sensor assembly attached to one of the legs.

Abstract: A computer system and computer-implemented method for rendering images in real-time with a three-dimensional appearance. Using a database including at least one pair of texture maps uses as a stereo pair behind a portal to simulate a scene. An input database can be processed to generate a processed database by performing texture mapping to replace at least one portion of the input data representing a view (or object) by data indicative of a pair of texture maps and an associated polygon or polygons. One of the texture maps represents the view (object) from a left-eye viewpoint; the other represents the view (object) from a right-eye viewpoint. In some embodiments, to generate the texture map pairs, the input database analyzed to produce the images. In other embodiments the images are from photographs or other sources.

Abstract: A projection display system for use with a computer system. Used for immersive visualization and interaction tasks, the projection surface may be adjusted by the user to one of two positions. The image on the surface is generated by a computer and displayed by a projector on the table's surface.
