Abstract
A method for managing wide view content in a virtual reality (VR) environment and an apparatus therefor are provided. The method includes receiving content covering 360 degree or a wider viewing angle than a viewing angle of a user of the first device and displaying, on the VR device, a first view displaying at least one portion of the content covering the viewing angle of the user on a first view area of a display of the VR device, and a second view covering 360 degree or the wider viewing angle of the content using convex projection on a second view area of the display.
Claims21
A method of managing wide view content in a virtual reality (VR) device, the method comprising:
- receiving content covering a wider viewing angle than a viewing angle of a user of the VR device;
- and
- displaying, on the VR device,
- a first view displaying at least one portion of the content covering the viewing angle of the user on a first view area of a display of the VR device, and
- a second view covering the wider viewing angle of the content using convex projection on a second view area of the display, the wider viewing angle including the viewing angle of the user.
An apparatus for managing wide view content, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication circuit for receiving content covering a wider viewing angle than a viewing angle of a user of the apparatus;
- and
- a display for displaying:
- a first view displaying at least one portion of the content covering the viewing angle of the user on a first view area, and
- a second view covering the wider viewing angle of the content using convex projection on a second view area, the wider viewing angle including the viewing angle of the user.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, the computer readable program, when executed on a first device, configured to execute instructions to cause the first device to:
- receive content covering a wider viewing angle than a viewing angle of a user of the first device;
- and
- display, on the first device,
- a first view displaying at least one portion of the content covering the viewing angle of the user on a first view area of a display of the first device, and
- a second view covering the wider viewing angle of the content using convex projection on a second view area of the display, the wider viewing angle including the viewing angle of the user.
