A variety of applications are emerging to support streaming video from mobile
devices. However, many tasks can benefit from streaming specific content rather
than the full video feed which may include irrelevant, private, or distracting
content. We describe a system that allows users to capture and stream targeted
video content captured with a mobile device. The application incorporates a
variety of automatic and interactive techniques to identify and segment desired
content in the camera view, allowing the user to publish a more focused video.
Reading documents on mobile devices is challenging. Not only are screens
small and difficult to read, but also navigating an environment using limited
visual attention can be difficult and potentially dangerous. Reading content
aloud using text-tospeech (TTS) processing can mitigate these problems, but
only for content that does not include rich visual information.
