Apparatus for adapting a presentation of media content according to a position of a viewing apparatus

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions, which when executed by a processor facilitate performance of operations comprising:

• transmitting a first infrared light signal to a first viewing apparatus;
• receiving first position information from the first viewing apparatus, wherein the first position information is determined by the first viewing apparatus by capturing the first infrared light signal;
• obtaining a media program in a first viewing perspective that conforms to the first position information;
• presenting the media program in the first viewing perspective for viewing by way of the viewing apparatus;
• transmitting to the viewing apparatus a first recorded audio signal corresponding to the first viewing perspective;
• detecting that the viewing apparatus has moved to a second position according to second position information transmitted by the viewing apparatus, wherein the second position information is determined by a second viewing apparatus according to motion sensor of the first viewing apparatus that detects movement of the first viewing apparatus;
• obtaining the media program in a second viewing perspective according to the second position;
• obtaining a second recorded audio signal corresponding to the second viewing perspective, the second recorded audio signal having been recorded at a viewing perspective corresponding to the second viewing perspective;
• transmitting to the viewing apparatus the second recorded audio signal;
• presenting the media program for viewing by way of the viewing apparatus
• receiving a request from the viewing apparatus for changing from the second viewing perspective to a third viewing perspective, wherein the request is generated by the viewing apparatus responsive to a speech command received;
• interpolating a second viewing perspective of the media program and a fourth viewing perspective of the media program to generate the third viewing perspective of the media program;
• obtaining the third viewing perspective of the media program that is generated;
• and
• presenting the media program in the third viewing perspective for viewing by way of the viewing apparatus.

A viewing apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving a first infrared light signal from a set-top box;
• detecting the viewing apparatus in a first location according to the first infrared light signal;
• transmitting from the viewing apparatus to a set-top box a signal comprising the first location of the viewing apparatus;
• enable viewing of a media program presented by the set-top box in a first viewing perspective, wherein the set-top box obtains the media program according to the first location of the viewing apparatus;
• detecting that the viewing apparatus has moved to a second location according to a motion sensor of the viewing apparatus;
• transmitting from the viewing apparatus to the set-top box a signal comprising the second location of the viewing apparatus to cause the set-top box to request from a media system remote to the set-top box a second viewing perspective and a recorded audio signal corresponding to the second viewing perspective, the recorded audio signal having been recorded at a viewing perspective corresponding to the second viewing perspective;
• receiving the recorded audio signal;
• presenting the recorded audio signal;
• enabling viewing of the media program presented by the set-top box in the second viewing perspective;
• receiving a speech command for changing from the second viewing perspective to a third viewing perspective;
• transmitting a request to the set-top box for changing from the second viewing perspective to a third viewing perspective responsive to a speech command received;
• and
• enabling viewing of the media program presented by the set-top box in the third viewing perspective, wherein the third viewing perspective of the media program is generated by interpolating the second viewing perspective of the media program and a fourth viewing perspective of the media program.
