Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for capturing and displaying images so as to create a new way of visualizing images and to provide applications in virtual reality environments are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: capture an image at a position defined as a start point using the image capture device; move or rotate the image capture device in a circular path to capture a sequence of still images based on a time interval or an angle of rotation determined by the sensor device; and stay the image capture device in a fixed location for a certain period of time to enable the automatic capture of one or more video clips by use of the image capture device.
