摘要： 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 events. Further, a black void illusion is described and is applicable to numerous displays including event and live theater stages and movie theaters. Numerous inventive features are described enabling and advancing the black void illusion. Virtual stage lighting is disclosed for simulating stage lights and coordination of virtual stage lights with real stage lights for live and recorded performances.

摘要： 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.

摘要： The present invention enables eye contact between conferees during a teleconference using a terminal equipped with a beam-splitter. The camera is positioned behind the viewing side of the beam-splitter to capture the conferee's image through the beam-splitter. The reflection of the video display appears to be positioned in a room environment with common room objects, serving to associate the position of the reflection in the room environment. The transparent quality of the beamsplitter is used not only for capturing eye contact images from one direction, but also revealing the room environment by enabling the conferee to see-through the beamsplitter. The invention can be configured to create the appearance that a life-size teleconference image of a remote conferee appears in the same room as the local conferee viewing the reflection and appears to be sitting on the other side of the desk or table.

摘要： The present invention enables eye contact between conferees during a teleconference using a terminal equipped with a beamsplitter for reflecting an image of a video display so that only the reflection and not a direct view of the display is seen by the conferee. The camera is positioned behind the viewing side of the beamsplitter to capture the conferee's image through the beamsplitter. The direct view of the display is blocked by an image blocking film applied between the beamsplitter and the display. Blocking the direct view of the video display greatly improves teleconferencing by eliminating the distraction of simultaneously viewing both the video display and the reflection of the display. The present invention also substantially improves available desktop space, functional options by providing a direct view and a reflected view of the display, and portability.

摘要： A compact teleconferencing eye contact terminal that can be integrated with a multitude of image display devices. Eye contact is achieved between conferees who share similar eye contact terminals by the use of a uniquely configured integral beam-splitter. The beam-splitter is coated over all or part of its surface so that a region acts as a partially-silvered mirror. The beam-splitter is integral to a transparent substrate member that is configured with subtle curves that permit only a portion of its surface, forming the integral beam-splitter, to be angled at or near 45 degrees from the viewing surface of a display screen. By doing so, the angled portion forming the integral beam-splitter is seamlessly suspended in front of the viewing surface without interfering with the viewing. This uniquely configured beam-splitter permits image capturing without the great increase in depth of terminals or loss of display brightness necessitated by prior art eye contact systems employing partially-silvered mirrors.

摘要： A telepresence communication system for group meeting rooms and personal home and office systems provides improved human factor experience through substantially life size images with eye level camera placement. The system provides switched presence interfaces so that conferees can select when to transmit their images during a conference and optionally provides individual microphones for each of conferee. Switched presence between presets of conferees are viewed on multipoint windows overlaying life-size images upon eye contact camera regions and eliminate seeing camera image movement during pan, tilt and zoom operations. An ambient light rejecting filter system enables an eye level camera to be hidden behind a projection screen and provides bright, high contrast images under normal meeting room and office environments. A telepresence organizational enablement system brings all the features of a corporate office complex and its social and organizational benefits, into a virtual community eliminating the need to centralize employees.

摘要： 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.
