Abstract
An image display apparatus includes a display configured to display a first image corresponding to a region of a 360-degree image, and to display an indicator in a three-dimensional (3D) shape including a pointer pointing to a location of the region, a sensor configured to sense an input for moving the region, and a controller configured to control movement of the region and to display a second image corresponding to a region to which the region has been moved, and to move the pointer within the indicator based on the movement of the region. The pointer is movable in an altitudinal direction and an azimuthal direction within the indicator.
Claims15
An image display apparatus configured to display a 360-degree image, the image display apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to display a first image corresponding to a region of the 360-degree image, and to display an indicator in a three-dimensional (3D) shape including a pointer pointing to a location of the region;
- a sensor configured to sense an input for moving the region;
- and
- a controller configured to control movement of the region and to display of a second image corresponding to a region to which the region has been moved, and to move the pointer within the indicator based on the movement of the region,
- wherein the pointer is movable in an altitudinal direction and an azimuthal direction within the indicator.
A method of operating an image display apparatus configured to display a 360-degree image, the method comprising:
- displaying a first image corresponding to a region of the 360-degree image, and displaying an indicator in a three-dimensional (3D) shape including a pointer pointing to a location of the region;
- sensing an input for moving the region;
- and
- moving the region, displaying a second image corresponding to a region to which the region has been moved, and moving the pointer within the indicator based on the movement of the region,
- wherein the pointer is movable in an altitudinal direction and an azimuthal direction within the indicator.
