Patent number: 10824238Abstract: Embodiments described herein includes a system comprising a processor coupled to display devices, sensors, remote client devices, and computer applications. The computer applications orchestrate content of the remote client devices simultaneously across the display devices and the remote client devices, and allow simultaneous control of the display devices. The simultaneous control includes automatically detecting a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received via the sensors. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using only the gesture data. The computer applications translate the gesture to a gesture signal, and control the display devices in response to the gesture signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Oblong Industries, Inc.Inventors: Kwindla Hultman Kramer, John Underkoffler

Publication number: 20200241650Abstract: Embodiments described herein includes a system comprising a processor coupled to display devices, sensors, remote client devices, and computer applications. The computer applications orchestrate content of the remote client devices simultaneously across at least one of the display devices and the remote client devices, and allow simultaneous control of the display devices. The simultaneous control includes automatically detecting a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received via the sensors. The gesture data is absolute three-space location data of an instantaneous state of the at least one object at a point in time and space. The detecting comprises aggregating the gesture data, and identifying the gesture using only the gesture data. The computer applications translate the gesture to a gesture signal, and control at least one of the display devices and the remote client devices in response to the gesture signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Kwindla Hultman KRAMER, John UNDERKOFFLER, Carlton SPARRELL, Navjot SINGH, Kate HOLLENBACH, Paul YARIN

Patent number: 10509513Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking using a tracking camera. For each frame of image data generated by the tracking camera, each blob of the frame is determined. For each determined blob, a 2D image coordinate of a centroid of the blob is determined in a coordinate space of the frame. A tracking system processor generates a first tag identifier from the determined 2D image coordinates. The tracking system processor uses the first tag identifier to access stored first tag information that is stored in association with the first tag identifier. The tracking system processor determines an absolute 3-space position and orientation of the tracking camera by performing a motion tracking process using the determined 2D image coordinates and the accessed first tag information.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Oblong Industries, Inc.Inventors: Ayon Sen, John Underkoffler, Barbara Brand, Michael Chin
