Abstract

Recent efforts in visible light communication over screen-camera links have exploited the display for data communications. Such practices, albeit convenient, have led to contention between space allocated for users and content reserved for devices, in addition to their aesthetic issues and distractive nature. In this paper, we propose InFrame--a system that enables dual-mode full-frame communication for both humans and devices simultaneously. InFrame leverages the temporal flick-fusion property of human vision system and the fast frame rate of modern display. It multiplexes data onto full-frame video contents through a novel complementary frame design and several other techniques. It thus ensures screen-camera data communication without affecting the primary video-viewing experience for human users. Our preliminary experiments have confirmed that InFrame can achieve about 12.8kbps data rate with imperceptible video artifacts when being played back at 120FPS.
