The invention is a process which enables presentation of a first content at an event on a display means while concurrently dubbing a second content into a video airing of said display means. Thus onsite observers at the event see said first content on the said display means while concurrent observers of the event on television see the said second content which appears to be part of the actual onsite scenery. Steps in the process included first; providing a means for identifying a real world area to be defined as an engrained field, then creating the ingrained field within a first video stream, providing a second video stream (or image), and of injecting said second video stream or image into the ingrained field of the first video stream and thereby producing a third video stream. These steps can be done automatically and nearly concurrently in real-time for live broadcasting of sporting events for example. In a preferred embodiment, the invention can be used to provide segmented advertisements that appear to be at live events.
An advertising process wherein a real world space is designated as virtual advertising space, wherein a means is provided to determine that said designated real world space is to be coded as virtual advertising space, wherein a video capturing means is provided to produce a first video information stream of the scene containing said real world space, wherein an advertisement content is dubbed over the said virtual advertising space resulting in an advertisement ingrained within a resultant video stream.
A means of designating a real world space as a space which is to be automatically dubbed over, wherein a video capturing means which produces an information stream describing the scene containing said space is provided, and wherein the presence of said space is engrained within said information stream.
A video dubbing process wherein;
A method of defining a field within a scene that is to be dubbed over, wherein a means to emit invisible electromagnetic radiation defining said field is provided, and a means to sense said invisible electromagnetic radiation is provided.
A video camera for sensing automatically dub-able areas within a scene wherein said automatically dub-able areas are designated by invisible electromagnetic energy and wherein said camera senses said invisible electromagnetic radiation.
