DOUBLE CAMERA STREAMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17822022 titled 'DOUBLE CAMERA STREAMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that can apply augmented reality effects to live video streams captured by a camera and display them in real time on a display. The device can also save the original video stream and later apply augmented reality effects to it independently.

  • The device includes a display and a camera.
  • It receives a live stream of image frames captured by the camera.
  • Augmented reality effects are applied to the live stream of image frames.
  • The augmented stream of image frames is displayed on the device's display in real time.
  • A second stream of image frames, corresponding to the first stream, is saved to a video file.
  • The saved video file can be retrieved later and augmented reality effects can be applied to it independently.

Potential Applications

  • Entertainment and gaming: Augmented reality effects can enhance the user experience in video games and entertainment applications.
  • Education and training: Augmented reality can be used to provide interactive and immersive learning experiences.
  • Advertising and marketing: Augmented reality effects can be applied to promotional videos or advertisements to make them more engaging and interactive.

Problems Solved

  • Real-time augmented reality: The device allows for the application of augmented reality effects to live video streams, providing an immersive and interactive experience.
  • Independent application of effects: The ability to save the original video stream and apply augmented reality effects later allows for flexibility and customization.

Benefits

  • Enhanced user experience: Augmented reality effects can make video content more engaging and interactive.
  • Flexibility and customization: The ability to apply augmented reality effects independently to saved video streams allows for customization and experimentation.
  • Immersive learning and training: Augmented reality can provide a more immersive and interactive learning experience, enhancing retention and engagement.


Original Abstract Submitted

Image augmentation effects are provided on a device that includes a display and a camera. A first stream of image frames captured by the camera is received and an augmented reality effect is applied thereto to generate an augmented stream of image frames. The augmented stream of image frames is displayed on the display in real time. A second stream of image frames, corresponding to the first stream of image frames, is concurrently saved to an initial video file. The second stream of image frames can later be retrieved from the initial video file and the augmented reality effects applied thereto independently of the first stream of image frames.
