A method and system for hybrid streaming of media content such as video for a computer-based game. In some implementations, a background media content stream includes a background video rendered on a server. The background media content stream is received at a client device. The client device renders one or more three-dimensional objects and forms a composite media stream by combining the background media content stream and the one or more three-dimensional objects. The composite media stream can be output to a display or other external system.

Hybrid streaming

A method and system are provided for hybrid streaming of media content such as video for a computer-based game. In some implementations, a background media content stream includes a background video rendered on a server. The background media content stream is received at a client device. The client device renders one or more three-dimensional objects and forms a composite media stream by combining the background media content stream and the one or more three-dimensional objects. The composite media stream can be output to a display or other external system.

In one example, a computing system includes a first computing device including a first display having a moveable interaction window that is a subset of an entire display area of the first display, the first computing device to wirelessly transmit a video stream representing at least the interaction window. The computing system includes a tablet computing device including a second display, the tablet computing device to wirelessly receive the video stream and display content of the interaction window on the second display and cause movement of the interaction window on the first display based on movement of the tablet computing device.

Causing movement of an interaction window with a tablet computing device

Examples relate to determining finger movements. In one example, a computing device may: receive input from at least one of: a first proximity sensor coupled to the frame at a first position and facing a first direction; or a second proximity sensor coupled to the frame at a second position and facing a second direction; determine, based on the input, that a finger action occurred, the finger action being one of: a first movement of a first finger, the first movement being detected by the first proximity sensor; a second movement of a second finger, the second movement being detected by the second proximity sensor; generate, based on the finger action, output that includes data defining an event that corresponds to the finger action; and provide the output to another computing device.

Wearable devices for detecting finger movements and related methods

In some examples, a computing device processes depth images to capture an interaction of an object relative to an interaction plane.

System and method for processing depth images which capture an interaction of an object relative to an interaction plane

A method of determining context-appropriate behavior for mobile devices.

Controlling behavior of mobile devices using consensus

The present invention describes a display system that includes a display, including a display screen; a viewpoint assessment component to determine a viewpoint of a user positioned in front the display screen; and an object tracking component to track the user manipulation of an object positioned behind the display screen.

Augmented reality display system and method of display

An image capture system is described that includes: a first image capture device for capturing a first image, the first image capture device having a first field of view; a viewpoint assessment sensor having a second field of view. The image capture system also includes a viewpoint assessment component for determining the location of the user viewpoint in the second field of view and an image modification component for modifying the first image responsive to the user viewpoint in the second field of view.

Modifying captured image based on user viewpoint

One form of the present invention provides a method of displaying multiple image streams that includes providing a first plurality of image streams, processing the plurality of image streams, thereby generating at least one processed image stream, and projecting the at least one processed image stream onto a non-planar surface with at least one projector, thereby generating a plurality of different projected image streams at a corresponding plurality of different positions on the non-planar surface.

System and method for projecting multiple image streams

A video system comprises a shared media accessor configured to access shared media. The shared media is configured to be displayed on a first display screen and a second display screen. A video accessor configured to access images from a first camera. A field of view of the first camera is oriented such that the first camera can capture the images comprising non-verbal communication of a user associated with the shared media. A video compositor configured to composite the images captured by the first camera and said shared media. The composited images are configured to be displayed on the second display screen.

Enhancing video presentation systems

Systems and methods of visually indicating one or more gestures of a user of a node () in the content of a media stream () are disclosed. A node () configured to transmit a media stream () having content to one or more other nodes () includes a screen configured to display the content of the media stream, a media device () configured to capture an image of one or more gestures of the user of the node (), wherein the one or more gestures are adjacent to the screen and the media device () is positioned to capture the image without capturing more than a peripheral view of the screen in that image; a media analyzer () configured to generate a visual representation of the captured one or more gestures; and a compositer () configured to composite the visual representation of the captured one or more gestures with the content of the media stream ().

Communicating visual representations in virtual collaboration systems

The present invention provides a method () executed on a processor for providing object information about an object in proximity to a display screen. The method includes the step of determining whether an at least first object is located within a proximal distance of the first surface of the display screen based on information provided by a depth camera (step). The method also includes the step of determining whether the at least first object has physically contacted a first surface of the display screen based on information provided by a physical contact sensing component (step). The information about (1) the proximal distance of the at least first object from the screen and (2) whether the at least first object has physically contacted the display surface of the screen to provide proximal event information and based on the information provided, it is determining whether the user interface should be modified (step).

System and method for providing object location information and physical contact information

Video conferencing methods and systems that enable shared content to be displayed in a separate window within a screen or in a separate display are described. In one aspect, a method for establishing a video conference with shared content using a computing device includes capturing images of a first participant through a screen using a camera. The screen is located between the first participant and the camera. The method also includes projecting images of a second participant on the screen to be viewed by the first participant using a projector, and displaying shared content separate from the images of the second participant. The shared content is to be presented in different format than the images of the second participant presented on the screen.

Methods and systems for sharing content via a collaboration screen

An image rendition and capture method includes rendering a first image on a surface using a first set of wavelength ranges of light. While the first image is being rendered, a second image is captured using a second set of wavelength ranges of light but not the first set. The second image is of the surface on which the first image is being rendered.

Image rendition and capture

Embodiments of the present invention pertain to methods and apparatuses for quantifying properties of skin. In one embodiment, data that describes a set of images of skin is received. A plurality of the images comprising the set of images were taken under a different lighting condition. Surface normals are computed based on the data and the computed surface normals are utilized to enable quantifying a property of the skin for the purpose of evaluating the skin.
