Abstract
A teleprompter system and method include use of a touch-screen interface positioned intermediate to the user and a camera such that the camera captures the user's image through a transparency of the touch-screen interface. The touch screen interface is coupled to a computer and is operably connected so as to enable user control and manipulation of interactive media content generated by the computer. A video mixing component integrates images captured by the camera with interactive media content generated by the computer, as may be manipulated by the user via the touch-screen interface, to generate a coordinated presentation. The coordinated presentation can be received by one or more remote devices. The remote devices can further interact with at least the interactive media content.
Claims20
A system comprising,
- a computing device configured by code and operable to generate interactive media content to be displayed on a display, the generated interactive media content comprising content curated by a user for interaction at one or more remote devices;
- a camera for capturing images of a user;
- a display coupled to the computing device that displays a first arrangement of all of the generated interactive media content;
- a touch-screen interface having a transparency positioned intermediate to the user and the camera and positioned such that the camera captures one or more images of the user through the transparency, the touch screen interface being coupled to the computing device and operable to enable selection and manipulation of a portion of the generated interactive media content that is displayed on the display, wherein the portion is less than all of the generated interactive media content;
- and
- a video mixer coupled to the camera and operative to integrate the one or more images of the user together with the portion of the generated-interactive media content as selected by the user via the touch-screen interface, thereby generating a coordinated presentation, the coordinated presentation comprising (a) a second arrangement comprising the portion of the generated interactive media content that is different from the first arrangement and integrated with the images captured by the camera by the video mixer module and (b) one or more hyperlinks, the one or more hyperlinks comprising at least one of (a) one or more hyperlinks that enable manipulation of the generated interactive media content at one or more remote devices, and (b) one or more hyperlinks that enable selection, at the one or more remote devices, of content other than the generated interactive media content;
- wherein the coordinated presentation is capable of transmission to and receipt by the one or more remote devices;
- and
- wherein the coordinated presentation is configured to enable interaction with the second arrangement including at least the portion of the generated interactive media content within the second arrangement at each of the remote devices such that results of a respective interaction at a particular remote device are viewable at the particular remote device but are not viewable at (a) other of the remote devices and (b) the display.

A system comprising,
- a computing device having a processor and a memory, the computing device being configured by code stored in the memory and executed by the processor to generate interactive media content to be displayed on a display, the generated interactive media content comprising content curated by a user for interaction at one or more remote devices;
- a camera for capturing one or more images;
- a display coupled to the computing device that displays a first arrangement of all of the generated interactive media content;
- a touch-screen interface coupled to the computing device and operable to enable selection and manipulation of a portion of the generated interactive media content that is displayed on the display, wherein the portion is less than all of the generated interactive media content;
- and
- a video mixer module stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, integrates the images captured by the camera together with the portion of the generated interactive media content as selected by the user via the touch-screen interface, and thereby generates a coordinated presentation, the coordinated presentation comprising a second arrangement comprising the portion of the generated interactive media content that is different from the first arrangement and integrated with the images captured by the camera by the video mixer module;
- wherein the coordinated presentation is capable of transmission to and receipt by the one or more remote devices;
- and
- wherein the coordinated presentation is configured to enable interaction with the second arrangement including at least the portion of the generated interactive media content within the second arrangement at each of the remote devices such that results of a respective interaction at a particular remote device are viewable at the particular remote device but are not viewable at (a) other of the remote devices and (b) the display.
