System and method for augmented reality multi-view telepresence

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions operative, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• select, based on first location information and second location information, a camera from an array of cameras at a first location,
• wherein the camera is configured to provide a line-of-sight video view of a first participant to display to a second participant,
• wherein the first participant is at the first location and the second participant is at a second location, and
• wherein the first location information comprises physical location information associated with the first participant and the second location information comprises physical location information associated with the second participant;
• and
• transmit, to the second location, a first video stream,
• wherein the first video stream comprises the line-of-sight video view of the first participant captured by the camera selected.

A system comprising:

• a camera array device comprising a plurality of cameras;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions operative, when executed by the processor, to cause the system to:
• determine physical location information associated with a first user and a second user;
• select, based on the location information, a camera from the array of cameras,
• wherein the selected camera is configured to provide a line-of-sight video view of the first user to display to the second user;
• and
• transmit a first video stream,
• wherein the first video stream comprises the line-of-sight video view of the first user captured by the selected camera.
