  • Patent number: 11930290
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, from each of at least two cameras, video from a vantage point of an event; generating an immersive video stream from the video captured by the at least two cameras; producing a transport video stream by combining the immersive video stream with a production camera video stream, wherein the transport stream is available for user consumption and providing, to a display device, a streamed production to a user, wherein the streamed production comprises the immersive video stream and the production camera video stream, the streamed production comprising an overlay window comprising at least one of the immersive video stream and the production camera video stream and a primary view comprising at least one of the immersive video stream and the production camera video stream.

  • Publication number: 20220351582
    Abstract: Described is a system and method for ephemeral betting within a panoramic video environment. A panoramic video environment is defined as a virtual experience, viewed on an information handling device (e.g., personal computers, mobile devices, virtual reality headsets, smart televisions, etc.) where the user views a panorama from a first person perspective relative to the camera capturing the video. The “view” may be a two-dimensional “portal” into the panoramic environment, or a stereoscopic view. The user will typically have directional control in the view portal, including the ability to pan, tilt, and zoom from the perspective of the camera. The described system and method creates wagering opportunities by combining the experience of viewing an event, simultaneously with other spectators, with real-time analytics and statistics derived from an object tracking system, thereby providing ephemeral wagering opportunities.

  • Patent number: 11490129
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining, from each of two more panoramic cameras, panoramic video, wherein each of the two or more panoramic cameras are located at different physical locations within an event environment; compositing the panoramic video obtained from the two or more panoramic cameras into a single video; and streaming the composited panoramic video to one or more end users, wherein each of the one or more end users provide commands to manipulate the streamed composited panoramic video resulting in viewing of a different view of the streamed composited panoramic video for the corresponding end user based on the provided commands.

  • Patent number: 10094903
    Abstract: Methods and systems for real-time object tracking and data aggregation in panoramic video are disclosed. An example system provides a panoramic video camera that produces panoramic video data of an area; a plurality of radio frequency tags producing tracking data; and at least one of the radio frequency tags being co-located with the panoramic video camera, producing tracking data for the panoramic video camera; at least another of the radio frequency tags being co-located with at least one object within the area, producing tracking data for the at least one object; a computing device, wherein the computing device receives the panoramic video data and further receives the tracking data from the plurality of radio frequency tags; the computing device generating a video stream by augmenting the panoramic video data with the tracking data; the computing device sending the video stream to at least one remote system. Other methods and systems are disclosed.
