An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the memory comprising machine-readable instructions, that when executed cause the apparatus to:

• display a panoramic menu in which a first panoramic menu item and a second panoramic menu item are simultaneously displayed, wherein the first panoramic menu item extends beyond a user's field of view and is associated with a first mediated reality content, and the second panoramic menu item extends beyond the user's field of view and is associated with a second mediated reality content, different from the first mediated reality content;
• identify an object of interest in one of the first mediated reality or the second mediated reality content according to a focus of a user on the object in the first mediated reality content or the second mediated reality;
• determine a presence of the object of interest in the other of the first mediated reality content or the second mediated reality content in which the user is focused on the object, wherein the object of interest is positioned beyond the user's field of view in the other of the first mediated reality or the second mediated reality;
• in response to determining a presence of the object of interest, rotate the display of the other of the first mediated reality or the second mediated reality, associated with the respective first and second panoramic menu items, such that the object of interest is displayed in the respective first or second panoramic menu items and within the user's field of view;
• in an instance the object of interest is detected in a third mediated reality content, add a third panoramic menu item to the panoramic menu, wherein the third panoramic menu item extends beyond the user's field of view and is associated with the third mediated reality content;
• and
• in an instance the object of interest is detected in the third mediated reality content and is not detected in the second mediated reality content, switch a vertical position of the second panoramic menu item and the third panoramic menu item.

At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, perform:

• display a panoramic menu in which a first panoramic menu item and a second panoramic menu item are simultaneously displayed, wherein the first panoramic menu item extends beyond a user's field of view and is associated with a first mediated reality content, and the second panoramic menu item extends beyond a user's field of view and is associated with a second mediated reality content, different from the first mediated reality content;
• identify an object of interest in one of the first mediated reality content or the second mediated reality content according to a focus of a user on the object in the first mediated reality or the second mediated reality;
• determine a presence of the object of interest in the other of the first mediated reality content or the second mediated reality content in which the user is focused on the object, wherein the object of interest is positioned beyond the user's field of view in the other of the first mediated reality or the second mediated reality;
• in response to determining a presence of the object of interest, rotate the display of the other of the first mediated reality or the second mediated reality, associated with the respective first and second panoramic menu items such that the object of interest is displayed in the respective first or second panoramic menu items and within the user's field of view;
• in an instance the object of interest is detected in a third mediated reality content, add a third panoramic menu item to the panoramic menu, wherein the third panoramic menu item extends beyond the user's field of view and is associated with the third mediated reality content;
• and
• in an instance the object of interest is detected in the third mediated reality content and is not detected in the second mediated reality content, switch a vertical position of the second panoramic menu item and the third panoramic menu item.
