  • Publication number: 20220217297
    Abstract: Technologies for structured media playback include one or more physical media objects, which may be placed on a substrate including a matrix of position sensor tags. Each of the physical media objects is configured to sense one or more position sensor tags and transmit tag information received from the sensed position sensor tags to a compute device. The compute device determines a cast of physical media objects present on the substrate based on the received tag information and selects media for playback based on the determined cast. In some embodiments, the compute device may select the index of the media at which to initiate playback based on the determined cast or collection of physical media objects.

  • Publication number: 20220109805
    Abstract: Technologies for structured media playback include one or more physical media objects, which may be placed on a substrate including a matrix of position sensor tags. Each of the physical media objects is configured to sense one or more positon sensor tags and transmit tag information received from the sensed position sensor tags to a compute device. The compute device determines a cast of physical media objects present on the substrate based on the received tag information and selects media for playback based on the determined cast. In some embodiments, the compute device may select the index of the media at which to initiate playback based on the determined cast or collection of physical media objects.

  • Publication number: 20180190058
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for allowing multiple viewers to vote on a manner in which time-delayed content may be displayed. Alternate branches of pre-recorded content, each including alternate endings, may be displayed based on the expressed desires of a majority of viewers. The system also generates content from existing three-dimensional (3D) models of characters, and specific settings and backgrounds and 3D models generated from new images. Automatically generated content, generated from the existing 3D models or the 3D models created from the new images, may be displayed according to the expressed desires of a majority of viewers.

  • Publication number: 20180190024
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and/or methods to augment a user experience. A correlater may correlate a physical three-dimensional (3D) play space and a setting space of media content. An augmenter may augment the media content based on a change in the physical 3D play space. An augmenter may augment the physical 3D play space based on a change in the setting space.
