Seamless transitions in large-scale video

A system comprising:

• at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor for executing the instructions stored on the memory, wherein execution of the instructions programs the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, via a user device, a video for presentation to a user, the video including a first plurality of sub-videos;
• identifying a first visual area of the video corresponding to a field of view of the user, the first visual area having an outer perimeter defining a region of the video that is to be presented to the user;
• displaying a first portion of the first plurality of sub-videos to the user, the first portion of the first plurality of sub-videos including sub-videos within the first visual area of the video;
• identifying a second visual area of the video, the second visual area having an outer perimeter defining a region surrounding the first visual area that is not displayed to the user, wherein the second visual area is non-overlapping with the first visual area that is displayed;
• simultaneously loading, while displaying the first portion of the first plurality of sub-videos to the user, a second portion of the first plurality of sub-videos, the second portion of the first plurality of sub-videos including sub-videos associated with the second visual area of the video;
• detecting a change in the field of view of the user from the first visual area to a third visual area within the second visual area;
• and
• transitioning from displaying the first portion of the first plurality of sub-videos to displaying a third portion of the first plurality of sub-videos to the user, the third portion of the first plurality of sub-videos including loaded sub-videos of the second portion of the first plurality of sub-videos within the third visual area of the video.
