Abstract
A system and method for immersive telecommunications communication by tracking the movement of objects and/or persons with sensors. Movement tracking is then used to animate an avatar that represents the person or object. Movement may be tracked in real time, which at least reduces latency of communication. The sensors comprise any type of movement sensor which may be attached to a person and/or object for tracking motion, including but not limited to, an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), an accelerometer, a gyroscope or other such sensors.
Claims23
A system for transmitting animations, the system comprising a transmitting user computational device, a recipient user computational device, a server gateway and computer network, wherein said transmitting user computational device, said recipient user computational device and said server gateway communicate through said computer network;
- the system further comprising a plurality of movement sensors for being attached to a moving entity and wherein said sensors transmit sensor data regarding movements of said moving entity through said transmitting user computational device to said server gateway;
- said server gateway comprising an animation engine for analyzing said sensor data to determine a plurality of movements of said moving entity as animation instructions;
- said recipient user computational device receiving said animation instructions and animating an avatar according to said animation instructions.
A method for facilitating non-verbal communication through a plurality of user computational devices and a plurality of motion sensors attached to a plurality of limbs, or a combination of said plurality of limbs and at least one other body part, of each user associated with said plurality of user computational devices, comprising transmitting user movements from said plurality of motion sensors through a first user computational device to a server, and creating animations of said user movements at a second user computational device from rendering information received from said server.
A system for transmitting animations to a recipient user, the system comprising a plurality of movement sensors, a recipient user computational device, a server gateway and computer network, wherein said movement sensors, said recipient user computational device and said server gateway communicate through said computer network;
- wherein said plurality of movement sensors are adapted to be attached to a moving entity, and wherein said sensors transmit sensor data regarding movements of said moving entity to said server gateway.
