Ambulatory system to communicate visual projections

A system for ambulatory communication comprising:

• a first set of one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for operation with a first user;
• and
• a second set of one or more UAVs for operation with a second user;
• wherein the first set of UAVs and the second set of UAVs are operable to support a communication session between the first user and the second user;
• wherein each of the sets of UAVs includes:
• a stereo camera to record an image of the user of the apparatus or a scene nearby the user of the apparatus,
• a transmitter to transmit video data generated by the stereo camera to the other set of UAVs,
• a receiver to receive video data via the network from the other set of UAVs, and
• a video projection mechanism to project an image including the received video directly from the video projection mechanism onto an eye or eyes of the user of the set of UAVs using a laser projection;
• wherein the system does not include a projection screen, and wherein the image is viewable by the user without use of virtual reality goggles or other wearable element.

A method comprising:

• commencing a communication between a local user and a remote user;
• initiating an ambulatory communication session for the local user and the remote user;
• enabling at least one autonomous device, wherein each autonomous device is operable to hover and follow the local user;
• recording by the at least one autonomous device a stereo image of the local user or a scene;
• transmitting data for the recorded stereo image to a remote device for the remote user;
• receiving stereo video data from the remote device;
• and
• projecting to the local user by the at least one autonomous device an image including projecting the received stereo video data directly onto an eye or eyes of the local user using a laser projection;
• wherein the projection of the image does not include a projection screen, and wherein the image is viewable by the user without use of virtual reality goggles or other wearable element.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• commencing a communication between a local user and a remote user;
• initiating an ambulatory communication session for the local user and the remote user;
• enabling at least one autonomous device, wherein each autonomous device is operable to hover and follow the local user;
• recording by the at least one autonomous device a stereo image of the local user or a scene;
• transmitting data for the recorded stereo image and the recorded audio to a remote device for the remote user;
• receiving stereo video data from the remote device;
• and
• projecting to the local user by the at least one autonomous device an image including projecting the received stereo video data directly onto an eye or eyes of the local user using a laser projection;
• wherein the projection of the image does not include a projection screen, and wherein the image is viewable by the user without use of virtual reality goggles or other wearable element.

A system for ambulatory communication comprising:

• a first set of one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for operation with a first user;
• and
• a second set of one or more UAVs for operation with a second user;
• wherein the first set of UAVs and the second set of UAVs are operable to support a communication session between the first user and the second user;
• wherein the first set of one or more UAVs are subject to control for a service by the second user upon granting of permission for such control by the first user;
• and wherein each of the sets of UAVs includes:
• a stereo camera to record an image of the user of the apparatus or a scene nearby the user of the apparatus,
• a transmitter to transmit video data generated by the stereo camera to the other set of UAVs,
• a receiver to receive video data via the network from the other set of UAVs, and a video projection mechanism to project an image including the received video directly from the video projection mechanism onto an eye or eyes of the user of the set of UAVs using a laser projection;
• wherein the apparatus does not include a projection screen, and wherein the image is viewable by the user without use of virtual reality goggles or other wearable element.
