Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein include a first device for receiving a communication signal from a second device, the first device including one or more processors configured to receive, in the communication signal, packets that represent a virtual image as part of a virtual teleportation of one or more visual objects embedded in the virtual image. The one or more processors may be configured to decode the packets that represent the virtual image, and output the virtual image at a physical location within a fixed environment. The first device may also include a memory configured to store the packets that represent the virtual image as part of the virtual teleportation of one or more visual objects embedded in the virtual image.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for including parameters that describe fisheye images in a 360-degree video with the 360-degree video. The 360-degree video can then be stored and/or transmitted as captured by the omnidirectional camera, without transforming the fisheye images into some other format. The parameters can later be used to map the fisheye images to an intermediate format, such as an equirectangular format. The intermediate format can be used to store, transmit, and/or display the 360-degree video. The parameters can alternatively or additionally be used to map the fisheye images directly to a format that can be displayed in a 360-degree video presentation, such as a spherical format.
