VIRTUAL LOCATION MANAGEMENT COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013340 titled 'VIRTUAL LOCATION MANAGEMENT COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHODS THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for using virtual reality devices to perform location scouting and other film-related processes in the video production industry. Here are the key points:

  • Stakeholders in the video production industry can use virtual reality devices to perform location scouting and other film-related processes.
  • Imagery from different physical locations can be collected and stored.
  • Directors, location managers, directors of photography, production designers, and others can virtually view each physical location using a virtual reality device.
  • Attributes of the physical locations that are relevant to filming can be collected and provided to the users.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Location scouting: Filmmakers can use virtual reality devices to explore potential filming locations without physically visiting them.
  • Pre-production planning: The system can assist in the planning and design of film sets by providing virtual tours of different physical locations.
  • Collaboration: Stakeholders can remotely view and discuss potential locations, improving communication and decision-making processes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Cost and time efficiency: Virtual location scouting eliminates the need for extensive travel and on-site visits, saving time and resources.
  • Accessibility: Stakeholders can explore locations that may be difficult or impossible to visit in person, such as remote or restricted areas.
  • Visualization: Virtual reality provides a more immersive and realistic experience compared to traditional location scouting methods.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced decision-making: Stakeholders can make more informed decisions by virtually experiencing different locations and considering their attributes.
  • Increased creativity: Virtual reality can inspire new ideas and creative approaches to filming locations and set designs.
  • Improved collaboration: Stakeholders can easily share their virtual experiences and collaborate remotely, regardless of their physical location.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are provided for allowing stakeholders in the video production industry to perform location scouting and other film-related processes via virtual reality devices. imagery can be collected from a plurality of different physical locations. subsequently, directors, location managers, directors of photography, production designers, and others, can virtually view each of the different physical locations using a virtual reality device. attributes regarding the physical locations that are relative to filming can also be collected and provided to the users.
