Embodiment Construction

[0029] The rich media communication system of the present invention provides a user with a three-dimensional (3D) communication space or theater having rich media functions. The user may be represented in the theater as a segmented video image or as an avatar. The user is also able to communicate by presenting images, videos, audio files, or text within the theater. The system may include tools for allowing lowered cost of animation, improved collaboration between users, presentation of episodic content, web casts, newscasts, infotainment, advertising, music clips, video conferencing, customer support, distance learning, advertising, social spaces, and interactive game shows and content.

[0030] The communication system may use existing Internet protocols, communication channels and bandwidth reducing techniques to allow rich media communications over limited bandwidth channels. For example, a theater may be created which has an individualized space with media targets and an image or...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to multimedia communications, and more particularly, to a rich media communication system based on user combinations of computer graphics, video, still images, audio, and text. [0002] Communication formats have evolved from text to interactive audio-visual communications. Recent virtual reality models generally involve the creation of a shared-space world in which the persons involved in the experience each represent a character in the shared-space world. The user representations, often referred to as avatars, in general consist of video representations or of graphic representations that are animated by a mouse or keyboard. Such virtual reality models often have been limited to real-time interactive communications. Such scenarios and representations limit the creativity and expression available using rich media communication formats. [0003] Accordingly, there exists a need for a system and related tools for providing r...
