Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) appearing Pepper's Ghost artifice is created in a 3D virtual environment for viewing on at least one target device by using a source device that includes a database that stores a plurality of virtual screens of varying sizes and shapes, and an artifice processor. Motion metric data of a human is captured. Also, at least one two-dimensional (2D) live video feed of at least a portion of the human is captured. The artifice processor enables and stitches a Pepper's Ghost artifice of the human using the motion metric data of the human, the at least one 2D live video feed of the human, and a unique identifier of the human. At least one virtual screen is selected from the database using the Pepper's Ghost artifice of the human. The selected virtual screen is compatible with the at least one 2D live video feed of the human. The Pepper's Ghost artifice of the human and the selected at least one compatible virtual screen is transmitted to at least one target device for projection of the Pepper's Ghost artifice of the human onto the selected at least one compatible virtual screen, thereby creating a 3D appearing Pepper's Ghost artifice in a 3D virtual environment at t…
