Systems and methods for displaying video from a remote beacon device

A user device configured to display video, the user device comprising:

• a processor;
• a display in communication with the processor;
• a first motion accelerometer in communication with the processor;
• a second motion accelerometer in communication with the processor;
• a wireless transceiver in communication with the processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform processing comprising:
• detect a beacon, the beacon in proximity with the user device;
• receive direction information from the first motion accelerometer;
• receive position information from the second motion accelerometer
• detect a first orientation of the user device, the first orientation indicating a direction of the user device;
• detect a second orientation of the user device, the second orientation indicating a position of the user device;
• receive beacon location information, the beacon location information indicating a beacon location;
• compare the first orientation and the second orientation to the beacon location information;
• based on the comparison of the first orientation and the second orientation to the beacon location information, create a connection to the beacon;
• receive video from the beacon;
• display a first window on a display of the user device, the first window comprising video received from the user device;
• display a second window on the display of the user device, the second window comprising video received from the beacon,
• detect a third orientation of the user device by the first motion accelerometer, the third orientation indicating a new direction of the user device;
• detect a fourth orientation of the user device by the second motion accelerometer, the fourth orientation indicating a new position of the user device;
• compare the third orientation and the fourth orientation to the beacon location information;
• and
• based on the comparison of the third orientation and the fourth orientation to the beacon location information, close the displayed second window,
• wherein the second window is smaller than the first window.

A method for displaying video on a user device placed on a user's head comprising:

• detecting a beacon, the beacon in proximity with the user device, the beacon further associated with a camera;
• detecting, by a sensor, the presence of the user's head in proximity to the user device;
• detecting an orientation of the user device by one or more motion accelerometers, the orientation indicating a first direction of the user device;
• receiving beacon location information, the beacon location information indicating a beacon location;
• comparing the orientation to the beacon location information;
• detecting an updated orientation of the user device by the one or more motion accelerometers, the updated orientation indicating second direction of the user device;
• comparing the updated orientation to the beacon location information;
• based on comparing the updated orientation to the beacon location information, creating a connection to the beacon;
• requesting, by the user device, video from the camera, the video captured by the camera;
• receiving the video captured by the camera;
• and
• displaying the video captured by the camera in a displayed window on a display of the user device;
• detecting, by the user device, a user gesture comprising a zoom-in gesture;
• based on identifying the user gesture, changing the video displayed in the window to zoom-in;
• detecting a second updated orientation of the user device by the one or more motion accelerometers, the second updated orientation indicating a third direction of the user device;
• comparing the second updated orientation to the beacon location information;
• based on comparing the second updated orientation to the beacon location information, closing the window on the display of the user device.
