Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method, comprising: obtaining an input comprising audio and visual data for display on a first device; receiving data associated with one or more sensory properties of one or more user-selected objects in the input; and reconstructing the one or more sensory properties at the first device based on the data received.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensory properties comprises at least one of a temperature, a texture and a movement associated with the one or more.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is captured by one or more sensors on the first device, the one or more sensors comprising at least one of an infrared sensor and a tactile sensor.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is captured by one or more sensors on a second device, the one or more sensors comprising at least one of an infrared sensor and a tactile sensor.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein reconstructing the one or more sensory properties comprises translating the sensory data into metrics for reconstruction.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a controller regulates a gridded interface to produce the one or more sensory properties based on the metrics.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the gridded interface comprises at least one of an array of micro pipes, a hot air reservoir, a cold air reservoir and a tactile simulator.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the gridded interface is located on an enclosure of the first device.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is one of pre-recorded or live.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising segmenting the input based on user selection, wherein the input is at least one of segmented temporally and segmented spatially.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more sensory properties are reconstructed based on the user selection for at least one of a given duration and a given region of the input.
12. A method, comprising: obtaining an input comprising visual and audio data for display on a device; detecting user selection of one or more objects in the visual input; identifying the one or more selected objects and surroundings of the one or more objects; obtaining data associated with one or more sensory properties of the identified one or more objects and the surroundings; and reconstructing the one or more sensory properties associated with the identified one or more objects and the surroundings based on the data received.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein identifying the one or more selected objects comprises one of an image recognition software and a user input.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the data is obtained from a database comprising objects indexed with sensory information.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the data is estimated based on historical information stored in the database.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the sensory properties comprises at least one of a temperature, a texture and a movement associated with the one or more objects and surroundings.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein reconstructing the one or more sensory properties comprises translating the data into metrics.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein a controller regulates a gridded interface to produce the one or more sensory properties based on the metrics.
19. A method, comprising: obtaining an input comprising visual and audio data for display on a first device; detecting sensory input from a user of the first device with respect to one or more user-selected objects in the input; capturing data associated with the sensory input from the user of the first device; and transmitting the captured data to a second device for reconstruction of one or more sensory properties associated with the user of the first device.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein detecting sensory input from a user comprises detecting user contact with one or more sensors on the first device.
21. The method of claim 19 , wherein capturing data associated with the sensory input comprises recording and storing data generated by the one of more sensors on the first device.
22. An apparatus, comprising: a memory; and a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to: obtain an input comprising audio and visual data for display on a first device; receive data associated with one or more sensory properties of one or more user-selected objects in the input; and reconstruct the one or more sensory properties at the first device based on the data received.
23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein a controller regulates a gridded interface to produce one or more sensory properties based on one or more metrics.
24. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the gridded interface comprises at least one of an array of micro pipes, a hot air reservoir, a cold air reservoir and a tactile simulator.
25. The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the gridded interface is located on an enclosure of the first device.
