METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF SIMULATING TIME OF DAY AND ENVIRONMENT OF REMOTE LOCATIONS

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes the step of capturing, at a remote location with a set of digital cameras, a series of digital photographs of a landscape, wherein the series of digital photographs is taken over at least a twenty-four hour period, and wherein the capturing is managed by a remote computing device that comprises a computer process, a memory and computer networking system. The method includes the step of positioning the set of digital cameras to match an angle of a computer-display screen. The method includes the step of obtaining a location data of the set of the digital cameras. The method includes the step of communicating, with the computer networking system of the remote computing device to a server computing system, wherein the server computing system comprises at least one computer processor that includes processes that manage the display of all or a portion of the series of digital photographs on one or more display systems.

主权项

1. A system for simulating time of day and environment of remote locations, comprising:
at least one computer processor disposed in a server; and logic executable by the at least one computer processor, the logic configured to implement a method, the method comprising:
obtaining, with a digital camera, series of digital photographs a landscape in a specified location and a specified date, wherein the series of digital photographs is obtained for a specified period of time;positioning two or more digital cameras to match a plurality of angles of a set of screens on which the digital photographs are assigned to be displayed; anddigital photographs can be displayed on one or more computer screens using the sun position matching algorithm to align the pictured sun with the sun's position at the current time and location.
