A viewing system provides a viewing user with an experience of viewing a content that presents a character whose behaviors are controlled based on physical motions of a performer, the content being a binocular stereopsis content that presents staging in a 3D space in which a first character associated with a first performer and a second character associated with a second performer are arranged. The first character is arranged in a first region in the space, a viewpoint associated with the viewing user and the second character are arranged in a second region in the space. The system controls behaviors of the first character based on first motion information of the first performer, and controls behaviors of the second character based on at least one of second motion information of the second performer and information of an operational input performed by the viewing user.

Lenticular lens assembly for attachment to a display area

The invention relates to a prefabricated lenticular lens assembly (10) for attachment to a display area (100), having: a lenticular lens layer (14) comprising a first surface (20) having a plurality of curved lens portions (22) and a second surface (18) facing away from the first surface (20); a cover layer (12) which faces the first surface (20) of the lens layer (14) at least in some regions; a carrier layer (16) which faces a second surface (18) of the lens layer (14) at least in some regions;
wherein the lenticular lens layer (14), the cover layer (12) and the carrier layer (16) are already at least indirectly connected to each other before the assembly (10) is attached to the display area (100).

The invention further relates to a method for producing a lenticular lens assembly (10).

Described are various embodiments of a multiview system, method and display for rendering multiview content, and viewer localisation system, method and device therefor. In one embodiment, a multiview system is operable to interface with a mobile device of a given viewer, and comprises: a MultiView Display (MVD); a network-interfacing content-controller; one or more emitters disposed and operable to emit a respectively encoded time-variable emission in each of distinct viewing directions; and a mobile application operable on the mobile device of the given user to capture a given one of the encoded time-variable emissions when the mobile device is located so to intersect a corresponding one of the distinct directions so to self-identify the mobile device as being substantially in line with a corresponding one of the distinct viewing directions.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving content that includes a 360-degree video, determining that guidance is enabled with respect to the content, obtaining an input responsive to determining that the guidance is enabled, and obtaining the guidance with respect to a playback of the content, where the obtained guidance is based on the input. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method, device, and non-transitory storage medium for generating crowdsourced holographic views are provided. The method may include receiving one or more images of a same scene from one or more imaging devices, wherein each of the one or more imaging devices is at different locations. The method may further include generating a 3D model of the same scene based on the one or more images and streaming immersive media for rendering a holographic display of the same scene based on the 3D model based on determining that a display device is capable of displaying immersive media.

A method and system of generating an image of a subject from the viewpoint of a virtual camera includes obtaining a plurality of source images of a subject and pose data for each source camera or cameras that captured the source images. Virtual camera pose data is also obtained indicating a pose of a virtual camera relative to the subject. Each source image is distorted based on a difference in pose of the corresponding source camera and the pose of the virtual camera. A weighting is determined for each distorted image based on a similarity between the pose of the corresponding source camera and the pose of the virtual camera. The distorted images are then blended together in accordance with the weightings to form an image of the subject from the viewpoint of the virtual camera.
