Abstract: Variable image projection for spherical visual content may be provided by obtaining visual information defining an image of the spherical visual content and a field of view for the spherical visual content. A location of a projection point may be determined based on the field of view. A two-dimensional projection of the spherical visual content may be determined by projecting pixels of the image within the field of view to the two-dimensional projection plane. Individuals pixels of the image may be projected along individual projection lines including the projection point and the individual pixel. Presentation of the two-dimensional projection of the spherical visual content may be effectuated.

Abstract: Spherical video content may define visual content viewable from a point of view as a function of progress through the spherical video content. The spherical video content may include an event of interest that occurs within an event moment and within an event extent of the visual content. The spherical video content may be presented on a display. Display fields of view defining extents of the visual content viewable from the point of view may be determined. The display fields of view may define a display extent of the visual content at the event moment. Whether the event extent is located within the display extent during the presentation of the spherical video content at the event moment may be determined. Responsive to a determination that the event extent is located outside the display extent, visual/audio effect may be applied to the presentation of the spherical video content.

Abstract: First visual information defining the visual content in a first projection may be accessed. Second visual information defining lower versions of the visual content in the first projection may be accessed. A transformation of the visual content from the first projection to a second projection may be determined. The transformation may include a visual compression of a portion of the visual content in the first projection. The portion may be identified. An amount of the visual compression of the portion may be determined. One or more lower resolution versions of the visual content may be selected. The visual content may be transformed using the one or more lower resolution versions of the visual content.
