Abstract

A communication device includes a processor; a cellular transceiver coupled to the processor; an imager with multiple lens and multiple sensors therein to capture a 360 degree video; a plurality of graphic processing units to combine outputs from the sensors to form the 360 degree video, the processor and the graphic processing units operating to keep heat below a predetermined range; and a heat pipe coupled to the processor and the graphic processing units.

Claims (25)

1. A communication device, comprising:

a facial wearable housing including:

a processor;

a cellular transceiver coupled to the processor;

imagers positioned on the wearable housing with multiple lens and sensors therein to capture a 360 degree video;

a plurality of graphic processing units to combine outputs from the sensors to form the 360 degree video, the processor and the graphic processing units operating to keep heat below a predetermined range; and

a heat pipe coupled to the processor and the graphic processing units.

2. The device of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of removable lens coupled to a device housing, each lens having a sensor to capture images.

3. The device of claim 1 , comprising a watch wirelessly coupled to the imager to display videos being recorded.

4. The device of claim 1 , comprising a fingerprint sensor to authenticate the video and a coil to transmit a magnetic field to a credit card reader.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the wearable housing comprises an eye-wear, further comprising a neural network to analyze the images.

6. The device of claim 1 , comprising code for receiving video data comprising image frames from the sensors; stitching the image frames together and generating three-dimensional video; synthesizing audio data; and generating a stream of the three-dimensional video and the audio data for displaying a panoramic video.

7. The device of claim 1 , comprising a cloud based storage to receive the video.

8. The device of claim 1 , comprising a light projector coupled to the processor to project the video onto a surface.

9. The device of claim 1 , comprising code to recognize gesture commands to start, stop, zoom, or transition a scene.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the imager comprises two lenses facing opposite directions to capture 360 degree views.

11. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more sensors coupled to the eyeglass to detect temperature, blood flow and blood oxygen level.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the imager comprises three or more lenses facing various directions to capture virtual reality views.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein each sensor is positioned to have at least one overlapping field of view with another sensor.

14. The device of claim 1 , comprising a remote camera in wireless communication with the processor and synchronized to take the same view from a different perspective.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein GPUs combine the views from the imager and the remote camera.

16. The device of claim 1 , wherein image frames are stitched together based on a relative position of each sensor.

17. The device of claim 1 , wherein sensor outputs are processed to form one or more touchless sensors.

18. The device of claim 17 , comprising code for eye tracking, hand tracking, body tracking, head tracking, object tracking, mouth tracking, environment tracking.

19. The device of claim 1 , comprising code to detect air gestures where a user performs actions on a projected image and code to use fingers or user body to interact with the projected image.
