Abstract
Some examples provide a kiosk for recording audio and video of an individual and producing audiovisual files from the recorded data. The kiosk can be an enclosed booth with a plurality of recording devices. For example, the kiosk can include multiple cameras, microphones, and sensors for capturing video, audio, movement, and other behavioral data of an individual. The video and audio data can be combined to create audiovisual files for a video interview. Behavioral data can be captured by the sensors in the kiosk and can be used to supplement the video interview, allowing the system to analyze subtle factors of the candidate's abilities and temperament that are not immediately apparent from viewing the individual in the video and listening to the audio.

1-27. (canceled)
A kiosk comprising:
- a. a booth comprising:
- i. an enclosing wall forming a perimeter of the booth and defining a booth interior;
- A. wherein the enclosing wall extends between a bottom of the enclosing wall and a top of the enclosing wall;
- B. wherein the enclosing wall comprises:
- a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall;
- C. wherein the first side wall and the second side wall extend from the front wall to the back wall;
- D. wherein the perimeter is at least 14 feet (4.3 meters) and not more than 80 feet (24.4 meters);
- ii. a chair disposed in the interior of the booth, wherein the chair comprises a seat surface, wherein the chair is approximately centered with respect to the back wall in a first position, wherein the chair is moveable;
- iii. a first camera, a second camera, and a third camera for taking video images, each of the cameras aimed toward the booth interior, wherein the first camera, the second camera, and the third camera are disposed adjacent to the front wall;
- iv. a first microphone for capturing audio data of sound in the booth interior, wherein the microphone is disposed within the booth interior;
- v. a first depth sensor and a second depth sensor for capturing behavioral data, wherein the first depth sensor is configured to detect changes in foot position and the second depth sensor is configured to detect changes in torso position,
- A. wherein the first depth sensor and the second depth sensor are aimed toward the booth interior;
- B. wherein the first depth sensor is mounted on the first side wall or on the second side wall, and the second depth sensor is mounted on the back wall at a height above a height of the seat surface when the chair is in the first position;
- C. wherein video images, behavioral data, and audio data are captured simultaneously;
- vi. a first user interface for showing a video of a user, prompting the user to answer interview questions, or prompting the user to demonstrate a skill,
- b. an edge server connected to the first camera, the second camera, the third camera, the first depth sensor, the second depth sensor, the first microphone, and the first user interface, wherein the edge server comprises an edge server non-transitory computer memory and an edge server processor in data communication with the first camera, the second camera, the third camera, the first depth sensor, the second depth sensor, and the first microphone;
- wherein computer instructions are stored on the computer memory for instructing the edge server processor to perform the steps of:
- i. capturing first video input of the user from the first camera, second video input of the user from the second camera, third video input of the user from the third camera, wherein the first video input, the second video input and the third video input are of a first length,
- ii. capturing behavioral depth sensor data input from the first depth sensor and the second depth sensor,
- iii. capturing audio input of the user from the first microphone,
- iv. selecting a portion of interest of the first video input, the second video input, or the third video input based on the simultaneously recorded behavioral data input,
- v. concatenating portions of the first video input, second video input and third video input to create an audiovisual file, wherein the audiovisual file includes the portion of interest of video input, wherein the audiovisual file is of a second length, wherein the second length is shorter than the first length, and
- vi. sending the audiovisual file to a network.
