Stopping projector glow-through on transparent screens using horizontal microlouvers.
Enhancing microlouver glow-through protection by controlling ultra-short-throw-lens specifications.
Combining additive and subtractive production processes to adapt microlouvers to high-yield production
Direct bonding of microlouvers onto glass and other transparent panels
Mechanically and optically bonding micro-scale structures and enhancements to transparent (especially glass) screens both as protection and to eliminate sources of unwanted artifacts.
Avoiding optical artifacts (including moiré and interference patterns) in front-reflective glass screens by eliminating layered films when adding such optical enhancements as microlouvers and reflective micro- and nano-structures.
Front reflective efficiency enhancement using front treatments of microlouvers
Enhancing camera-compatible front reflective efficiency of glass screens by using metallized nanobead sizes smaller than camera pixel perception dimensions
Eliminating unwelcome visible artifacts when placing a video camera close to and behind variously treated transparent front-projection screens
Eliminating glass (or other medium) edge reflection artifacts in designing and deploying transparent front-projection screens
Optical design criteria for embracing finger-pointed image references in front-reflective projected displays on transparent screens without requiring digitization through electronic digitization or artificial-intelligence interpretation.
Methods for minimizing the visual impact (perceptibility) of a bezel surrounding a transparent screen.
Bezel/frame-mounted beamed illuminators
An add-on device for HDMI video connections to lock frame initiation to a studio genlock sync signal.
Latency elimination in systems that can composite synthetic images of added graphics with video camera images of its user.
Combining angular targeting with range limitations when deploying PIR sensors to front-projection screens to extend the period of viability of a projector’s illuminator(s).
Single-point calendar of scheduled virtual and/or practical meetings originating in multiple disparate software application sources.
Publishing or export of aggregated schedules originating from multiple application sources to one or more selected applications, utilities or other software or display assets.
Presentation of source-agnostic next-scheduled event information at the conclusion of a virtual and/or practical meeting,
Using coarse object-recognition AI to recognize whether a hand or a head dominates a current full or partial display view.
Applying hand versus head recognition to automatically track individual “show of hands” counts among the individual participants in virtual meetings.
Using real-time AI to recognize direct versus diverted eye contact.
Using the real-time recognition of direct versus diverted eye contact to score overall interest/engagement levels among the individual participants in virtual meetings.
Methods for displaying overall real-time group interest/engagement/attention levels.
Using real-time AI to recognize qualitative facial responses among virtual meeting participants to determine the aggregate of attitudes toward ongoing content
Methods for displaying the aggregate attitude of participants in virtual meetings in real time.
Presentation of left-right reversed “mirror image” video of a user as captured by a camera behind a transparent display screen showing only external graphics that are right-reading to the user results in a composite image of the user with those graphics appearing right-reading to those elsewhere seeing the composite image, and other relevant attributes.
Automatic video mirror-image presentation of a virtual meeting participant’s face immediately before a virtual meeting or video recording begins.
Automatic adjustment of one or more attributes of video images when compositing superimposed images for presentation to virtual meeting participants for default or user-specified effects.
Separation of video communicated to virtual meeting participants from video displayed to the local user through software.
Compositing through software the superimposition over other images of a presentation count-up timer and/or a count-down timer and/or a combination count-up/count-down timer so as not to be visible to other virtual meeting participants while fully visible on video displayed to the presenter.
Compositing through software the superimposition over other images of a current virtual meeting-duration count-up timer and/or a count-down timer and/or a combination count-up/count-down timer so as not to be visible to other virtual meeting participants while fully visible on video displayed to a local user.
Collecting, organizing and displaying a user’s next scheduled virtual meetings with date, time and choice of virtual meeting software to use, and optionally including a way to display next-meeting listings immediately following the end of a current meeting as a composited superimposition over a local display window that is fully visible to the user but not shown to other meeting participants.
The creation through software of machine-storable single-screen prepared presentations able to accommodate combinations of static and dynamic content available to that computer.
The creation through software of a library system for organizing and maintaining multiple machine-stored single-screen prepared presentations available to and callable from a user’s computer.
An authoring and editing system – optionally involving templates, versioning and assistive guidance – for conveying the appearance of single or multiple windows within single, unitized prepared presentation modules.
Automatic recognition and identification of circumstances where full- or partial-screen content within single-screen presentations will result in visual elements being too small to be easily perceived when presented on a secondary display.
Automatic preparation of thumbnail views of unitized or single-window prepared presentations.
Remotely controllable methods for selecting among prepared single-window, single-screen or otherwise unitized presentations for viewing beyond the user’s current computer display.
Using AI machine learning and other measures to reduce insertion errors like “scalp sizzle” when synthesizing background images for on-camera virtual meeting participants.
Using AI machine learning to provide realistic moving images of clothing items as motion-tracked synthesized visual replacements for the actual clothing of a virtual meeting participant.
Using transparent, embedded or otherwise unseen cameras within or in front of a display screen so that the act of viewing the screen inherently accomplishes direct eye contact.
Selective automatic forwarding by email of content viewed during online meeting, optional logging to CRM.
Determining through AI or other software mechanisms the number of virtual meeting participant endpoints providing face video within the total number of currently connected participant endpoints and/or among the subset with faces showing, the number showing approval, disapproval, neutrality or disinterest.
Single-point calendar of scheduled virtual and/or practical meetings originating in multiple disparate software application sources.
Automated creation and email or mobile messaging deployment of a friendly-tone recap of information presented during an online meeting, potentially including links to presentations available through online resources, links to interactive online forms, links to downloadable content, links to printable content, and QR or other codes providing access to additional resources, with optionally available integration into CRM or similar systems.
Measures and mechanisms for influencing the creation and scheduling of online meetings to reduce the scheduled duration of such meetings by 20% or more.
