AUTOMATED CONVERSION OF A VISUAL PRESENTATION INTO DIGITAL DATA FORMAT

摘要

A full multimedia production such as a seminar, conference, lecture, etc. can be captured in real time using multiple cameras (11, 13). A live movie of a speaker together with the speaker's flipping still images or slide show can be viewed interactively within the same video display screen (31-46). The complete production can be stored on a hard drive (17) for retrieval on demand, or sent live to a host server for live distribution throughout a data network. It is also possible to store the complete presentation on portable storage media, and/or to send it as an e-mail.
