Patent ID: 11363240

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for augmented reality multi-view telepresence. An embodiment takes the form of a method that includes obtaining a session geometry of a multi-location telepresence session that includes a first-location participant at a first location and a second-location participant at a second location, each location having respective pluralities of cameras and display segments. The method includes selecting, according to the session geometry, both a first-to-second-viewpoint second-location camera from the plurality of second-location cameras as well as a first-to-second-viewpoint first-location display segment from the plurality of first-location display segments. The method includes receiving a first-to-second-viewpoint video stream captured by the selected first-to-second-viewpoint second-location camera, and further includes generating a line-of-sight augmented-reality experience for the multi-location telepresence session at least in part by rendering the received first-to-second-viewpoint video stream via the selected first-to-second-viewpoint first-location display segment.
