Abstract
This proprietary electronic interface receives tracker information via commercially existing Head Mount Display Units (HMD). It calculates and manipulates this information through a sophisticated software algorithm (burned into the CPU of the interface). The information is converted into a readable form that can serveas an advanced electronic switch to control real-time/off-line video source and electronic relays.
Description
215572~
Specification The invention (VR EM-CEE) relates to electronic switching of real-time/off-line systems (i.e. multiple live telecast signals, switching between multiple VCR
signals, switching between multiple CD signals, or any other existing playback system real-time or otherwise) via commercially existing head mount display units (HMD's) that are currently used extensively in the virtual reality field.
Most virtual reality systems and products offer standard tracking with computer based controls. VR EM-CEE exceeds these limits by offering video tracking capabilities. With this feature, VR EM-CEE can produce real-time/pre-recorded trackable scenes such as race cars, sky-diving, ski-slopes, sports, music videos, travel vacations, and unlimited adventures or fantasies. For example, you are watching a pre-recorded concert video wearing a head mount display unit (HMD) as if you were sitting front row center, moving your head from side to side, watching the stage and the action from different angles, while all along enjoying stereophonic sound. Another example is you are sitting in a bar or your own living room in Montreal, Canada wearing a head mount display (HMD) viewing a live concert event taking place in Paris. You are moving your head from side to side watching the stage and the action from different angles, as if you were right there sitting front row center, while all along enjoying stereophonic sound.
We have found that most people will enjoy a complete experience if the individual were given the liberty while viewing a video to manipulate his/her environment by simply changing the angle at which they are viewing the scene.
This tracking ability of a video greatly enhances ones appreciation for the event.
21~724 The following refers to figure 1:
Item 1 The HMD with tracker serves as an immersive viewing apparatus giving wide field of vision through a simulated projection screen, whose apparent size is approximately 80 inches. The tracker transmits data in order to control viewing position by controlling yaw, pitch, roll, and displacement.
Item 2 The invention (VR EM-CEE) receives tracker information from the HMD (while displaying visual's for the viewer) and electronically manipulates this information via a proprietary program burnt into the CPU of the invention. It outputs signals that can either trigger different angles of view by manipulating the control mechanism (such as a joystick) if real-time (live) video signals are used as inputs (see item 3), or control different angles of view (using the same conceptas above) if off-line (pre-recorded) video sources (see item 4) are used as inputs.
Item 3 A series of real-time video sources, such as three video cameras positioned strategically to cover 172 of viewing area. Real-time video inputs are live video inputs.
Item 4 A series of off-line (pre-recorded) play back systems, such as a digital CD player, video game, or cable television.
Item 5 Control mechanisms (joystick, video switcher, or any commercially available switching system) used to manipulate the functionality in switching real-time and pre-recorded sources.
