SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR CREATING A VIEWING EXPERIENCE
First Claim
1. A process for generating a viewing experience, comprising steps of:
- determining location data and movement data of (a) an object and (b) a participant within an event area;
determining a three-dimensional model of the event area, the participant and the object based upon the location data and the movement data;
determining a viewpoint of a spectator, the viewpoint defining an origin, relative to the three-dimensional model, and a direction of the viewing experience; and
generating the viewing experience for the viewpoint at least in part from the three-dimensional model.

Abstract
Systems and processes generate a viewing experience by determining location data and movement data of (a) at least one object and (b) at least one participant within an event area. A three-dimensional model of the event area, the participant and the object is determined based upon the location data and the movement data. A viewpoint of a spectator defines an origin, relative to the three-dimensional model, and a direction of the viewing experience. The viewing experience is generated for the viewpoint at least in part from the three-dimensional model to include one or more of augmented reality, mixed reality, extended reality, and virtual reality.

18. A system for generating a free-viewpoint experience for a spectator, comprising:
-
a plurality of cameras positioned at an event area to capture primary images of the event area; tracking apparatus configured to determine location data and movement data of (a) at least one object and (b) at least one participant within the event area; and a server having a processor and memory storing machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor are capable of; receiving the primary images from the plurality of cameras; determining a three-dimensional model of the event area, the participant and the object based upon the location data and the movement data of the participant and the object; and sending an output to a viewing device for providing the free-viewpoint experience, having at least one virtual image, to the spectator. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
