Abstract:
A media stream from a conference site involved in a meeting established over a communications network is received, where the media stream contains a representation of at least one participant of the meeting. Geometric correction is applied to the representation of the at least one participant based on metadata.
Abstract:
A videoconferencing system may include a conference host (130) that is associated with an environment (110) and that may detect a personal device (140) with a participant that is visiting the environment (110) during a videoconference. A video capture system (142) of the personal device (140) may then be used to provide a video stream representing the participant during the videoconference.
Abstract:
Implementations disclosed herein relate to positioning video streams from video conferencing sites. Video conference sites may be assigned a position within a display area, and a position for the video stream windows may be determined within the assigned display area for the associated video conference site. A processor may cause the video stream windows to be displayed according to the determined positions.
Abstract:
An event management system is configured to detect an overlap between events and provide a communication to remediate the overlap to one or more event attendees.
Abstract:
An event management system is configured to receive a first communication from a person associated with a scheduled event and provide a second communication associated with the first communication to at least one endpoint of an in progress event.
Abstract:
Collaborations may be administered amongst first clients (26, 426, 428, 429) and amongst second clients (26, 426, 428, 429) using first and second host servers (30, 430), respectively, while sharing collaboration parameters for collaborations between the first clients (26, 426, 428, 429) and the second clients (26, 426, 428, 429).
Abstract:
An event management system is configured to host a first event that includes a first set of event endpoints that provides first and second sets of media streams to respective first and second sets of attendees during the first event. The event management system is configured to, while hosting the first event, create a second event that includes a second set of event endpoints that provide a third set of media streams to at least one of the first set of attendees and a fourth set of media streams during the second event. At least one of the second set of event endpoints is sufficiently separated from each of the first set of event endpoints so that the second event does not substantially interfere with the first event.
Abstract:
A method is described for aligning video streams and positioning cameras in a collaboration event to create a blended space. A local physical environment of one set of attendees is combined with respective apparent spaces of other sets of attendees that are transmitted from two or more remote environments. A geometrically consistent shared space is created that maintains natural collaboration cues of eye contact and directional awareness. The remote environments in the local physical environment are represented in a fashion that is geometrically consistent with the local physical environment. The local physical environment extends naturally and consistently with the way the remote environments may be similarly extended with their own blended spaces. Therefore, an apparent shared space that is sufficiently similar for all sets of attendees is presented in both the local and remote physical environments.
Abstract:
An event management system is configured to provide a communications pathway between persons associated with a scheduled event prior to initiating the scheduled event.
Abstract:
Telepresence system having a media wall with one or more cameras and a participant table located a fixed distance from one or more of the cameras are useful in creating images for video conferencing. A back edge of the table is convex and a center of the back edge is aligned with a central camera. The center of the back edge is located horizontally closer to the central camera than either end of the back edge.
