Abstract

A system and method having at least one processor communicatively coupled to a memory, a display, and at least one database. The processor can be configured to execute computer readable instructions stored in the memory to perform operations including (i) accessing graphical data and at least one advertisement from the at least one database, (ii) generating on the display a three-dimensional (3D) moving representation of an environment including a billboard displaying the at least one advertisement, in which the environment and billboard position correspond to a user's vantage point, and (iii) updating the 3D moving representation of the environment and billboard in response to changes in the user's vantage point.

Claims (33)

1 . A system for simulating and previewing billboards in selected environments, comprising:

a memory;

a display;

at least one database;

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the display, and the at least one database, the processor configured to execute computer readable instructions stored in the memory to perform operations comprising:

accessing graphical data and at least one advertisement from the at least one database;

setting a perceived traveling speed based on a user's vantage point;

generating on the display a three-dimensional (3D) moving representation of an environment corresponding to a location of a billboard to be previewed, the billboard comprising the at least one advertisement, from a moving perspective of a user comprising a passerby traveling along a roadway or travel path, the three-dimensional (3D) moving representation of the environment comprising the billboard at a specific location displaying the at least one advertisement such that visualization of the billboard corresponds to the user's vantage point; and

updating the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard in response to changes in the user's vantage point in real time while the passerby travels along the roadway or travel path.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one advertisement includes at least one of alphabets, numbers, words, symbols, images, graphics and videos.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the environment comprises at least one of virtual image mode and actual image mode.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the environment includes elements stored in or uploaded to the at least one database.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform operations comprising creating at least one of dynamic video format and static image format of the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating step further comprises modifying parameters of the billboard or modifying the at least one advertisement.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating step further comprises altering sensory stimuli of the environment.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the updating step includes updating the 3D moving representation of the environment in response to the altering sensory stimuli of the environment.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform operations comprising creating at least one of dynamic video format and static image format of the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one of dynamic video format and static image format can be displayed on portable electronic devices including AR/VR headsets.

11 . A method for simulating and previewing billboards in selected environments, comprising:

in a system having at least one processor communicatively coupled to a memory, a display, and at least one database, wherein the processor is configured to execute computer readable instructions stored in the memory to perform operations including:

accessing, by the processor, of graphical data and at least one advertisement from the at least one database;

setting, by the processor, a perceived traveling speed based on a user's vantage point;

generating, by the processor, on the display a three-dimensional (3D) moving representation of an environment corresponding to a location of a billboard to be previewed, the billboard comprising the at least one advertisement, from a moving perspective of a user comprising a passerby traveling along a roadway or travel path, the three-dimensional (3D) moving representation of the environment comprising the billboard at a specific location displaying the at least one advertisement such that visualization of the billboard corresponds to the user's vantage point; and

updating, by the processor, of the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard in response to changes in the user's vantage point in real time while the passerby travels along the roadway or travel path.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one advertisement includes at least one of alphabets, numbers, words, symbols, images, graphics and videos.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the environment comprises at least one of virtual image mode and actual image mode.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the environment includes elements stored in or uploaded to the at least one database.

15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising creating, by the processor, at least one of dynamic video format and static image format of the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the generating step further comprises modifying, by the processor, parameters of the billboard or the at least one advertisement.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the generating step further comprises altering, by the processor, on the display the 3D moving representation of sensory stimuli of the environment.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the updating step includes updating the 3D moving representation of the environment in response to the altering sensory stimuli of the environment.

19 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising creating, by the processor, at least one of dynamic video format and static image format of the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising displaying, on portable electronic devices including AR/VR headsets, the at least one of dynamic video format and static image format of the 3D moving representation of the environment and the billboard.
