Patent ID: 8218002

Claim:
A method comprising: providing an encoded light control signal from storage on a storage medium, said encoded light control signal comprising successive computer generated images made for passive viewing, and transmitting said encoded light control signal over a network to at least one device for decoding said light control signal and for controlling light, in response to said decoded light control signal, for providing said successive computer generated images in an image space to a viewer in a passive role in viewing said successive computer generated images, said successive computer generated images presented with a point of view having a translatory position and an orientation with respect to a frame of reference of said image space, said presented point of view of said computer generated images corresponding to a changing point of view of images acquired in an object space by an image acquisition device sensed changing in translatory position and orientation during three dimensional navigation of said image acquisition device in said object space with respect to a frame of reference of said object space, said image acquisition device navigated in said object space by a person free to move about in said object space with said image acquisition device while acting as a cameraman, said frame of reference of said image space corresponding to said frame of reference of said object space, said presented point of view of said successive computer generated images correspondingly changing in said translatory position and orientation with respect to said frame of reference of said image space corresponding to said sensed changes in translatory position and orientation of said image acquisition device with respect to said frame of reference of said object space.
