  • Graphical object overlays for 360 degree cameras
    Patent number: 10182222
    Abstract: An omnidirectional camera is disclosed that records spherical video associated with a particular focal direction while in motion. The omnidirectional camera may implement one or more sensors and location-determining components to facilitate the recorded spherical video being subsequently correlated to an orientation and location of the omnidirectional camera during recording in a time-wise fashion to provide several enhancements during playback. These enhancements include reorienting the spherical video to a new focal direction. Data derived from the one or more sensors and location-determining components may be further utilized to overlay graphical objects onto the spherical video during playback to provide additional feedback.
