Method and apparatus for generating and displaying 360-degree video based on eye tracking and physiological measurements

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operative, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• display multi-view video on a head mounted display (HMD) device of a user, the multi-view video associated with a point of view of a camera operator;
• responsive to determining that a point of view of the user overlaps with the point of view of the camera operator, set an effect intensity as a function of an amount of overlap between the point of view of the camera operator and the point of view of the user,
• wherein the point of view of the user is defined by a viewable display of the HMD device;
• and
• use an effect, in accordance with the effect intensity, to highlight an object of interest in the displayed multi-view video.

A method comprising:

• displaying multi-view video on a head mounted display (HMD) device of a user, the multi-view video associated with a point of view of a camera operator;
• rendering, within a point of view of the user and while the point of view of the user overlaps with the point of view of camera operator, as part of the displayed multi-view video, an object of interest identified as being in the point of view of the camera operator, the point of view of the user being defined by a viewable display of the HMD device;
• and
• responsive to determining that the point of view of the user no longer overlaps with the point of view of the camera operator, implementing a display effect to continue rendering the identified object of interest within the point of view of the user.
