Patent ID: 10447966

Abstract:
A support apparatus with adjustable mechanisms hold a spherical field-of-regard image and audio sensor assembly located at its distal end in front of a user's face such that the user's fine focus field-of-view of the foreground is not blocked by the mast or the sensor assembly. Automated mechanisms rotate and extend the armature and sensor assembly into position for face-to-face panoramic hands-free video teleconferencing, gaming, or logging. A portable wired or wireless host electronic device with a personal assistant application and sensor correlation system interactively communicates with support apparatus circuitry and servos, imagery, audio, eye and ROI tracking, neural, and user input and feedback systems to orchestrate responses to a local remote user. A sensor assembly includes a VLSIC multi-ROI processing system with integrated camera and display that hides the assembly and provides information to the user or onlooker.
