Abstract

A display-control apparatus and method for position-based control of display of a video on a display screen are disclosed. Based on retrieval of the video in which each image frame is embedded in one of a plurality of view angles with respect to a reference axis, the display-control apparatus may control display of the video on the display screen. The display controller may control display of the retrieved video on the display screen. The display screen may be viewable from different view positions of a defined area. Further, the display of the retrieved video on the display screen may be controlled such that a first sequence of image frames associated with a first view angle of the plurality of view angles may be viewable through a first type of wearable glasses from a first view position of the different view positions.

Claims (47)

1. A display system, comprising:

one or more circuits configured to:

retrieve a video, wherein

said video comprises a plurality of sequence of image frames, and each sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a different view angle of a plurality of view angles with respect to a reference axis;

modify an image frame of said retrieved video;

generate a set of modified image frames based on said modification of said image frame;

generate a modified video based on said generated set of modified image frames;

increase a frame rate of reproduction of said modified video by multiplication of said frame rate with a number of said plurality of view angles and based on metadata related to color hex code associated with said plurality of sequence of image frames; and

control display of said modified video on a display screen based on said increased frame rate, wherein said display screen is viewable from a plurality of view positions in an area, wherein

a sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable from a view position of said plurality of view positions based on a type of a wearable glasses associated with said view position.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

a first sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a first view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable through a first type of wearable glasses from a first view position of said plurality of view positions, and

said first type of wearable glasses comprises a first monochromatic pair of eyewear glasses that permits view of said first sequence of image frames associated with said first view angle of said plurality of view angles.

3. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein a second sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a second view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable through a second type of wearable glasses from a second view position of said plurality of view positions.

4. The display system according to claim 3 , wherein said second type of wearable glasses comprises a second monochromatic pair of eyewear glasses that permits view of said second sequence of image frames associated with said second view angle of said plurality of view angles.

5. The display system according to claim 3 , wherein a third sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a third view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable through a third type of wearable glasses from a third view position of said plurality of view positions.

6. The display system according to claim 5 , wherein said third type of wearable glasses comprises a third monochromatic pair of eyewear glasses that permits view of said third sequence of image frames associated with said third view angle of said plurality of view angles.

7. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein said first type of wearable glasses comprises one of a green pair of eyewear glasses, a blue pair of eyewear glasses, or a red pair of eyewear glasses.

8. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein each modified image frame of said set of modified image frames is associated with one of said plurality of view angles.

9. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more circuits are further configured to generate each of said set of modified image frames having a different aspect ratio.

10. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

a first sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a first view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable through a first type of wearable glasses from a first view position of said plurality of view positions, and

said first type of wearable glasses corresponds to a smart-glass that permits view of said first sequence of image frames associated with said first view angle.

11. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

said type of said wearable glasses corresponds to a smart-glass that permits view of said sequence of image frames,

said sequence of image frames is associated with said view angle and a hex code viewable from said view position, and

said hex code is stored as metadata associated with said sequence of image frames.

12. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more circuits are further configured to

concurrently play a first video content, a second video content and a third video content on said display screen, wherein said first video content, said second video content, and said third video content are viewable on said display screen at a same time from said plurality of view positions.

13. A display method, comprising:

retrieving, by one or more circuits, a video, wherein

said video comprises a plurality of sequence of image frames, and each sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a different view angle of a plurality of view angles with respect to a reference axis;

modifying, by said one or more circuits, an image frame of said retrieved video

generating, by said one or more circuits, a set of modified image frames based on said modification of said image frame;

generating, by said one or more circuits, a modified video based on said generated set of modified image frames;

increasing, by said one or more circuits, a frame rate of reproduction of said modified video by multiplication of said frame rate with a number of said plurality of view angles and based on metadata related to color hex code associated with said plurality of sequence image frames; and

controlling, by said one or more circuits, display of said modified video on a display screen based on said increased frame rate, wherein said display screen k viewable from a plurality of view positions in an area, wherein

a sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames k associated with a view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable from a view position of said plurality of view positions based on a type of a wearable glasses associated with said view position.

14. The display method according to claim 13 , wherein

a first sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a first view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable through a first type of wearable glasses from a first view position of said plurality of view positions, and

said first type of wearable glasses comprises a first monochromatic pair of eyewear glasses that permits view of said first sequence of image frames associated with said first view angle of said plurality of view angles.

15. The display method according to claim 14 , wherein a second sequence of image frames of said plurality of sequence of image frames is associated with a second view angle of said plurality of view angles and is viewable through a second type of wearable glasses from a second view position of said plurality of view positions.
