Abstract: Content hosting for composite video is described using metadata and user identification. A user management module registers a first user ID for a primary device, a second user ID for a secondary device, a session ID for a session between the primary device and the secondary device, and a player device with a third user ID and privileges to view a composite video. A content hosting module receives a first video associated with the first user ID and the session ID and a second video associated with the second user ID and the session ID. The first and second videos include metadata regarding time and position. The content hosting module serves a composite video to the player device in response to a request associated with the third user ID. A content preparation module forms the composite video using the first video and the second video.

Abstract: Collaborative video capture and sharing is described. A login to a primary device is received from a first user. A session is formed between the primary device and a secondary device. A start command and a stop command are sent during the session from the primary device to the secondary device to cause the secondary device to begin and stop a take. The session ID and an identification of the devices of the session are loaded to a remote data store from the primary device through the primary device communications interface. The take at the primary device is uploaded into the remote data store through the primary device communications interface with the session ID, and the primary device ID; and the secondary device uploads the take of the secondary device camera into the remote data store through the secondary device communications interface with the secondary device ID.

Abstract: A suggested viewport indication is generated and sent for use in a panoramic video. In one example, a method includes receiving encoded video including viewport metadata, decoding the video, extracting the viewport metadata, generating a viewport of the decoded video based on the viewport metadata, and buffering the generated viewport for display.

Abstract: Spherical rotation is described for encoding a video that has a wide field of view, such as a spherical or hemispherical video. One example relates to receiving encoded video including rotation orientation metadata, decoding the video, extracting the rotation orientation metadata, rotating the decoded video based on the rotation orientation metadata, generating a view of the rotated decoded video, and buffering the generated view for display.

Abstract: Rectilinear viewport extraction from a region of a wide field of view is described using messaging in the video transmission field. Some embodiments pertain to a method that includes receiving a wide field of view video, receiving position data from a remote coupled user device, selecting a region of interest in the video based on the received position data, extracting the region of interest from the video, generating region metadata describing the extracted region of interest, encoding the extracted region of interest of the video, and transmitting the encoded video with the region metadata to the user device.

Abstract: An example apparatus for encoding immersive video includes a view optimizer to receive a plurality of input views from a source camera and select basic views and additional views from the plurality of input views. The apparatus also includes a view pruner to prune the additional views based on a comparison with the basic views. The apparatus further includes a patch packer to generate atlases based on the pruned additional views and the basic views. The apparatus includes a metadata composer to generate metadata including additional metadata. The apparatus also further includes a bitstream generator to generate a bitstream including the encoded video and the metadata.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology to improve user experience when viewing simulated 3D objects on a display. Head and upper-body movements may be tracked and recognized as gestures to alter the displayed viewing angle. The technology provides for a very natural way to look around, under, or over objects.

Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include an application processor, persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the application processor, a graphics subsystem communicatively coupled to the application processor, a power budget analyzer to identify a power budget for one or more of the application processor, the persistent storage media, and the graphics subsystem, a target analyzer communicatively coupled to the graphics subsystem to identify a target for the graphics subsystem, and a parameter adjuster to adjust one or more parameters of the graphics subsystem based on one or more of the identified power budget and the identified target.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include at least one processor to: access frames captured at a first resolution by an image sensor; reduce ones of the frames to a second resolution lower than the first resolution, the ones of the frames at the second resolution interleaved with the frames at the first resolution in an interleaved video sequence; and buffer the interleaved video sequence; and a video encoder to: access the interleaved video sequence; and generate an encoded video sequence of frames at the first resolution by combining the frames of the interleaved video sequence.
