Thanks for noting this. I'm hoping that a highly parameterized patent is also struck down for the same reasons, especially if it's a subset of their previous patent.
It's funny how, knowing little about yoga, you can develop their scheme.
1. It's a yoga class! Mats are often used, to provide traction and personal space. Arrange the mats in the room.
2. Camcorder on the floor... Who does that? So you put it on a tripod, a few feet off the ground. Too high makes it unfamiliar for the viewer, like you're looking down on everyone.
3. Focus on the instructor! But... the instructor walks off to help a student... Maybe try and capture more of the class by zooming out.
4. Students stand up during poses and block your view of the instructor. Move their mats out of the line of sight!
Simply tightening the parameters doesn't make this less obvious, and their "look and feel" claim is nonsense.
