Abstract
An image is displayed using anamorphic video. A first portion of an image is displayed on a display at a first scale. At least one second portion of the image is displayed on the display. The at least one second portion is adjacent the first portion of the image. The second portion is displayed at a second scale higher than the first scale.
Claims49
A robotic telepresence system, comprising:
- a station at a first geographic location, the station having a display;
- and
- a robot at a second geographic location, wherein the robot is responsive to the station, senses predetermined types of information, and communicates that information back to the station, the robot including:
- at least one first sensor to sense first image information;
- and
- at least one second sensor to sense second image information, wherein the robot transmits the sensed information from the at least one first sensor and from the at least tone second sensor to the station;
- wherein the first image information from the at least one first sensor is displayed on the display at a first scale, and
- the second image information from the at least one second sensor is displayed on the display, the second image information being displayed adjacent the first image information, wherein at least a portion of the second image information is displayed at a second scale higher than the first scale.

A robotic telepresence system, comprising:
- a station at a first geographic location, the station having a display;
- and
- a robot at a second geographic location, wherein the robot is responsive to the station, senses predetermined types of information, and communicates that information back to the station, the robot including:
- at least one first sensor to sense first image information at a predetermined high resolution level;
- and
- at least one second sensor to sense second image information at a predetermined low resolution level, wherein the robot transmits the sensed information from the at least one first sensor and from the at least one second sensor to the station;
- wherein the first image information from the at least one first sensor is displayed on the display at a first scale, and
- the second image information from the at least one second sensor is displayed on the display, the second image information being displayed adjacent the first image information, wherein at least a portion of the second image information is displayed at a second scale higher than the first scale.

A robotic telepresence system, comprising:
- a user station at a first geographic location, the user station being responsive to a user and communicating information to and from the user, the user station having a user display;
- and
- a robot at a second geographic location, wherein the robot is responsive to the user station, provides an image of the user transmitted from the user station, senses predetermined types of information, and communicates that information back to the user station, the robot including:
- at least one first sensor to sense first image information at a predetermined high resolution level;
- and
- at least one second sensor to sense second image information at a predetermined low resolution level, wherein the robot transmits the sensed information from the at least one first sensor and from the at least one second sensor to the user station;
- wherein the first image information from the at least one first sensor is displayed on the user display at a first scale, and
- the second image information from the at least one second sensor is displayed on the user display, the second image information being displayed adjacent the first image information, wherein at least a portion of the second image information is displayed at a second scale higher than the first scale.
