Abstract: A system and method for communicating between a first person at a first location one or more people at remote locations. A production set (22) is established at the first location where the first person (20) is imaged with stereoscopic video cameras (24) The stereoscopic footage (26) is digitally enhancing with 3D effects to create a production video file (32) The production video file (32) is transmitted to an electronic device (16) at one or more remote locations The production video file (32) is played and creates images of the first person at the first location. On a display screen (14) at the remote locations, the images appear three dimensional to the remote viewers. Furthermore, the images appear to extend in front of, or above, the display screen (14) of the electronic device (16).

Abstract: System, method and software for producing imagery with enhanced 3D effects that is viewed on a display medium (14). To create the imagery with enhanced 3D effects, a light field camera (17) images a scene that contains at least one subject (20). At a given moment in time, the subject (20) is positioned in an initial orientation. Upon imaging, the light field camera (17) produces light field image data (16) that represents the scene. The light field image data (16) is edited to add enhanced 3D effects. Once edited, the enhanced image data (43) is played on a display medium (12), where the added 3D effects cause the subject to appear, at least in part, to extend vertically above, or in front of, the display medium (14).

Abstract: A system, method and software for producing 3D effects in a real-time video production. A virtual reference plane (40) is defined. The reference plane (40) has peripheral boundaries (52, 54, 55, 56). A live event is viewed with stereoscopic video cameras (20). The stereoscopic camera viewpoints are calculated that enable the event to be recorded within the peripheral boundaries (52, 54, 55, 56) of the reference plane (40). The footage from the stereoscopic video cameras (20) is digitally altered prior to being imaged. The altering of the footage includes bending a portion of the footage, tapering a portion of the footage and/or tilting a portion of the footage in real time. Once the footage is altered, a common set of boundaries are set for superimposed footage to create a final video production.

Abstract: A system and method of providing a virtual avatar (16) to accompany audio signals being broadcast from an electronic device (10) that has a display screen (12). A virtual avatar model (20) is created and altered in real time in response to audio signals being broadcast from the electronic device (10). A 3D stereoscopic video file (15) is created using the virtual avatar model (20) while the virtual avatar model (20) is responding to the audio signals. The 3D video file (15) is played on the display screen (12). When viewed, the 3D video file (15) shows an avatar (16) that appears, at least in part, to a viewer to be three-dimensional. The result is a three-dimensional avatar (16) that appears to extend out of a display screen (12), wherein movements of the avatar (16) are synchronized to audio signals that are being broadcast.

Abstract: A method of producing vertically projecting three-dimensional images using virtual 3D models (22), wherein said 3D models (22) are created by the simultaneous localization and depth-mapping of the physical features of real objects. A camera (17) is used to take a first image (22A) from a first perspective, and a subsequent image (22N) from a subsequent perspective, wherein the autofocus system (18) provides a first set of depth mapping data and a subsequent set of depth mapping data. The first set of depth mapping data and the subsequent set of depth mapping data are used to generate a disparity mapping (21). A virtual 3D model (32) is created from the disparity mapping (21). The virtual 3D model (32) is imaged to obtain images that can be viewed as three-dimensional. Enhanced 3D effects are added to the virtual 3D model (32).

Abstract: A system, method and software for producing a virtual scene (10) to be viewed on an electronic display (12). A virtual reference plane (24) is defined. The reference plane (24) has peripheral boundaries (27, 28, 29, 30). A virtual object (20) is positioned above the reference plane (24) in the virtual scene (10). Stereoscopic camera viewpoints (25, 26) are calculated that enable the virtual object (20) to be imaged with the reference plane (24) within the peripheral boundaries (27, 28, 29, 30) of the reference plane (24). The virtual object (20) is digitally altered before and/or after being stereoscopically imaged. The altering includes bending, tapering or tilting a portion of the virtual object (20), and/or tilting a portion of the reference plane (24). A common set of boundaries are set for a superimposed image to create a final image (48).

Abstract: A system and method of interacting with a virtual object (15) in a virtual environment using physical movement. The virtual scene (12) contains a 3D object (15) that appears to extend forward or above the plane of the display (10). A sensor array (20) is provided that monitors an area proximate the display (10). The sensor array (20) can detect the presence and position of an object that enters the area. Action points (16) are programmed in, on, or near the virtual objects. Each action point (16) has virtual coordinates in the virtual scene (12) that correspond to real coordinates within the monitored area. Subroutines are activated when the sensor array (20) detects an object that moves to real coordinates that correspond to the virtual coordinates of the action points (16).

Abstract: A system and method for operating a virtual assistant system run on an electronic device (50) with a visual image (44) representing the virtual assistant (46). Voice recognition software (47) identifies spoken action commands. The electronic device (50) generates an interface image (41), such as an avatar (44), that is displayed. The interface image (41) appears three dimensional and contains enhanced 3D effects. The interface image (41) is interactive and responds to the spoken commands. For certain spoken commands, a command response image is provided. The command response image is a three-dimensional image or video that contains enhanced 3D effects. The command response image can be recalled from a database or created by recalling an image or video and processing that image or video to first be three-dimensional and then to contain enhanced 3D effect.
