COLLABORATIVE ENHANCEMENT OF VOLUMETRIC VIDEO WITH A DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE CAMERAS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161784 titled 'COLLABORATIVE ENHANCEMENT OF VOLUMETRIC VIDEO WITH A DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE CAMERAS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for collaborative enhancement of volumetric video with a device having multiple cameras. The volumetric video is displayed as a holographic projection. User actions are identified and used to update the video and display an updated holographic projection. Additional content from other devices is aggregated to generate an aggregated volumetric video, which is then displayed as an updated holographic projection.

  • Techniques for collaborative enhancement of volumetric video with multiple cameras
  • Volumetric video displayed as holographic projection
  • User actions trigger video updates and updated holographic projections
  • Additional content from other devices is aggregated to create an updated holographic projection

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Virtual reality experiences
  • Interactive storytelling
  • Live events and performances

Problems Solved

This technology solves:

  • Limited interactivity in volumetric video
  • Difficulty in updating holographic projections in real-time
  • Lack of collaboration features in volumetric video systems

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced user engagement
  • Real-time updates to holographic projections
  • Collaborative storytelling experiences

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Entertainment industry
  • Education and training
  • Marketing and advertising

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Existing volumetric video systems with limited interactivity and collaboration features

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle privacy and security concerns related to sharing user actions from multiple devices?

The patent application does not provide details on how user data is protected and secured during the aggregation process.

What is the potential impact of network latency on the real-time collaboration features of the system?

The patent application does not address how network latency could affect the performance of the collaborative enhancement system.


Original Abstract Submitted

provided are techniques for collaborative enhancement of volumetric video with a device having multiple cameras. a volumetric video is displayed as a holographic projection. in response to identifying one or more user actions of a user at the device with the holographic projection of the volumetric video, the volumetric video is updated and an updated holographic projection that indicates the one or more user actions of the user is displayed. additional content is received for the updated volumetric video from a plurality of other devices, where the additional content comprises one or more user actions of other users at the plurality of other devices. the additional content is aggregated to generate an aggregated volumetric video that indicates the one or more user actions of the user and the one or more user actions of the other users. a further updated holographic projection based on the aggregated volumetric video is displayed.
