Enterprise communication display systems enable life-like images for videoconferencing and entertainment productions. Life-like images appear in a 3D environment where imaged people are visible through specially configured see-through displays. Imaged people can be viewed amongst a reflected foreground. Methods for enterprise-wide deployments for corporate, healthcare, education, theater which includes cinema and government communications, including hotel properties and a property management system are shown. Direct projection see-through screen configurations are created that eliminate unwanted secondary images in the room, conceal exposed projector lenses, reduce lens flare, makes practical multi-use room installations, images conferees among a room environment, enables touch screen interactivity, and utilizes extreme and other types of short throw projectors to reduce cost and bulk of common throw projectors. Of these transparent screens inventive configurations of substantially invisible mesh screens for both front and rear projection are described. Further, transparent LCDs are inventively configured to enable imaged life-size persons for videoconferencing in numerous configurations including with the light source removed from the LCD and placed away from the imaged persons. Further, display and camera configurations are revealed that improves the videoconferencing experience.

A method for conducting a three dimensional (3D) video conference between multiple participants, the method may include acquiring visual information, by a visual sensing unit related to a certain participant; identifying multiple persons that appear in the visual information; finding, out of the multiple persons, at least one relevant person; determining 3D entity representation information, for each of the at least one relevant person; and generating, for at least one participant, a representation of a virtual 3D video conference environment, based on the 3D entity representation information for each of the at least one relevant person.

Enterprise communication display systems enable life-like images for videoconferencing and entertainment productions. Life-like images appear in a 3D environment where imaged people are visible through the use of specially configured see-through displays. Imaged people can also be viewed amongst a reflected foreground. A dual mode large high-resolution display is inventively configured for watching and working. Methods for enterprise wide deployments for corporate, healthcare, education, and government communications, including hotel properties and a property management system are shown. The invention further discloses an online production system for large events. A remote production staff collaborates and controls a presentation with large scale audio/visual equipment. A campaign and marketing system for holographic communications using mobile vehicles is disclosed. Further, a consumer created camera housing process, furniture systems to accommodate ultra HD displays, and a device for viewing multiple video sources on an ultra HD display within an immersive workspace is disclosed.

A user's eye gaze is corrected in a video of the user's face. Each of a plurality of templates comprises a different image of an eye of the user looking directly at the camera. Every frame of at least one continuous interval of the video is modified to replace each of the user's eyes with that of a respective template selected for that frame, whereby the user is perceived to be looking directly at the camera in the modified frames. Different templates are selected for different frames of the continuous interval so that the user's eyes exhibit animation throughout the continuous interval.

A user's eye gaze is corrected in a video of the user's face. A facial tracking module is configured, in an active tracking mode, to track at least one angular coordinate of the user's face and to output a current value of the at least one angular coordinated that is within a range of possible values. Frames of the video are modified to correct the eye gaze of the user, whereby the user is perceived to be looking directly at the camera in the modified frames, only when the tracking module is in the active tracking mode and the current value is within a restricted subrange of the range of possible values for which the user's face is oriented towards the camera.

A technique is disclosed for automatic switching of a mobile device between a videoconference operating mode and a teleconference operating mode, where the automatic switching is based on a detected functional use and current position of the device in relation to a user of the device. In at least some embodiments, the disclosed technology includes a video-audio switching system that works in coordination with a sensor mechanism associated with the device to enable the automatic switching. The technology disclosed herein enables the user to carry out a conversation via the device (i.e., conference session) without interruption when transitioning between different settings, (e.g., using the device while sitting at an office to using it while on-the-go to an appointment).

The disclosed computer-implemented method for facilitating eye contact during video conferences may include (1) detecting a video conference between a user of a computing device and a remote user of a remote computing device, (2) identifying a location on the computing device's screen where the eyes of the remote user are displayed as part of the video conference, (3) creating a video stream of the user that appears to be taken from the perspective of an imaginary camera located at the eyes of the remote user, and (4) transmitting the video stream of the user to the remote computing device of the remote user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

An electronic device includes a housing including a 1st surface that faces in a 1st direction, and a 2nd surface that faces in a 2nd direction opposite to the 1st direction, a display disposed between the transparent plate and the 2nd surface of the housing, and including a 1st surface that faces in the 1st direction and a 2nd surface that faces in the 2nd direction, at least one sensor disposed between the 2nd surface of the display and the 2nd surface of the housing, a processor electrically coupled with the display and the at least one sensor, and a memory electrically coupled with the processor. The memory stores instructions and the processor is configured to execute the instructions to enable the display during 1st time periods, and disable at least a part of the display during at least a part of 2nd time periods, and enable the at least one sensor.

Systems and methods for superimposing the human elements of video generated by computing devices, wherein a first user device and second user device capture and transmit video to a central server which analyzes the video to identify human elements, superimposes these human elements upon one another, and transmits the newly created superimposed video back to at least one of the user devices.

Enterprise communication display systems enable proportional life-like images of people for videoconferencing and for entertainment productions. Life-like images are made possible by appearing in a 3D environment which may be the actual real 3D physical space of a room where imaged people are seen amongst a real environment with the use of see-through displays. People may also be viewed amongst a reflected foreground without the use of inclined reflective optics. A dual mode use large high-resolution display is configured for watching and working modes. A nano stem camera device for improved eye contact is detailed. The present invention also discloses methods for enterprise wide deployments for corporate, healthcare, education, and government communications, including hotel properties integrated with a property management system. Guest experiences are enhanced by videoconferencing theatrical stages, reception desks, personal wrist displays, smart doors, business center conferencing, public space digital signage, and hotel room videoconferencing.
