Abstract

A method for navigating concurrently and from point-to-point through multiple reality models is described. The method includes: generating, at a processor, a first navigatable virtual view of a first location of interest, wherein the first location of interest is one of a first virtual location and a first non-virtual location; and concurrently with the generating the first navigatable virtual view of the first location of interest, generating, at the processor, a second navigatable virtual view corresponding to a current physical position of an object, such that real-time sight at the current physical position is enabled within the second navigatable virtual view.

Claims

1. A live media metadata extractor comprising:

a pre-production module to determine a geospatial location of a media recording device;

a production module to collect a time-stamped geospatial location information from a media data produced by the media recording device; and

a post-production module to extract the time-stamped geospatial location information from the media data.

2. The live video metadata extractor of claim 1 further comprising:

a user interactive module to provide coordinated integration of an augmentation addition to the media data.

3. The live video metadata extractor of claim 1 wherein the pre-production module determines a geospatial location of an immobile object.

4. The live video metadata extractor of claim 1 wherein the pre-production module establishes a geospatial location tag on a mobile object.

5. The live video metadata extractor of claim 4 wherein the production module collects a time-stamped geospatial location information from the mobile object.

6. The live video metadata extractor of claim 1 wherein the production module keys the media data with a timestamp.

7. The live video metadata extractor of claim 1 wherein the post-production module maps the extracted time-stamped geospatial location information to a reality model.

8. The live video metadata extractor of claim 7 wherein the post-production module integrates an augmentation addition to the reality model.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable code for directing a processor to execute a method for pre-producing media having extractable metadata, the method comprising:

scripting a scene to be recorded;

identifying significant objects within the scene;

determining geospatial data for at least one immobile object within the scene; and

attaching a geospatial sensor to an animate subject in the scene.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 9 wherein the significant objects are selected from the group consisting of:

landmarks, vehicles, persons, and geographical features.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 9 wherein the geospatial sensor is selected from the group consisting of:

a global positioning system, a distance sensor, a proximity beacon, a directional beacon, a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a machine readable visual marker, and a radio frequency identifier tag.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 9 wherein the animate subject is selected from the group consisting of:

a mobile object, a person and an animal.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 9 further comprising:

calibrating the geospatial sensor using data redundancy.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable code for directing a processor to execute a method for producing media having extractable metadata, the method comprising:

collecting real-time media data from a media recording device;

collecting real-time geospatial data from the media recording device;

collecting real-time geospatial data from an animate subject having a geospatial sensor attached thereto;

capturing precise time information for frames shot and all geospatial data; and

keying all media data with a timestamp.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 14 wherein the geospatial sensor is selected from the group consisting of:

a global positioning system, a distance sensor, a proximity beacon, a directional beacon, a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a machine readable visual marker, and a radio frequency identifier tag.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 14 wherein the animate subject is selected from the group consisting of:

a mobile object, a person and an animal.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 14 further comprising:

periodically calibrating the geospatial sensor using data redundancy.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 14 further comprising:

utilizing a user-operated Director-assist system to coordinate real-time integration of augmenting additions to the media data.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable code for directing a processor to execute a method for post-producing media having extractable metadata, the method comprising:

extracting a characteristic of a previously recorded media stream; and

mapping the characteristics to a reality model.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 19 further comprising:

editing the characteristics interactively with an augmented reality transmedia editor.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recited of claim 19 further comprising:

coordinating real-time integration of an augmenting addition to the media stream.
