Method and system for multi-modal event recreation

A device, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• receiving an instruction to produce an electronic recreation of a past event, wherein the past event occurred at a venue during a span of time;
• identifying in a database a plurality of stored image files that had been captured by a plurality of cameras, wherein the plurality of stored image files comprises a first image file that had been captured at the venue at a first time that at least partially overlaps the span of time and a second image file that had been captured at the venue at a second time that at least partially overlaps the span of time;
• obtaining, from the database, the first image file and the second image file;
• and
• generating, using at least a first image of a first person who is pictured in the first image file and at least a second image of a second person who is pictured in the second image file, the electronic recreation of the past event.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first device that is located in a vicinity of a first event, first image capture data, wherein the first event occurred at a first geographic location;
• receiving, from a second device that is located in a vicinity of a second event, second image capture data, wherein the second event occurred at a second geographic location;
• receiving, from a third device that is located in the vicinity of the second event, third image capture data;
• storing each of the first, second, and third image capture data in a database, wherein the first image capture data is stored in the database in association with the first event at the first geographic location, wherein the second image capture data is stored in the database in association with the second event at the second geographic location, and wherein the third image capture data is stored in the database in association with the second event at the second geographic location;
• receiving a request to create an electronic representation of the second event;
• responsive to the request, selecting, as selected image capture data, the second image capture data and the third image capture data, wherein the second and third image capture data are selected based upon being stored in the database in association with the second event at the second geographic location;
• responsive to the selecting, retrieving the selected image capture data from the database;
• generating, based upon the selected image capture data that is retrieved from the database, the electronic representation of the second event, wherein the electronic representation of the second event comprises at least a first portion from the second image capture data and at least a second portion from the third image capture data;
• and
• outputting the electronic representation of the second event that is generated.
