Viewing 3D photo galleries in VR

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• access a plurality of 3D photos to be concurrently and respectively displayed through a plurality of frames positioned in a virtual space, each of the plurality of 3D photos having an optimal viewing point in the virtual space;
• determine a reference point based on a head pose of a viewer within the virtual space;
• adjust each 3D photo of the plurality of 3D photos, which is to be displayed through an associated frame of the plurality of frames, by:
• rotating the 3D photo so that the optimal viewing point of the 3D photo substantially points at the reference point;
• translating the rotated 3D photo toward the reference point;
• and
• non-uniformly scaling the rotated and translated 3D photo based on a scaling factor determined using the reference point and a position of the associated frame through which the 3D photo is to be viewed;
• and
• rendering an image comprising the adjusted plurality of 3D photos as seen through the plurality of frames.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors and comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to:
• access a plurality of 3D photos to be concurrently and respectively displayed through a plurality of frames positioned in a virtual space, each of the plurality of 3D photos having an optimal viewing point in the virtual space;
• determine a reference point based on a head pose of a viewer within the virtual space;
• adjust each 3D photo of the plurality of 3D photos, which is to be displayed through an associated frame of the plurality of frames, by:
• rotating the 3D photo so that the optimal viewing point of the 3D photo substantially points at the reference point;
• translating the rotated 3D photo toward the reference point;
• and
• non-uniformly scaling the rotated and translated 3D photo based on a scaling factor determined using the reference point and a position of the associated frame through which the 3D photo is to be viewed;
• and
• rendering an image comprising the adjusted plurality of 3D photos as seen through the plurality of frames.
