Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for facilitating controlling a meeting between remote Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) participants. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, during a conference session wherein a plurality of head mounted displays (HMDs) are each worn by one of a plurality of participants, compiling first orientation information and first view information from a first HMD of the plurality of HMDs. The orientation information describes current orientation of the first HMD. Based on the first orientation information and the first view information, the method provides determining a first change to how video is presented the first HMD. Also, the method provides directing the first HMD to implement the first change.
Abstract:
A video- and/or audio-enabled communication system includes a processor, coupled with a camera, the camera acquiring an image of an object of interest during a video communication session involving multiple participants and a computer readable medium comprising instructions that cause the processor to perform automatically an action in response to and related to a sensed context during the video communication session. The action can be one or more of retrieve or provide content of interest to one or more of the participants, join a third party to the video communication session, recommend that a further action be performed by the processor, and schedule an activity involving one or more of the participants.
Abstract:
A video communication system that includes a computer readable medium and a processor, coupled with a wide angle and high resolution digital camera and the computer readable medium. The processor causes the wide angle and high resolution digital camera to acquire a digital image of a local participant during a video communication session. The processor extracts a first image of a first set of objects and a second image of a second set of objects from the digital image and provides the extracted first and second images to a remote endpoint for display to another participant.
Abstract:
A video-enabled communication system includes a camera to acquire an image of a local participant during a video communication session and a control unit that selects a lighting configuration for the local participant to be captured by the camera for provision to a remote endpoint for display to another participant. The lighting configuration selection is based on information describing a local participant or context of the video communication session. The processor conditions a change from providing, to the remote participant endpoint for display, a first image captured under a first lighting configuration selected at a first time to a second image captured under a different lighting configuration selected at a second time upon a difference between the first and second times having at least a threshold magnitude.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for facilitating enhanced visual communication between remote participants. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, during a conference session, receiving first video captured of a first participant remote to a physical meeting location. The method further provides determining a first position for the first participant in the physical meeting location and determining a view of an Augmented Reality (AR) head mounted display worn by a second participant at the physical meeting location. From the first video, the method provides generating AR video that makes the first participant appear to the second participant at the first position when viewed through the AR head mounted display. The method also includes transferring the AR video to the AR head mounted display for presentation to the second participant.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for presenting a meeting between remote participants. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, during a conference session, compiling view information used to determine a first view seen by the first participant. The method further provides receiving conference video comprising at least video captured of a second participant remote to the physical location of the first participant. Also, the method provides presenting the video captured of the second participant such that the second participant appears at a first position of a meeting location in the first view to the first participant.
