Method and mechanism for performing cloud image display and capture with mobile devices
First Claim
1. A method implemented with a computing system having a processor for implementing participation at an event using mobile devices, comprising:
- registering a mobile device at an event, wherein the mobile device comprises an image device;
performing device location calibration to establish a location for the mobile device at the event;
determining an orientation of the image device of the mobile device at the event;
sending participation data to the mobile device; and
utilizing the participation data at the mobile device to allow the mobile device to participate in the event by coordinating image data across multiple image devices for multiple mobile devices at the event, wherein the image devices comprise image capture devices to capture the image data, and the image devices for the multiple mobile devices at the event are coordinated to capture the image data from multiple locations or viewing perspectives.

Abstract
Disclosed is an improved approach for implementing participatory interaction at events using mobile devices. One approach is to utilize distributed display screens for the mobile devices in an audience to display a much larger collective image. Another approach is to utilize the distributed cameras of mobile devices in an audience to form a massive capture device from the different locations and perspectives of the audience members. Yet another approach is directed to the use of mobile devices in the audience to capture motion events among the audience, which are then used to synthesize new media items and types for the event.
