Abstract
Apparatus and method for using light fields for virtual visualization and virtual navigation.
Claims20
A system for virtual visualization of a real space comprising:
- a User Member with a user interface comprising a display, wherein said User Member is connected to an Active Network hosted by computing resources to enable a virtual visualization infrastructure for a real space comprising a plurality of Sources, wherein said infrastructure is enabled by an internet with at least one digital communications protocol;
- a plurality of Source Members, each comprising at least one of said Sources each comprising one or more cameras:
- wherein one or more of said cameras on at least one Source Member are enabled to construct an at least one Source Member Light Field;
- wherein each of the Sources are at Source Points;
- wherein said Source Points are configured to move;
- wherein the Network derives Source physical location information through their respective Source Members in the Network;
- wherein locations of each of said Sources is determined by the Active Network;
- wherein said system is configured to deconstruct and reconstruct said light field to at least one of:
- synthesize at least one field of view at a location of a Synthetic Source Point distinct from a location of any of the Sources;
- construct a 3D visualization;
- and construct a field of view of a selected Source with reconstructed occluded regions;
- Wherein said Active Network is configured to generate an aggregate light field from said cameras located at each of said Source points configured to generate light fields from one or more of said Sources;
- wherein said aggregate light field is configured to provide visual stimuli to the User comprising at least one of fields of view of a selected Source with reconstructed occluded regions, field of view of a Synthetic Source, 3D visualization.
10 more elements
A System for Virtual Visualization, with Sources and Users, wherein one or more of said Sources are mobile phones and are supported by their Source Members that are adapted to be supported by a human users wherein said support is adapted to reorient the light field incident on the Source cameras in a desired direction while allowing the human User to view the screen of the mobile phone as a User of the Navigation system.
