APPARATUS FOR ADAPTING A PRESENTATION OF MEDIA CONTENT ACCORDING TO A POSITION OF A VIEWING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, a first media program in a first viewing perspective that is based on a first position of a first viewing apparatus;
obtaining, by the system, a second media program in a second viewing perspective that is based on a second position of a second viewing apparatus;
detecting, by the system, whether the first viewing apparatus has moved to a third position based on third position information transmitted to the system by the first viewing apparatus;
obtaining, by the system, the first media program in a third viewing perspective that is based on the third position;
obtaining, by the system, a third recorded audio signal that has been recorded at a viewing perspective in accordance with the third viewing perspective;
directing, by the system, a presentation device to present the first media program in the third viewing perspective;
transmitting, by the system, to the first viewing apparatus the third recorded audio signal;
determining, by the system, whether the second media program is available in a fifth viewing perspective, wherein a fourth viewing perspective of the second media program is derivable from a combination of the second viewing perspective of the second media program and the fifth viewing perspective of the second media program;
interpolating, by the system, the second viewing perspective of the second media program and the fifth viewing perspective of the second media program to generate the fourth viewing perspective of the second media program;
obtaining, by the system, the fourth viewing perspective of the second media program that is generated; and
directing, by the system, the presentation device to present the second media program in the fourth viewing perspective.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer instructions to detect a first position of a viewing apparatus, wherein the viewing apparatus enables viewing of media programs, obtain a media program in a first viewing perspective that conforms to the first position, present the media program with the first viewing perspective for viewing by way of the viewing apparatus, and transmit to the viewing apparatus a first audio signal corresponding to the first viewing perspective. The storage medium can also have computer instructions to detect that the viewing apparatus has moved to a second position, obtain the media program in a second viewing perspective according to the second position, and present the media program with the second viewing perspective for viewing by way of the viewing apparatus. Other embodiments are disclosed and contemplated.

14. A media processor, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; receiving, from a data source, a first, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream in a first channel capable of transmitting two-dimensional, high definition data; receiving, from the data source, a second, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream in a second channel capable of transmitting two-dimensional, high definition data; synchronizing the first, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream and the second two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream; determining whether a presentation device supports polarization or time-division multiplexing; responsive to determining that the presentation device supports polarization; directing the presentation device to transmit the first, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream on a first polarized portion of the presentation device; and directing the presentation device to transmit the second, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream on a second polarized portion of the presentation device; and responsive to determining that the presentation device supports time-division multiplexing; submitting a synchronization signal to a rt; directing the presentation device to transmit the first, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream during first periodic time slots; and directing the presentation device to transmit the second, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream during second periodic time slots. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A viewing apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; transmitting position information for the viewing apparatus to a media processor; receiving a first, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream of a media program from a first polarized portion of a presentation device, wherein the media program is presented at the presentation device according to the position information; receiving a second, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream of the media program from a second polarized portion of the presentation device wherein the media program is presented at the presentation device according to the position information; and presenting the first, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream of a media program and the second, two-dimensional, stereoscopic stream of the media program as a combined, three-dimensional representation of the media program. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
