Room cloud environment for conferencing
A room conferencing system includes a hub with a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node including a sensor node camera and a sensor node processor. A master controller is operable to establish a plurality of named queues, each of the named queues associated with a proximate physical object in an area comprising the hub and detectable by the sensor node camera. Each sensor node operable to cause the sensor node processor to identify a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera, and associate the viewed physical object with one of the named queues.
1. A room conferencing system, comprising:
a hub comprising a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node comprising a sensor node camera and a sensor node processor;
a master controller operable to establish a plurality of named queues, each of the plurality of named queues associated with a proximate physical object in an area comprising the hub and detectable by the sensor node camera; and
each sensor node operable to cause the sensor node processor to:
identify a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera; and
associate the viewed physical object with one of the plurality of named queues.
2. The room conferencing system of claim 1 , further comprising:
the master controller operable to establish a master queue comprising a description of the proximate physical object.
3. The room conferencing system of claim 1 , further comprising:
the plurality of sensor nodes arranged in a plurality of rings around a perimeter of the hub.
4. The room conferencing system of claim 3 , further comprising:
the plurality of rings each comprising exactly four sensor nodes.
5. The room conferencing system of claim 3 , further comprising:
the plurality of rings each comprising exactly eight sensor nodes.
6. The room conferencing system of claim 3 , further comprising:
each sensor of a particular ring of the plurality of rings being both vertically and horizontally offset from sensors in a ring immediately above the particular ring.
7. The room conferencing system of claim 3 , further comprising:
each sensor of a particular ring of the plurality of rings being both vertically and horizontally offset from sensors in a ring immediately above the particular ring and sensors in a ring immediately below the particular ring.
