INTERACTIVE BINOCULAR VIDEO DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A mobile computing device to provide a virtual binocular display, the mobile computing device comprising:
- a processor;
a wireless networking module, to operate with the processor, the wireless networking module to receive a selected stream of video data from a video streaming server via a wireless network;
a video processing module, to operate with the processor, the video processing module to process video content from the stream of the video data, wherein the selected stream of video data is selected based on a location of the mobile computing device in a viewing area located in proximity to a scene captured in the video data; and
a display module, to operate with the processor, the display module to output a select enhanced portion of the video content on a display screen of the mobile computing device, the select enhanced portion determined based on an orientation of the mobile computing device relative to the scene captured in the video data.

Abstract
Various systems and methods for providing a repositionable video display on a mobile device, to emulate the effect of user-controlled binoculars, are described herein. In one example, one or more high resolution video sources (such as UltraHD video cameras) obtain video that is wirelessly broadcasted to mobile devices. The mobile device processes the broadcast based on the approximate location of the spectator'"'"'s mobile device, relative to a scene within the field of view of the mobile device. The location of the mobile device may be derived from a combination of network monitoring, camera inputs, object recognition, and the like. Accordingly, the spectator can obtain a virtual magnification of a scene from an external video source displayed on the spectator'"'"'s mobile device.

8. A method of displaying streaming video at a mobile device, the method comprising operations executing with hardware components at the mobile device, the operations including:
-
accessing a selected high-definition video stream at the mobile device, the high-definition video stream providing high-definition video of a scene captured in a direction of view away from the mobile device and towards an area of interest of the scene; correlating an orientation of the mobile device relative to the area of interest with a particular zoomed portion of the high-definition video of the scene; and displaying the particular zoomed portion of the high-definition video of the scene on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. At least one machine-readable storage medium including instructions for outputting a video display on a mobile computing device, comprising instructions, that when executed, cause the mobile computing device to:
-
establish a connection with a wireless network; capture a digital image from a perspective of a first side of the mobile computing device, using a camera located on the first side of the mobile computing device; process a high-definition video stream of an area of interest, the high-definition video stream received via the connection with the wireless network; determine a perspective of the mobile computing device relative to an orientation of a video scene provided in the high-definition video stream; and output digital video on a display screen located on a second side of the mobile computing device, wherein the second side is opposite of the first side, wherein the output of the digital video includes a portion of the video scene of the high-definition video stream that is zoomed and panned to resemble the perspective of the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
