Abstract: A method for the production of immersive virtual reality experiences designed for viewing in virtual reality head-mounted displays (HMD). This unique layered panorama process is a cubic or spherical mapped content method for presentation of pre-rendered images viewed from a fixed point of view in a head mounted display for virtual reality (VR) applications, a method that by mapping/layering all visual elements onto a mono or stereoscopic spherical or cubic panorama surface creates a seamless visual integration.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the creation of dynamically reflecting car mirrors in a virtual application using a proprietary layered panorama method. This approach utilizes the panoramic background as a source image for the reflection and specially produced masks for the mirrors in each stereo panoramic vehicle image.

Abstract: A method which allows a user who is viewing panoramic images within a virtual reality (VR) head mounted device to share with a social media network pre-loaded images of the content being viewed and post a comment. Specifically, this invention will allow a user to share an image of a vehicle just viewed or currently being viewed by the user and upload a comment in regards to the vehicle while still maintaining the integrity of the virtual reality experience.

Abstract: Method for the production of immersive virtual reality experiences designed for viewing in HTML using virtual reality head-mounted displays. The layered panorama process disclosed is a cubic or spherical mapped content method for presentation of pre-rendered images viewed from a fixed point of view. This process further discloses a users ability to select graphic user interface elements within the virtual reality environment by a look to activate functionality.

Abstract: A useful, novel and non-obvious method and apparatus for creative photography of three-dimensional automotive vehicle interior images providing a 360 degree view of an entire interior of an automotive vehicle or car (vehicle and car will be used interchangeable) for simulation of a virtual reality of the entire automotive interior through a virtual reality display used in conjunction with a virtual reality image gathering medium and related software applications to provide a virtual reality head mounted display of the automotive interior in both three dimensions and with a 360 degree review of the entire automotive interior.

Abstract: A novel, useful and non-obvious method for the creation of virtual test drives in a virtual reality application using a layered panorama method. This novel approach utilizes the stereoscopic panoramic vehicle interior images layered over a 360 looping video, inclusive of dynamically reflecting car mirrors, animated steering wheels and speedometer for an immersive realistic, test drive experience.

Abstract: A method to create a seamlessly immersive experience by having stereo components placed in 3D space, keeping realism and engagement as high as possible, to simulate virtual reality applications in a head mounted display. The method involves a placement of stereo user interface elements in 3D space for use in a virtual reality applications using a proprietary layered panoramas method. The invention utilizes a placement into 3D space, flat 2D stereoscopic user interface elements so that they fit in an immersive experience and appear to match in a z depth plane for the experience.
