  • Patent number: 11539935
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may receive, from a second computing system, video streams of a scene, the video streams including at least a first image and a second image that are simultaneously captured by a first camera and a second camera of the second computing system, respectively. The system may determine, using a sensor system, a viewpoint of a viewer with respect to a display region of a monoscopic display associated with the first computing system. The system may generate an output image of the scene by blending, according to blending proportions computed using the viewpoint of the viewer, corresponding portions of the first image and the second image. The system may display the output image in the display region of the monoscopic display.

  • Publication number: 20220375124
    Abstract: A method for using a virtual camera location to display image data to one device from another device associated with a plurality of cameras. The method includes receiving image data from a plurality of cameras associated with a second user device associated with a second user. The method further includes establishing a virtual camera location different from positions of the plurality of cameras. The method further includes providing an image using the image data on a first user display of a first user device based at least on a viewpoint of the virtual camera location.

  • Patent number: 8204299
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates capturing a portion 2-dimensional (2D) data for implementation within a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual environment. A device that can capture one or more 2D images, wherein the 2D image is representative of a corporeal object from a perspective dictated by an orientation of the device. The device can comprise a content aggregator that can construct a 3D image from two or more 2D images collected by the device, in which the construction is based at least in part upon aligning each corresponding perspective associated with each 2D image.

  • Publication number: 20090307618
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with a portion of data that includes pyramidal volumes of data. A portion of image data can represent a computer displayable multi-scale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, wherein the multi-scale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume. An annotation component can determine a set of annotations associated with at least one of the two substantially parallel planes of view. A display engine can display at least a subset of the set of annotations on the multi-scale image based upon navigation to the parallel plane of view associated with the set of annotations.

  • Publication number: 20090157503
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate advertising models in connection with pyramidal volumes of advertising space. In particular, a pixel at one plane of view of an image can be associated with four pixels at a lower plane of view and so on. Advertising rights with respect to the pixel can be offered for sale, which can include all, a subset, or a different set of advertising rights with respect to other pixels in the pyramidal volume. The architecture can construct the data for the image dynamically based upon contextual input and the advertising rights as well as image format can be constructed based upon notions of zoning.
