Abstract: Computer-readable media and computerized methods for utilizing an awareness of video content within a media file to incorporate an advertisement therein are provided. Building the video-content awareness involves performing an offline authoring process to generate a trajectory. In particular, the offline authoring process includes targeting an object appearing in the video content, tracking movement of the object over a sequence of frames within the media file, and, based on the tracked movement, writing locations of the object to the trajectory. In an online rendering process, invoked upon initiating play of the media file, the advertisement is automatically selected and dynamically placed on top of the video content as a function of the locations within the trajectory. Accordingly, by repositioning the advertisement (typically an animation) within the video content based on the movement of the object, an illusion that the advertisement visually interacts with the object is generated.

Abstract: An omnidirectional-view three-dimensional display apparatus comprises a high-frame-rate projector (21), a rotatable reflector device and a cylindrical transmissive selective-diffusing screen (24). The optical axis of the high-frame-rate projector (21) is coincident with the rotating axis of the reflector device and the axis of the cylindrical selective-diffusing screen (24). The images projected by the high-frame-rate projector (21) are reflected by the reflector device to form images on the cylindrical transmissive selective-diffusing screen (24). The cylindrical transmissive selective-diffusing screen (24) can control the diffusing angle of the emergence ray, so that the left eye and the right eye of an observer can see a three-dimensional object's images in different view angles to achieve an omnidirectional-view three-dimensional display.

Abstract: This invention discloses a multi-pitching angle suspended space 3D display device with 360° FOV, comprising: a transmitted composite deflective diffusing screen, a high speed projector, an image generator, a detecting module and a rotating drive mechanism. The high speed projector projects the composite images of the 3D objects of different pitching angles and horizontal 360° views to the composite deflective diffusing screen that rotates at a high speed. The composite deflective diffusing screen is able to control the vertical deflecting and scattering angles and horizontal diffusing angle for incident rays with different angles, allowing the surrounding viewers at different height levels to see the images corresponding to their viewpoints, making the displayed 3D objects suspended over the composite deflecting scattering screen, of which the position does not change as the height of the viewpoint changes.
