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 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, 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 short throw projectors to reduce cost and bulk of common throw projectors. Further, a multi-format VR/AR production system is disclosed enabling several formats to be created simultaneously. Further, a camera through a transparent OLED for eye contact videoconferencing is disclosed. Additionally, an imaged map projected interior environment that produces the rooms ambient light is disclosed.

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. Also, the present invention is an integrated device operating as a fully functional personal computer with a module bay which receives a videoconferencing module to enable a videoconference. The integrated terminal is also uniquely configured for both a single user mode and a group videoconferencing mode.

摘要： A teleconferencing system that allows for natural eye contact between conferees is provided. The system comprises two or more terminals which are connected to allow a teleconference to occur. Each terminal comprises a screen to display an image of the remote conferee and a video camera to transmit an image of the local conferee to the remote screen. The video camera is conveniently located above the screen, beyond the perimeter of the image. Microphones and speakers are also provided to allow the conferees to hear as well as speak to one another. Eye contact is provided, despite the mounting of the camera above eye level, by image manipulating the image of a conferee to remove any distortion caused by camera placement and to redirect the apparent direction of the conferee's gaze. Image manipulation can also simulate zooming, tilting and panning of the camera by expanding that portion of the camera field that frames the conferee to fill the entire screen and by keeping the conferee's image so centered in spite of movement by the conferee.

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 beamsplitter for reflecting an image of a conferee. In one embodiment the image of the conferee appears to be in a backdrop. The display is positioned behind the viewing side of the beam-splitter so that the conferee views the display 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 apparently sitting on the other side of the desk or table—creating the experience of telepresence with eye contact. Additional embodiments include adaptable features of the present invention which enable it to be configured into many specific types of eye contact display products. The invention further teaches the design of a telepresence network, linking numerous terminals sharing a commonality in configuration. The invention also includes many additional versatility embodiments for desktop and group videoconferencing, as well as other videoconferencing applications.
