Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for facilitation of concurrent consumption of media content by a first user of a first computing device and a second user of a second computing device. In various embodiments, facilitation may include superimposition of an animation of the second user over the media content presented on the first computing device, based on captured visual data of the second user received from the second computing device. In various embodiments, the animation may be visually emphasized on determination of the first user's interest in the second user. In various embodiments, facilitation may include conditional alteration of captured visual data of the first user based at least in part on whether the second user has been assigned a trusted status, and transmittal of the altered or unaltered visual data of the first user to the second computing device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution by a first computing device used by a first user, cause the first computing device to: receive captured visual data of a second user from a second computing device; present, on the first computing device, a media content concurrently with presentation of the media content on the second computing device; determine an interest or disinterest of the f…
