  • Patent number: 10824320
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine at least one request to access a content item, wherein the content item was composed using a set of camera feeds that capture at least one scene from a set of different positions. A viewport interface can be provided on a display screen of the computing device through which playback of the content item is presented, the viewport interface being configured to allow a user operating the computing device to virtually navigate the at least one scene by changing i) a direction of the viewport interface relative to the scene or ii) a zoom level of the viewport interface. A navigation indicator can be provided in the viewport interface, the navigation indicator being configured to visually indicate any changes to a respective direction and zoom level of the viewport interface during playback of the content item.

  • Publication number: 20170316806
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine at least one request to access a content item, wherein the requested content item was composed using a set of camera feeds that capture one or more scenes from a set of different positions. Information describing an automated viewing mode for navigating at least some of the scenes in the requested content item is obtained. A viewport interface is provided on a display screen of the computing device through which playback of the requested content item is presented. The viewport interface is automatically navigated through at least some of the scenes during playback of the requested content item based at least in part on the automated viewing mode.

  • Patent number: 9325960
    Abstract: Maintaining a three dimensional stereoscopic effect may include determining a distance between a position of a virtual camera and a first center of interest of a three dimensional image, calculating a scaling factor based on the distance, and compensating for a parallax setting associated with a second center of interest within the three dimensional image by applying the scaling factor when generating the three dimensional image to maintain the three dimensional effect.
