Apparatus and method for presenting media content with telepresence

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may capture images using a camera system at a location associated with a user, transmit video content representative of the images over a network for presentation by another media processor at another location, receive at a media processor media content and second video content representative of second images that are associated with the second user, and present at a display device of the location the media content and the second video content in a telepresence configuration that simulates a presence of the other user at the location, where at least one of the media content and the video content is presented as three dimensional content. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A server comprising:
a memory for storing executable instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising: obtaining media content; receiving first images that are captured by a first camera of a first device at a first location associated with a first user, wherein the first device receives location information from a first viewing apparatus of the first user and wherein the first device adjusts the first camera responsive to the location information; receiving second images that are captured by a second camera at a second location associated with a second user; detecting speech of the first user; adjusting the first images of the first user responsive to detecting the speech of the first user to simulate the first user turning to speak to the second user; adjusting the second images of the second user responsive to detecting the speech of the first user to simulate the second user turning to listen to the first user; providing the media content and second video content representative of the second images that are adjusted to the first device for presentation at a first display device utilizing a first telepresence configuration that includes the second user, wherein the first device and the first display device are associated with the first user and located at the first location; and providing the media content and first video content representative of the first images that are adjusted to a second device for presentation at a second display device utilizing a second telepresence configuration that includes the first user, wherein the second device and the second display device are associated with the second user and located at the second location, wherein the providing of the first video content and the second video content is associated with a communication session between the first user and the second user, wherein one of the first video content, the second video content, or a combination thereof is adapted for presentation as three dimensional content by the first device and the second device, and wherein the first images associated with the first user are modified based on the media content according to a user preference.
