Abstract
Methods and systems are described herein for improved techniques for consuming and interacting with media content. Specifically, the media guidance application may generate holographic animations that move from a holographic structure from which a user has selected a media asset and direct the user to a display device capable of presenting the media asset. For example, in response to a user selecting a baseball movie from a holographic bookcase, the media guidance application may generate for display a holographic baseball that is “thrown” from the bookcase to a television that will present the baseball movie.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- determining that a user is viewing three-dimensional holographic content generated for display at a location in a physical space by a display device, wherein the location in the physical space is separate from a screen of the display device;
- determining a visual focus point of the user on a portion of the three-dimensional holographic content using at least two optical sensors arranged to form a stereo vision system for obtaining a three-dimensional position of the user's eyes;
- detecting that the visual focus point of the user shifts away from the portion of the three-dimensional holographic content using the at least two optical sensors;
- and
- moving the three-dimensional holographic content within the physical space to account for the shifted visual focus point, wherein a new location of the three-dimensional holographic content is separate from the screen of the display device.
A system comprising
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine that a user is viewing three-dimensional holographic content generated for display at a location in a physical space by a display device, wherein the location in the physical space is separate from a screen of the display device;
- determine a visual focus point of the user on a portion of the three-dimensional holographic content by using at least two optical sensors arranged to form a stereo vision system for obtaining a three-dimensional position of the user's eyes;
- detect that the visual focus point of the user shifts away from the portion of the three-dimensional holographic content using the at least two optical sensors;
- and
- move the three-dimensional holographic content within the physical space to account for the shifted visual focus point, wherein a new location of the three-dimensional holographic content is separate from the screen of the display device.
