Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for facilitating a wide-view video conference through a UAV network. For facilitating the wide-view video conference, UAVs can be employed to capture and transmit video data at locations of parties involved in the wide-view video conference. One or more UAVs in the UAV network can be instructed to locate the party's location and zoom-in onto the party's location. In some examples, the UAV(s) can be equipped with a 360 degree video camera such that a wide-area covered by the 360 degree video can be captured. The video data can be transmitted to a video data processing center in real-time or substantially in real-time. The video data transmission by the given UAV to the video data processing center can be through a UAV network. The video stream can be output at a location of a given party in the video conference.
