Abstract
An interactive video display system. A display screen is for displaying a visual image for presentation to a user. A camera is for detecting an object in an interactive area located in front of the display screen, the camera operable to capture three-dimensional information about the object. A computer system is for directing the display screen to change the visual image in response to the object.
Claims28
An interactive video display system comprising:
- a display screen for displaying a visual image for presentation to a user;
- a first camera for detecting an object in an interactive area located in front of said display screen, said first camera operable to capture three-dimensional information about said object;
- a second camera for creating a second interactive area;
- and
- a computer system for directing said display screen to change said visual image in response to said object;
- wherein said first camera provides said computer system with three-dimensional information at a first frame rate and said second camera provides said computer system with two-dimensional information at a second frame rate, wherein said first frame rate is slower than said second frame rate, such that said computer system is operable to generate high quality three-dimensional information based on said three-dimensional information and said two-dimensional information.

A method for presenting an interactive visual image using an interactive video display system, said method comprising:
- displaying a visual image on a display screen, wherein said visual image is for presentation to a user on a front side of said display screen;
- detecting interaction of an object with said visual image using a three-dimensional camera, said three-dimensional camera operable to capture three-dimensional information about said object at a first frame rate;
- detecting interaction of said object with said visual image using an infrared camera, said infrared camera operable to capture two-dimensional information about said object at a second frame rate, wherein said first frame rate is slower than said second frame rate;
- generating high quality three-dimensional information based on said three-dimensional information and said two-dimensional information;
- and
- changing said visual image in response to said interaction.

An interactive video display system comprising:
- a display screen for displaying a visual image for presentation to a user;
- a time-of-flight camera for detecting an object in an interactive area located in front of said display screen, said time-of-flight camera operable to capture three-dimensional information about said object;
- an infrared camera for creating a second interactive area;
- and
- a computer system for directing said display screen to change said visual image in response to said object, wherein said three-dimensional information is for providing interactions of said object physically matched to a location on said display screen;
- wherein said time-of-flight camera provides said computer system with three-dimensional information at a first frame rate and said infrared camera provides said computer system with two-dimensional information at a second frame rate, wherein said first frame rate is slower than said second frame rate. such that said computer system is operable to generate high quality three-dimensional information based on said three-dimensional information and said two-dimensional information.
