Device and method of creating an augmented interactive virtual reality system
A system for detecting and incorporating three-dimensional objects into a video stream reads an input video data stream. The user specifies areas of attention wherein said areas of attention or hotspots. Tracking movement of the hotspots generating a trajectory of said at least one object. Generating a cloud of points and tracking said points to detect configurations of points most similar to the initially defined hotspot. Obtaining a three dimensional topology defining a volume of interest in a three-dimensional space. Building virtual structures or pseudo objects that are placed within a spherical environment generated on the input video.
1. A method for adding data into a video stream comprising:
reading an input video data stream;
accepting hotspots defining at least one object of interest shown within the video data stream;
tracking movement of said hotspots generating a trajectory of said at least one object of interest in two-dimensional space of the video;
defining a three-dimensional topology defining a three-dimensional volume of interest in a three-dimensional space;
translating the hotspots to the three-dimensional volume;
calculating motion of the hotspots in three-dimensional space;
building virtual structures to relate said hotspots to said three-dimensional space to create a three dimensional geometric shape; and
projecting resulting said shape.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said projecting comprises projecting on a spherical environment.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said building virtual structures comprises compiling pseudo objects wherein each pseudo object is defined as a group of hotspots.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said video data stream comprises encoded video.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said video data stream comprises decoded video stream.
6. The method of claim 3 wherein additional information is added to said pseudo objects.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein a spherical projection of video and pseudo objects is presented to a user.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein said video data stream comprises encoded video.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein said video data stream comprises decoded video stream.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein additional information is associated with said at least one created object of interest shown within the video data stream.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein a spherical projection of video and pseudo objects is presented to a user.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein said accepting of hotspot input comprises accepting input from a user.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein said object of interest comprises a real-world object.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein said defining of a three-dimensional space of interest occurs from user input.
