A method for video conference environment generation, the method may include detecting a participant gaze pattern in relation to a display that displays a version of a virtual three dimensional virtual 3D video conference environment video conference environment (V3DVCE); and changing, without an explicit request from the participant, one or more display parameters of the V3DVCE to induce a change of at least one participant gaze pattern parameter.

Manipulating a virtual video conference environment

A method for creating a variable model of a face of a person, the method comprises: obtaining a non-riggable model of the face of the person; performing a first approximation process that comprises generating an intermediate variable model that approximates the non-riggable model, using an interactive variable model infrastructure; wherein the generating comprises iteratively changing shape parameters of the intermediate model until fulfilling a proximity condition; and performing a second approximation process that comprises generating the variable model, by iteratively modifying vertices.

Method for creating a variable model of a face of a person

A method for creating a non-riggable model of a face of a person, the method includes obtaining video and depth information regarding the face of the person, wherein different images of the video are acquired by a camera at different camera locations; and for each image of the different images repeating the steps of: separating face information from background information; determining translation and rotation parameters that represent the different camera locations; and generating the non-riggable model of the face of the person based on the face information and the translation and rotation parameters.

A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference between multiple participants, the method may include receiving direction of gaze information regarding a direction of gaze of each participant within a representation of a virtual 3D video conference environment that is associated with the participant; determining, for each participant, updated 3D participant representation information within the virtual 3D video conference environment, that reflects the direction of gaze of the participant; and generating, for at least one participant, an updated representation of virtual 3D video conference environment, the updated representation of virtual 3D video conference environment represents the updated 3D participant representation information for at least some of the multiple participants.

Method and system for virtual 3D communications

A method for managing a sphere of wireless tags, the method comprises programming, by a wireless reader, a group of wireless tags to belong to the sphere of wireless tags; sending by the wireless reader sphere beacons aimed to the wireless tags of the sphere; detecting a loss of a wireless tag of the sphere if the wireless tag did not respond to a predetermined number of sphere beacons; and responding to the detecting of the loss of the wireless tag.

Managing a sphere of wireless tags

A method for determining a location of a group of wireless tags, the method may include receiving first information indicative of distances between each wireless tag of the group and between at least three other wireless tags of the group; tracking a first movement of a certain tag of the group of wireless tag in relation to other wireless tags of the group to provide first movement information; receiving, after the performing of the first movement, second information indicative of distances between each wireless tag of the group and between at least three other wireless tags of the group; and determining locations of the wireless tags of the group in response to the first information, second information and the first movement information.
