Abstract

The present invention enhances the player's gameplay visual, feedback and other experiences by taking advantage of optical adapters, feedback mechanics, advancements in theatrical audio, frame rate throttle, meta-file object framework for storage and retrieval, calibration advancements, vocal command enhancements, voice object lookups, facial/body scan, color/clothing coordination, party or celebration capabilities, noise cancellation, interactive object placement, heart rate monitor, pan-tilt-zoom camera advances, cooperative gameplay advances and programming advancements.

Claims (51)

1. A method of producing a content data projection, the method comprising:

receiving by a model generation component an indicator of a display type;

selecting by the model generation component based on the indicator, a multi-facet game process option from a single facet game process option and a multi-facet game process option;

generating image frames for the content data projection by the multi-facet game process option;

passing the image frames to a projector;

transmitting light and image data corresponding to the image frames from the projector through a lens adapter fitted onto the projector;

transmitting the light and image data from the lens adapter onto a plurality of facets connected to the lens adapter; and

projecting the content data from the plurality of facets onto a receiving screen at a plurality of angles to display content data viewable by a user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the light and image data through the lens adapter comprises transmitting the light and image data through an optical lens.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the light and image data onto the plurality of facets comprises transmitting the light and image data onto eight facets.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the light and image data onto the plurality of facets comprises transmitting the light and image data onto facets constructed of at least one of glass, mirrors, plastic and metal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the projecting the content data onto a receiving screen at a plurality of angles to display content data viewable by a user comprises projecting the content data onto a plurality of viewing display devices which together produce a viewing angle arc extending between 120 degrees and 180 degrees.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the projected display content comprises video game images displayed to a user actively playing a video game.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving feedback from the user via the user's game playing motions; and

changing the display content data based on the feedback.

8. An apparatus configured to produce a content data projection, the apparatus comprising:

a model generation component configured to:

receive an indicator of a display type;

select, based on the indicator, a multi-facet game process option from a single facet game process option and a multi-facet game process option;

generate image frames for the content data projection by the multi-facet game process option; and

pass the image frames projector;

a projector configured to project a video signal;

a projector video adapter lens connected to the projector comprising

a lens connector fitted onto the projector,

and lens filter,

an upper facet set comprising a plurality of upper facets, and

a lower facet set comprising a plurality of lower facets, wherein the upper facet and the lower facet are configured to emit the video signal;

wherein the projector is configured to transmit light and image data corresponding to the image frames through the lens adapter, and transmit the light and image data onto at least one of the upper facet set and the lower facet set and thence onto a receiving screen at a plurality of angles to display content data viewable by a user.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the lens adapter comprises an optical lens.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the lower facet set and the upper facet set together include eight facets.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the lower facet set and the upper facet set are constructed of at least one of glass, mirrors, plastic and metal.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the projector produces a viewing angle arc extending between 120 degrees and 180 degrees.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the projected display content comprises video game images displayed to a user actively playing the video game.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising:

a receiver configured to receive feedback from the user via the user's game playing motions, and change the display content data based on the feedback.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

receiving an indicator of a display type;

selecting, based on the indicator, a multi-facet game process option from a single facet game process option and a multi-facet game process option;

generating image frames for the content data projection by the multi-facet game process option;

passing the image frames to a projector;

transmitting light and image data corresponding to the image frames through a lens adapter fitted onto the projector;

transmitting the light and image data from the lens adapter onto a plurality of facets connected to the lens adapter; and

projecting the content data from the plurality of facets onto a receiving screen at a plurality of angles to display content data viewable by a user.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the light and image data through the lens adapter comprises transmitting the light and image data through an optical lens.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the light and image data onto the plurality of facets comprises transmitting the light and image data onto eight facets.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein transmitting the light and image data onto the plurality of facets comprises transmitting the light and image data onto facets constructed of at least one of glass, mirrors, plastic and metal.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the projecting the content data onto a receiving screen at a plurality of angles to display content data viewable by a user comprises projecting the content data onto a plurality of viewing display devices which together produce a viewing angle arc extending between 120 degrees and 180 degrees.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

receiving feedback from the user via the user's game playing motions; and

changing the display content data based on the feedback.
