Abstract: Preferred embodiments are directed to systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional scene based on a user's perspective by mapping a three-dimensional space, including demarcating an axis at its origin at a surface of a display device, one side of the axis being mapped onto a physical space; receiving point cloud data from the physical space, the point cloud data indicating positions of objects in the physical space; determining the position of captured data points; computing a likely shape for each of the objects based on the captured data points; comparing the likely shape of the target objects to pre-defined parameters with pre-set values; assigning the values of the pre-defined parameters to the target objects; calculating a frustum based on the designated objects; and displaying a perspective of a three-dimensional virtual scene, the perspective being determined from the calculated frustum.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for multimedia multipoint real-time conferencing that includes a communication module to receive a request to share media content in a virtual room setting. The content may include an audio, a video, a text, or a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code referencing a third-party resource. The system may further include a content encoder at the host website to create a data packet encapsulating the transport characteristics and the routing requirements and a multipoint router to share the content via the transport protocol in the real-time group conference associated with the users of the virtual room.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for multimedia multipoint real-time conferencing that includes a communication module to receive via a transport protocol, from a client embedded in a host website (such as a social networking website, a blog, or a dating website), a request to share media content in a real-time group conference associated with users of a virtual room. The content may include an audio, a video, a text, or a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code referencing a third-party resource. The request may be associated with routing requirements and transport characteristics. The system may further include a content encoder at the host website to create a data packet encapsulating the transport characteristics and the routing requirements. The system may further include a multipoint router to share the content via the transport protocol in the real-time group conference associated with the users of the virtual room. The shared content may include implicit and explicit recommendations.

Abstract: A system for sending and receiving multimedia transmissions over a network includes two or more clients and a server. Each client is connected to the network and generates and receives audio and video data via the network. The server receives the audio and video data from the clients and sends the audio and video data to the clients. During the transmission of the audio and video data, the client and server dynamically determine the rate at which to transmit the audio and video data.
