Large-audience, positionable imaging and display system for exhibiting panoramic imagery, and multimedia content featuring a circularity of action
| Details |
Inventors: Metcalf, Darrell J.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Adams; Russell
Assistant Examiner: Koval; Melissa J
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
A panoramic imaging and display system for the imaging and displaying of visual-media content, comprising a screen configured for the display of panoramic imagery, having an interior surface-perimeter and an exterior surface-perimeter, wherein each of said surface-perimeters are substantially contiguous in appearance and are sized and shaped to have a display area on which, substantially contiguous panoramic visual-media content and segmented visual-media content can be imaged. The system provides support and positioning of the display to at least one height relative to a viewing audience to provide circumnavigable viewing, and a multitude of vantage points from which to view at least one of the surface-perimeters of the panoramic display. Embodiments of the system can have an array of speakers positioned around a perimeter of the system's screen as a sound-system providing a panning of audible sound which can be synchronized with the movement of objects seen moving on the screen. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION In particular, the large-audience, positionable imaging and display system comprises substantially cylindrical, arced, or dome-shaped, screen-displays that are each configured for display of panoramic imagery and in some embodiments are also configured for networked interactivity, or for the viewing and/or participant interaction with multimedia content featuring a circularity of action (e.
g.
panoramic games, races, or battles).
In one embodiment the large-audience screen-displays are positioned to be exteriorly viewable, and in another embodiment the large-audience screen-displays provide a dual-perspective viewing such that screen-content is both exteriorly and interiorly viewable from any one of a variety of vantage points beyond an outer diameter of the screen(s).
In either embodiment, the large-audience screen-displays of the image delivery and display system can exhibit pre-recorded, computer-generated, and image-processed image content (optionally including synchronous audio).
The screen-displays also exhibit live, multi-channel, or multiplexed, panoramic content (such as the video and audio received from a live multi-camera broadcast).
The system can be configured having sufficient height and width to facilitate either close proximity viewing or viewing at a distance, and in the latter case, can readily be employed in arenas, stadiums and other large audience venues, including venues in indoor or outdoor settings.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Since the inception of motion pictures, and with more recent developments in projection systems for live and pre-recorded images, various screen-displays have been utilized to achieve a sense in their respective viewers, of being visually immersed in the moving images before them.
The most common method used to achieve an immersive projection quality has been to project motion pictures, and the like, onto a large rectangular screen.
Advances in film and projection technologies have since made possible the combination of high image resolution and large screen projection in improved systems such as those made popular by the international "IMAX" theatres
