Abstract

A virtual local presence display apparatus, system and method is disclosed. Included are an extraction engine capable of automatically disassociating the virtual local presence from its production background; a first data feed of an actual background in which the displaying device resides; a background data feed of a plurality of optional backgrounds including at least the production background of the virtual local presence; a stream subject data feed of an extracted one of the virtual local presence extracted from the production background; an integrated data feed in which the virtual local presence and a background are integrated; a first processing having a receiver capable of receiving the data feeds and assessing a plurality of focal lengths to focal planes for the virtual presence in the production background, and in a selected one of the other backgrounds; and a second processing for causing displaying, on the display device, the virtual presence at a suitable location with regard to the focal planes in a selected one of the other backgrounds.

Claims (32)

1. A display system for a virtual local presence, comprising:

a display device;

an extraction engine that automatically disassociates the virtual local presence from a remote production background;

a first data feed of an actual background in which the display device resides;

a stream subject feed of the disassociated one of the virtual local presence extracted from the remote production background;

an integrated data feed in which the stream subject feed, the first data feed, and the remote production background are integrated;

a first module executed by a processor of the display device for comparing, from the integrated data feed, a plurality of focal lengths to focal planes for the virtual local presence in the remote production background to a plurality of focal lengths in 3 dimensions in the actual background; and

a second module executed by the processor of the display device for causing displaying on the display device of the virtual local presence at a user-selected perceptible location in the actual background according to an output of the comparing from the first module.

2. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the extraction engine is thin client.

3. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the first module is thin client.

4. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the second module is thin client.

5. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the extraction engine further includes assessment, blocking or removal of colors.

6. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the first module further includes assessment, blocking or removal of colors.

7. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the extraction engine comprises motion tracking of the virtual local presence.

8. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual local presence is presented three-dimensionally.

9. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the display device is one of augmented reality glasses, a basic video screen, or a mobile device.

10. A display system for locally displaying a virtual presence from a remote event, comprising:

a display device;

an extraction engine that automatically disassociates the virtual local presence from a production background at the remote event;

a first data feed of an actual background in which the display device resides;

a stream subject feed of the disassociated one of the virtual local presence extracted from the production background;

an integrated data feed in which the stream subject feed, the first data feed, and the production background are integrated;

a first module executed by a processor of the display device for comparing, from the integrated data feed, a plurality of focal lengths to focal planes for the virtual local presence at the remote event to a plurality of focal lengths in the actual background; and

a second module executed by the processor of the display device for causing displaying on the display device of the virtual local presence at a user-selected perceptible location in the actual background according to an output of the comparing from the first module.

11. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the extraction engine is thin client.

12. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the first module is thin client.

13. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the second module is thin client.

14. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the extraction engine further includes assessment, blocking or removal of colors.

15. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the first module further includes assessment, blocking or removal of colors.

16. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the extraction engine comprises motion tracking of the virtual local presence.

17. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the virtual local presence is presented three-dimensionally.

18. The display system of claim 10 , wherein the display device is one of augmented reality glasses, a basic video screen, or a mobile device.
