  • a visual-information-capturing device which captures, creates, or produces the real-time visual information incorporating rich visual information metadata;

    a visual-information-displaying device which receives the real-time visual information from the visual-information-capturing device, generates a visual information viewer'"'"'s adjustment request to adjust a current position, a lens direction, a lens orientation, a lens angle, a moving direction, or a moving speed of the visual-information-capturing device, creates an incentive credit for complying with the visual information viewer'"'"'s adjustment request, and requests an incentive plan from an incentive service platform;

    the incentive service platform for providing and modifying the incentive plan with the visual information viewer'"'"'s adjustment request and the incentive credit embedded in the rich visual information metadata for capturing and adjusting the real-time visual information by a visual information producer, wherein the visual information viewer'"'"'s adjustment request in the incentive plan motivates a change in the current position, the lens direction, the lens orientation, the lens angle, the moving direction, or the moving speed of the visual-information-capturing device relative to the real-time visual information being captured by the visual information producer by providing the incentive credit for making the change, and wherein the incentive plan is transmitted to the visual-information-capturing device;

    a computer-readable medium or a memory unit to store the incentive service platform; and

    a CPU operatively connected to the computer-readable medium or the memory unit to execute the incentive service platform.
