Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for varying panning speeds of images based on saliency such that 360-degree images, panoramic images, video images and/or other wide view area images may be efficiently displayed by varying the panning speed such that the user focuses on salient portions of the image.

As a user pans from one area to another, while the user pans over a salient portion of the image, the actual reflected panning may occur at a relatively slower speed than when the user pans over an area not including a salient portion, or a less salient portion.
