Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure relate generally to methods, apparatuses and computer program products for enabling communication devices to simultaneously deliver immersive video content from multiple perspectives to other communication devices during communications.
Many wearable devices may typically be unable to provide immersive video experiences for sharing video content with other users from multiple points of view of a user associated with the wearable device capturing the video content. For instance, some wearable devices may enable one or more users in a video call/conference with the user associated with the wearable device capturing the video content to view the perspective of what the user associated with the wearable device is able to view but may not simultaneously enable one or more users in the video call/conference to be able to view the user associated with the wearable device. The inability to view multiple viewpoints and perspectives of a user associated with a wearable device capturing video content during a communication may be burdensome and cumbersome and may inhibit the user experience.
In view of the foregoing drawbacks, it may be beneficial to provide an efficient and reliable mechanism to simultaneously provide multiple viewpoints and perspectives associated with a user during video communications.
Exemplary embodiments are described for enabling communication devices to deliver immersive video content communications and/or live video streaming from various viewpoints and perspectives (e.g., first person perspectives, third person perspectives, etc.).
The exemplary embodiments may utilize the camera capabilities of a plurality of communication devices (e.g., smart watches, smart glasses, charging cases, and other suitable devices) to provide video content associated with the various viewpoints and perspectives.
The exemplary embodiments may provide immersive video calls/conferences and/or live video streaming experiences by enabling users to view/share video content of captured objects in a real-world environment from both a first person perspective and a third person perspective. Some exemplary embodiments may enable users to switch between the camera of a first communication device (e.g., a smart watch, etc.) and the camera of a second communication device (e.g., smart glasses, a smart tablet, etc.) to provide only the first person perspective or the third person perspective in some instances. In this regard, some exemplary embodiments may enable users to switch back and forth between the first person perspective and the third person perspective during a communication (e.g., a video call/conference, a live video stream).
In one example embodiment, a method is provided. The method may include receiving first video content captured by a first communication device. The first video content may be associated with a first viewpoint perspective indicating first video data associated with a view that a first user views via the first communication device when looking at an environment. The method may further include receiving second video content captured by a second communication device. The second video content may be associated with a second viewpoint perspective associated with second video data indicating at least one of the first user or one or more objects within the environment. The method may further include providing the first video data associated with the first viewpoint perspective and the second video data associated with the second viewpoint perspective simultaneously to one or more communication devices during a communication associated with a plurality of devices.
In another example embodiment, a device is provided. The device may include one or more processors and a memory including computer program code instructions. The memory and computer program code instructions are configured to, with at least one of the processors, cause the device to at least perform operations including receiving first video content captured by a first communication device. The first video content may be associated with a first viewpoint perspective indicating first video data associated with a view that a first user views via the first communication device when looking at an environment. The memory and computer program code are also configured to, with the processor, cause the device to receive second video content captured by a second communication device. The second video content may be associated with a second viewpoint perspective associated with second video data indicating at least one of the first user or one or more objects within the environment. The memory and computer program code are also configured to, with the processor, cause the device to provide the first video data associated with the first viewpoint perspective and the second video data associated with the second viewpoint perspective simultaneously to one or more communication devices during a communication associated with a plurality of devices.
In yet another example embodiment, a computer program product is provided. The computer program product includes at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein. The computer-executable program code instructions may include program code instructions configured to receive first video content captured by a first communication device. The first video content may be associated with a first viewpoint perspective indicating first video data associated with a view that a first user views via the first communication device when looking at an environment. The computer program product may further include program code instructions configured to receive second video content captured by a second communication device. The second video content may be associated with a second viewpoint perspective associated with second video data indicating at least one of the first user or one or more objects within the environment. The computer-executable program code instructions may further include program code instructions configured to provide the first video data associated with the first viewpoint perspective and the second video data associated with the second viewpoint perspective simultaneously to one or more communication devices during a communication associated with a plurality of devices.

It should be pointed out that although
One of the cameras 216 may be a forward-facing camera capturing images and/or videos of the environment that a user wearing the HMD 210 may view. The HMD 210 may include an eye tracking system to track the vergence movement of the user wearing the HMD 210. In one exemplary embodiment, the camera 216 may be the eye tracking system. The HMD 210 may include a microphone of the audio device 206 to capture voice input from the user. The augmented reality system 200 may further include a controller (e.g., processor 32 of
The processor 32 may be a special purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in association with a DSP core, a controller, a microcontroller, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs) circuits, any other type of integrated circuit (IC), a state machine, and the like. In general, the processor 32 may execute computer-executable instructions stored in the memory (e.g., memory 44 and/or memory 46) of the node 30 in order to perform the various required functions of the node. For example, the processor 32 may perform signal coding, data processing, power control, input/output processing, and/or any other functionality that enables the node 30 to operate in a wireless or wired environment. The processor 32 may run application-layer programs (e.g., browsers) and/or radio access-layer (RAN) programs and/or other communications programs. The processor 32 may also perform security operations such as authentication, security key agreement, and/or cryptographic operations, such as at the access-layer and/or application layer for example.
The processor 32 is coupled to its communication circuitry (e.g., transceiver 34 and transmit/receive element 36). The processor 32, through the execution of computer executable instructions, may control the communication circuitry in order to cause the node 30 to communicate with other nodes via the network to which it is connected.
The transmit/receive element 36 may be configured to transmit signals to, or receive signals from, other nodes or networking equipment. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the transmit/receive element 36 may be an antenna configured to transmit and/or receive radio frequency (RF) signals. The transmit/receive element 36 may support various networks and air interfaces, such as wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless personal area network (WPAN), cellular, and the like. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the transmit/receive element 36 may be configured to transmit and/or receive both RF and light signals. It will be appreciated that the transmit/receive element 36 may be configured to transmit and/or receive any combination of wireless or wired signals.
The transceiver 34 may be configured to modulate the signals that are to be transmitted by the transmit/receive element 36 and to demodulate the signals that are received by the transmit/receive element 36. As noted above, the node 30 may have multi-mode capabilities. Thus, the transceiver 34 may include multiple transceivers for enabling the node 30 to communicate via multiple radio access technologies (RATs), such as universal terrestrial radio access (UTRA) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE 802.11), for example.
The processor 32 may access information from, and store data in, any type of suitable memory, such as the non-removable memory 44 and/or the removable memory 46. For example, the processor 32 may store session context in its memory, as described above. The non-removable memory 44 may include RAM, ROM, a hard disk, or any other type of memory storage device. The removable memory 46 may include a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, a memory stick, a secure digital (SD) memory card, and the like. In other exemplary embodiments, the processor 32 may access information from, and store data in, memory that is not physically located on the node 30, such as on a server or a home computer.
The processor 32 may receive power from the power source 48, and may be configured to distribute and/or control the power to the other components in the node 30. The power source 48 may be any suitable device for powering the node 30. For example, the power source 48 may include one or more dry cell batteries (e.g., nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-zinc (NiZn), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium-ion (Li-ion), etc.), solar cells, fuel cells, and the like. The processor 32 may also be coupled to the GPS chipset 50, which may be configured to provide location information (e.g., longitude and latitude) regarding the current location of the node 30. It will be appreciated that the node 30 may acquire location information by way of any suitable location-determination method while remaining consistent with an exemplary embodiment.
In operation, CPU 91 fetches, decodes, and executes instructions, and transfers information to and from other resources via the computer's main data-transfer path, system bus 80. Such a system bus connects the components in computing system 400 and defines the medium for data exchange. System bus 80 typically includes data lines for sending data, address lines for sending addresses, and control lines for sending interrupts and for operating the system bus. An example of such a system bus 80 is the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus.
Memories coupled to system bus 80 include RAM 82 and ROM 93. Such memories may include circuitry that allows information to be stored and retrieved. ROMs 93 generally contain stored data that cannot easily be modified. Data stored in RAM 82 may be read or changed by CPU 91 or other hardware devices. Access to RAM 82 and/or ROM 93 may be controlled by memory controller 92. Memory controller 92 may provide an address translation function that translates virtual addresses into physical addresses as instructions are executed. Memory controller 92 may also provide a memory protection function that isolates processes within the system and isolates system processes from user processes. Thus, a program running in a first mode may access only memory mapped by its own process virtual address space; it cannot access memory within another process's virtual address space unless memory sharing between the processes has been set up.
In addition, computing system 400 may contain peripherals controller 83 responsible for communicating instructions from CPU 91 to peripherals, such as printer 94, keyboard 84, mouse 95, and disk drive 85.
Display 86, which is controlled by display controller 96, is used to display visual output generated by computing system 400. Such visual output may include text, graphics, animated graphics, and video. Display 86 may be implemented with a cathode-ray tube (CRT)-based video display, a liquid-crystal display (LCD)-based flat-panel display, gas plasma-based flat-panel display, or a touch-panel. Display controller 96 includes electronic components required to generate a video signal that is sent to display 86.
Further, computing system 400 may contain communication circuitry, such as for example a network adaptor 97, that may be used to connect computing system 400 to an external communications network, such as network 12 of
The exemplary embodiments may enable video calls/conferencing and/or live video streaming simultaneously from multiple perspectives and viewpoints such as, for example, first person perspectives and/or third person perspectives.
Some exemplary embodiments may leverage combined capabilities of communication devices (e.g., smart glasses, an artificial reality device, or a head-mounted display, smart watches, smart tablets, charging cases, etc.) to provide more immersive experiences in video calls/conferences and/or live video streaming. In some example embodiments, smart glasses worn by a user may provide a first person perspective of video content being captured and one or more other communication devices (e.g., a smart watch, a smart tablet, etc.) may provide a third person perspective of video content being captured.
For instance, for purposes of illustration and not of limitation, consider an example in which a user such as Julian (a fictitious person) is baking sourdough bread in the kitchen at his home in Mountain View. Julian may receive a video call/conference via his smart glasses (e.g., HMD 210) and may answer the video call. A network device (e.g., network device 160) may facilitate the connection of the video call. In this example, Julian's girlfriend Maya (a fictitious person) is calling Julian. Maya has been living in Switzerland the past few months. Consider that once Julian answers the video call, Julian turns around and opens a companion charging case (e.g., a UE 30). The camera (e.g., camera 54) inside the charging case may turn on and facilitate seamless connection of Julian and Maya over video. For instance, the video stream captured by the camera inside the charging case may be provided to the network device which may provide the charging case video to the video call. As an example, the charging case video may capture and provide video of Julian in a third person perspective to the video call. Consider that the sourdough bread in the oven is ready. Julian wants to show Maya how the sourdough bread turns out as Julian tried a new recipe for the sourdough bread. In this regard, Julian may turn on the camera on the smart glasses (e.g., by tapping/touching the smart glasses or via another input mechanism via the smart glasses), which may start a second live video stream, on the same video call/conference, showing Julian's perspective (e.g., first person perspective or viewpoint) while Julian is removing the sourdough bread from the oven. In this regard, the second live video stream may present to Maya on her smart device (e.g., a smart tablet, etc.) what Julian sees/views through Julian's smart glasses. This may be happening simultaneously while the companion charging case sits on the kitchen counter capturing video of Julian's every movement in the kitchen via the camera of the charging case. The bread turns out great. In this example, Maya may view Julian's experience, being presented via Maya's smart device, when Julian is taking the bread out of the oven as the video is captured by Julian's smart glasses. At the same time (e.g., simultaneously), Maya can view, via her smart device, Julian's excitement when Julian takes the sourdough bread out of the oven since the video is being captured by the companion case. In this manner, Maya may share in Julian's experience (in real-time over the video call) with the sourdough bread turning out great based on the new sourdough bread recipe Julian tried. In this example, having simultaneous first person and third person views during video calls may enable immersive experiences. For example, a seamless video call offering both first person and third person perspectives.
For purposes of illustration and not of limitation, consider another example in which a user such as for example Jennifer (a factious person) is a social media influencer with over 1 million followers worldwide. In this example, consider that Jennifer is attending a concert and wants to live stream her experience to her social media followers. At the concert event, consider that Jennifer turns on her smart glasses (e.g., HMD 210) and also may select an option through a social network service to live stream video and when the smart glasses are turned on, the smart glasses may begin live streaming video associated with the content Jennifer views in the environment at the concert, for example, from Jennifer's first person perspective. In this regard, Jennifer's social media followers may view (on their smart devices) what Jennifer views/sees through Jennifer's smart glasses as the video stream content is being captured at the concert by the smart glasses. For instance, the smart glasses may provide the captured video stream content to a network device (e.g., network device 160) and the network device may stream the captured video to Jennifer's social media followers. In addition, consider a scenario in which Jennifer has a companion charging case for the smart glasses and opens the charging case and turns on a camera (e.g., camera 54) in the charging case to begin capturing video content. The camera inside the charging case may begin sharing the captured video content, via the live video stream, with Jennifer's fans (i.e., Jennifer's social media followers) which may show how Jennifer is enjoying the concert for example with her friends. The companion case, for example when pointed at Jennifer and/or her friends, may capture the video showing Jennifer and/or her friends as they experience the concert. The video capture of Jennifer and/or her friends is from the third person perspective. In this manner, Jennifer's followers worldwide may see, via their smart devices, the band performance on stage at the concert from Jennifer's perspective (e.g., first person perspective). Jennifer's followers may also simultaneously see, via their smart devices, what Jennifer is doing (e.g., a third person perspective) throughout the live streaming event associated with the concert and the followers may react in real time. Through the display (e.g., display 42) inside the charging case, Jennifer may see the reaction from some, or all, of her fans (e.g., Jennifer's social network followers) and may respond in real time during the live streaming event at the concert.
As described above, the network device may receive the captured video stream from the smart glasses and the network device may provide (e.g., via a communication link (e.g., link 150)) the captured video stream content in a live stream to Jennifer's social media followers. Additionally, in an example embodiment, the charging case may share the captured video content that it captures by providing (e.g., via a communication link (e.g., link 150)) the captured video content to the network device (e.g., network device 160) and the network device may simultaneously live stream the captured video captured by the charging case with the captured video captured by the smart glasses to Jennifer's social media followers. In this manner, the network device may provide live streaming of video content simultaneously from first person perspectives and third person perspectives as captured by different communication devices (the smart glasses and charging case in this example).
Referring now to
At step 506, the smart watch may indicate that the power of the smart watch is low (e.g., battery drained below a threshold level) while the smart watch receives the video capture of Catherine, from a smart device (e.g., smart glasses) associated with Catherine, during the call and shows Catherine on the display of the smart watch being worn on the arm of Jill during the call.
At step 508, the smart watch may be removed from a cradle associated with the smart watch and may be docked inside a companion case (e.g., a companion charging case) to begin charging the smart watch. In this manner, the smart watch may capture video of Jill and/or one or more objects (e.g., from a third person point of view) when she is in view of the camera of the smart watch and may present the captured video to a smart device of Catherine during the call, even while the smart watch is being charged. In the example of
At step 512, the companion case may charge both the smart glasses and the smart watch when placed (e.g., docked) within the companion case. In this regard, for example, after the call with Catherine about Jill and Catherine's plans for the afternoon, Jill may finish her coffee while charging both the smart glasses and the smart watch in the companion case. In an instance in which both the smart glasses and the smart watch are fully charged, Jill may then take the companion case, smart glasses and smart watch and leave the cafe and head over to meet with Catherine downtown.
Although the above examples describe a companion case capturing the third person perspectives it should be pointed out that other suitable communication devices (e.g., smart tablets, smart watches, laptops, etc.) may capture the third person perspectives for presenting the associated video content to users in a video call/conference and/or live video stream.
At operation 604, the device (e.g., network device 160) may receive second video content captured by a second communication device. The second video content may be associated with a second viewpoint perspective (e.g., a third person viewpoint) associated with second video data indicating at least one of the first user or one or more objects within the environment. The second communication device (e.g., a UE 30) may, for example, be a smart watch, a charging case, a smart tablet, or other smart device. At operation 606, the device (e.g., network device 160) may provide the first video data associated with the first viewpoint perspective and the second video data associated with the second viewpoint perspective simultaneously to one or more communication devices during a communication associated with a plurality of devices. The communication may, for example, be a video call, a video conference, or a live video stream.
In an exemplary embodiment, the device (e.g., network device 160) may provide the first video data and the second video data simultaneously to one or more communication devices via a communication link (e.g., a link 150). The device (e.g., network device 160) may provide, in a single communication feed, the first video data and the second video data simultaneously to one or more communication devices. The device (e.g., network device 160) providing the first video data from the first viewpoint perspective (e.g., a first person viewpoint) and the second video data from the second viewpoint perspective (e.g., a third person viewpoint) to one or more communication devices may enable a display device of the one or more communication devices to simultaneously display the first video data and second video data during the communication. A display device (e.g., display 42) associated with the one or more communication devices may, for example, display the first video data and the second video data side-by-side on the display device. In another example embodiment, the display device (e.g., display 42) associated with the one or more communication devices may display/present the second video data within a display window displaying/presenting the first video data (e.g., in a Picture-In-Picture (PIP) manner).
