Networked gesture collaboration system
First Claim
1. A collaboration input/output (I/O) system comprising:
- a display screen;
an image system configured to generate image data associated with a location and an orientation of a first sensorless input object relative to a background surface; and
a transceiver configured to transmit the image data to at least one additional collaboration I/O system at at least one remote location, and further configured to receive image data from each of the at least one additional collaboration I/O system, such that the display screen is configured to display the image data associated with a location and orientation of a sensorless input object associated with each of the at least one additional collaboration I/O system superimposed over a common image of visual data.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for a collaboration input/output (I/O) system. The collaboration I/O system may comprise a display screen and a gesture image system. The gesture image system may be configured to generate image data associated with a location and an orientation of a first sensorless input object relative to a background surface. The collaboration I/O system may also comprise a transceiver. The transceiver could be configured to transmit the image data to at least one additional collaboration I/O system at at least one remote location. The transceiver can be further configured to receive image data from each of the at least one additional collaboration I/O system, such that the display screen can be configured to display the image data associated with a location and orientation of a sensorless input object associated with each of the at least one additional collaboration I/O system superimposed over a common image of visual data.

13. A method for providing collaboration of visual data between a plurality of users, each of the plurality of users being located at a remote location separate from each other, the method comprising:
-
transmitting first image data associated with a sensorless input object of a first user of the plurality of users to each of the remaining plurality of users, the first image data comprising location and orientation data of the sensorless input object of the first user relative to a display screen of the first user; receiving second image data associated with a sensorless input object of each of the remaining plurality of users, the second image data comprising location and orientation data of the sensorless input object of each of the remaining plurality of users relative to the visual data; and projecting an image of the visual data and the second image data onto the display screen of the first user, the second image data being superimposed on the image of the visual data, the image of the visual data being common to the plurality of users. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system for collaborating visual data with a first user and at least one additional user located at a remote location that is separate from the first user, the system comprising:
-
means for generating first image data, the first image data being associated with a location and an orientation of a sensorless input object of the first user relative to a background surface; means for transmitting the first image data to the at least one additional user and for receiving second image data, the second image data being associated with a location and an orientation of a sensorless input object of each of the at least one additional user; means for combining the second image data with the visual data, the visual data being common to both the first user and each of the at least one additional user; and means for displaying the second image data and the image of the visual data to the first user, such that the second image data is superimposed over the image of the visual data. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
