Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating a panoramic video from unstructured camera arrays. The systems and methods are configured to statically align corresponding image-frames of respective input video streams, warp the aligned image-frames according to a warping-order, and relax the warped image-frames thereby generating a temporally coherent panoramic video. Methods according to embodiments this invention utilize a new parallax-warping-error metric that is devised to capture structural differences created by parallax artifacts. The parallax-warping-error metric is effective in finding an optimal warping-order and in driving the warping process, resulting in a panoramic video with minimal parallax artifacts.

Abstract:
There is provided a system and method for a coordinated visual presentation using audience display devices. The method comprises determining a plurality of variables, wherein each of the plurality of variables include at least one process for execution by a first audience display device, determining a macro command including at least one of the plurality of variables, and transmitting the macro command for storage by the first audience display device. The method may further comprise transmitting a first trigger signal, wherein the first trigger signal includes a countdown timer for the initiating the macro command, and transmitting a second trigger signal, wherein the second trigger signal includes a second countdown timer for initiating the macro command, and wherein the second countdown timer includes the first countdown timer modified to account for a time difference between the receiving the first trigger signal and the receiving the second trigger signal.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein include a mobile locker. The mobile locker can include a mobility unit to enable the locker to relocate from one location to another. The mobile locker is modular which allows the storage compartment to be detached from the mobility unit for storage, transfer via other means. The storage compartment can be coupled either the same or a different mobility unit. The mobile lockers can be recalled by a customer to either the customer's location or to designated locations at the venue. The lockers can include any one of multiple locking mechanisms. The mobile locker can communicate with a monitoring center that oversees the deployment of multiple mobile lockers. Embodiments of the mobile locker can interact with customers through a display, microphone, and speaker.
