Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying video is provided herein. During operation, video is displayed on one of many displays in a geographically correct fashion. For example, in an embodiment involving two displays (e.g., on a firefighter's two wrists), each of which display a video feed, the video is displayed such that the video feed of the most appropriate scene (not necessarily the video feed of the closest camera) is shown on that display.
Claims20
A method for a display device to display a field of view (FOV) captured by a camera, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving the FOV from the a camera;
- determining a location of the FOV captured by the camera;
- determining an orientation of the display device;
- determining the position of the display device with respect to other display devices;
- and
- determining whether or not to display the FOV received from the camera based on the location of the FOV, the orientation of the display device, and the position of the display device with respect to the other display devices.
A method for a display device to display a FOV, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving multiple field of views (FOVs) from multiple cameras;
- determining locations of the FOVs captured by the multiple cameras;
- determining an orientation of the display device;
- determining the position of the display device with respect to other display devices;
- and
- determining what FOV to display based on the location of the FOV, the orientation of the display device, and the position of the display device with respect to the other display devices.
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver receiving multiple field of views (FOVs) from multiple cameras;
- context-aware circuitry determining an orientation of the display device;
- and
- logic circuitry determining locations of the FOVs captured by the multiple cameras, determining the position of the display device with respect to other display devices, and determining what FOV to display based on the location of the FOV, the orientation of the display device, and the position of the display device with respect to the other display devices.
