  • Patent number: 10885079
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing voice-activated events management. An embodiment operates by receiving an audio-formatted query through an application associated with an event. A first user ID, registered with the event, is determined to be associated with the mobile device. It is determined whether the query is an event query or a user query based on one or more keywords. Based on the determination that the query is either the event query or the user query, the answer to the event query is determined from data retrieved over a network, or the answer to the user query is determined from the locally stored data at the mobile device. The determined answer to the query is provided via the application operating on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 7012669
    Abstract: A panoramic display system includes a curved projection screen, a panoramic projector, and a substantially conically shaped barrier. The projector is configured to project an image onto the projection screen from a projection point located substantially above the projection screen. The conical barrier has a base disposed toward the bottom of the projection screen, and an apex region disposed toward the projection point. The barrier blocks scattered light from reflecting from portions of the curved screen to other portions thereof.

  • Patent number: 6871958
    Abstract: A wide angle display system includes a linear array projector, a curved display surface, and a two-sided, substantially planar scanning mirror. The projector is configured to project an image along an optical axis to the scanning mirror. The scanning mirror continuously rotates about an axis substantially in the plane of the mirror, so as to reflect and scan the image onto the display surface.
