  • Publication number: 20170278140
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image simulation device for managing a live event comprising an image capturing device for capturing live captured data corresponding to a presenter and generating, in real-time, hologram data based on the live captured data. An output interface for broadcasting the hologram data in real-time to at least one additional location containing an audience, wherein the hologram data is used to create a hologram of the presenter at the at least one additional location based on an apparent parallax effect in a simulated three-dimensional display device, the hologram creating a three-dimensional illusion for the audience regarding actual presence of the presenter at the at least one additional location. Furthermore, an input interface for receiving audience data from the at least one additional location regarding interaction between the hologram and the audience and a display device for displaying images based on audience data to the presenter.

  • Publication number: 20160203744
    Abstract: A low profile, simulated 3D display device comprising a front display device comprising a transparent front display device, arranged to display a first image of a first program material which is to be observed by a viewer, and a background display device arranged to display a second image of a second program material which is to be observed by a viewer, wherein said front display device and said background display device are separated to provide an apparent parallax effect between said first image and said second image, and wherein said background display device is a high-brightness video display device. The simulated 3D display device also optionally includes a moire artifact reduction screen to improve the quality of the simulated 3D image.

  • Publication number: 20160165221
    Abstract: A display apparatus for displaying simulated 3D images is provided which is preferably portable and scalable in size, and comprises a front display device having side edges, arranged to project a first image of a first program material towards a viewer, and a background display device having side edges, arranged to project a second image of a second program material towards a viewer, wherein said front display device and said background display device are separated to provide an apparent parallax effect between said first image and said second image, and wherein said background display device extends beyond the side edges of the front projection device. The display device provides a parallax effect which can extend to the edges of the front display device.

  • Publication number: 20020193105
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for handling a base transceiver station that has become orphaned as a result of a loss of a base station controller. The method includes determining that contact has been lost between a base transceiver station and a primary base station controller that normally controls the base transceiver station, identifying a secondary base station controller to adopt the base transceiver station, and effecting a handover of the base transceiver station from the primary base station controller to the secondary base station controller. The invention ensures that an operator can maintain some level of service to its customers even if it has lost a base station controller, including the ability to handle emergency calls.
