Patent attributes
A viewing device, such as a virtual reality headset, allows a user to view a panoramic scene captured by one or more video capture devices that may include multiple cameras that simultaneously capture 360° video data. The viewing device may display the panoramic scene in real time and change the display in response to moving the viewing device and/or changing perspectives by switching to video data being captured by a different video capture device within the environment. Moreover, multiple video capture devices located within an environment can be used to create a three-dimensional representation of the environment that allows a user to explore the three-dimensional space while viewing the environment in real time.
