Abstract: The disclosed techniques involve simulated reality systems, which can include a head mounted display (HMD) device that can remotely control a three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic camera rig based on position, motions, and/or orientation data of the HMD device. The system may include multiple video cameras arranged side-by-side on a rig to capture video feeds of a real-world environment that can be stitched together in real-time to create a single stereoscopic 3D, 180 degree video rendered with a HMD as a panoramic video. An example of a use case includes pairing automotive body shops and insurance claims adjusters, and allowing them to perform insurance claim adjustments remotely via a live peer-to-peer video. Further, a process of creating an algorithm that pairs vehicle damages with insurance claim adjusters who have experience with particular vehicle makes and models is disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting, encoding, and decoding video in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for transmitting video. The method includes steps for partitioning a current frame of video into a plurality of subgrids, identifying active subgrids from the plurality of subgrids for the current frame, generating a longcanvas includes a barcode and image data of the active subgrids, where the barcode includes location data indicating a location within the frame for each active subgrid, transmitting the longcanvas to a destination device.
