  • Publication number: 20140267806
    Abstract: Various aspects of a device and a method for processing video content may comprise one or more processors. The one or more processors may determine, in run-time, a first set of pixel sensors of one or more image sensors that capture a first video content when the device is in a first orientation relative to a reference orientation. The one or more processors may determine a change in orientation of the device from the first orientation to a second orientation relative to the reference orientation. The second orientation is different from the first orientation. The one or more processors may determine, in run-time, a second set of pixel sensors of the one or more image sensors that capture a second video content when the device is in the second orientation. An orientation of the captured second video content is same as an orientation of the captured first video content.
