Abstract
This disclosure presents systems and methods to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations. A current distinct physical location of a participant may be determined. In response to determining the current distinct physical location in which the participant is located, operation of one or more content devices physically present in the current distinct physical location may be effectuated.
Background
FIELD (1) This disclosure relates to systems and methods to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations. BACKGROUND (2) Video calls and/or video games that incorporate a capture device, such as a video camera, may require the user to be in the same room as the device in order to participate in the video call and/or video game. SUMMARY (3) One aspect of the disclosure relates to a system configured to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations. Content may be presented on, and/or generated from, content devices included in a set of content devices. A content device may include, for example, a video game console, a television, a camera, and/or other devices. Typically, during a video call and/or while playing a video game or watching television, a user may be confined to one location (e.g., a room) where a device is located. However, it is becoming more common that buildings (e.g., houses and/or offices) may be outfitted with multiple content devices with one or more of content devices being located in a given room. Further, some buildings may include multiple capture devices (e.g., cameras, microphones, and/or other devices) with one or more of capture device being located in a given room. As such, one or more implementations of the systems and methods presented herein make it possible for a participant to move between multiple di
Claims
1. A system configured to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: obtain image information derived from output signals generated by individual capture devices included in a set of capture devices, individual capture devices being physically located at, and associated with, individual distinct physical locations included in a set of distinct physical locations, the image information defining images depicting the individual distinct physical locations; detect, based on the image information, presence of a first user within the individual distinct physical locations; determine that the first user is interacting with a first content presented on a first content device physically present in a first distinct physical location in the set of distinct physical locations, the first content device being included in a set of content devices, individual content devices in the set of content devices being physically located at, and associated with, the individual distinct physical locations; determine, based on the image information and associations of the individual capture devices with the individual distinct physical locations, that the first user is present in a second distinct physical location; and in response to determining the first user is in the second distinct physical location, effectuate operation of a second content device physically present in the second distinct physical location, wherein the operation of the second content device includes effectuating presentation of the first content that was previously interacted with by the first user on the first content device. ||
11. A method to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations, the method comprising: obtaining image information derived from output signals generated by individual capture devices included in a set of capture devices, individual capture devices being physically located at, and associated with, individual distinct physical locations included in a set of distinct physical locations, the image information defining images depicting the individual distinct physical locations; detecting, based on the image information, presence of a first user within the individual distinct physical locations; determining that the first user is interacting with a first content presented on a first content device physically present in a first distinct physical location in the set of distinct physical locations, the first content device being included in a set of content devices, individual content devices in the set of content devices being physically located at, and associated with, the individual distinct physical locations; determining, based on the image information and associations of the individual capture devices with the individual distinct physical locations, that the first user is present in a second distinct physical location; and in response to determining the first user is in the second distinct physical location, effectuating operation of a second content device physically present in the second distinct physical location, wherein the operation of the second content device includes effectuating presentation of the first content that was previously interacted with by the first user on the first content device.
