Abstract
Systems and methods for using a digital overlay screen during a video telecommunication. The digital overlay screen comprises content, such as notes or a script, which a presenter may reference during said video telecommunication. The digital overlay screen may tether to an underlying network conferencing program or a video captured from an image capturing device of a user's device. The digital overlay screen is arranged relative to the image capturing device such that the presenter can review the content therein while simultaneously establishing and maintaining a line of sight with the device. The digital overlay screen may overlay on a video feed of the telecommunications without distorting said feed, and without being transmitted or visible to third party recipients of the presentation.
Claims16
A digital overlay system comprising:
- a user device in communication with a network conferencing program, the user device comprising at least one processor coupled with a memory, wherein the user device is configured to output a first user interface;
- a video feed captured by an image capturing device and configured to be displayed on the first user interface;
- and
- an application stored on the user device that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to generate a digital overlay screen, wherein the digital overlay screen is configured to be displayed on the first user interface and at least partially superimpose the video feed;
- and
- wherein the image capturing device comprises a camera display configured to capture the video feed, wherein the digital overlay screen is further configured to tether to the camera display to create an appearance in the video feed that a user is maintaining eye contact with the image capturing device while reading or viewing digital content displayed on the digital overlay screen.
A method for rendering a presentation with a digital overlay screen, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, a video feed from an image capturing device;
- outputting to the user device, by at least one processor coupled with a memory storing and executing an application, a first user interface comprising the video feed and a digital overlay screen with digital content;
- capturing, by a camera display of the image capturing device, the video feed;
- and
- tethering the digital overlay screen to the camera display to create an appearance in the video feed that a user is maintaining eye contact with the image capturing device while reading or viewing the digital content,
- wherein the digital overlay screen is configured to be at least partially superimposed on the video feed.
