Abstract
A spatial direction of a wearable device that represents an actual viewing direction of the wearable device is determined. The spatial direction of the wearable device is used to select, from a multi-view image comprising single-view images, a set of single-view images. A display image is caused to be rendered on a device display of the wearable device. The display image represents a single-view image as viewed from the actual viewing direction of the wearable device. The display image is constructed based on the spatial direction of the wearable device and the set of single-view images.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- determining a spatial direction of a wearable device, the spatial direction of the wearable device representing an actual viewing direction of the wearable device at a first time point;
- using the spatial direction of the wearable device that represents the actual viewing direction of the wearable device to select, from a multi-view image comprising a plurality of single-view images, a set of two or more single-view images corresponding to a set of two or more viewing directions at the first time point, each single-view image in the plurality of single-view images in the multi-view image (a) corresponding to a respective viewing direction in a plurality of viewing directions and (b) representing a view of the multi-view image from the respective viewing direction;
- causing a display image to be rendered on a device display of the wearable device, the display image representing a single-view image as viewed from the actual viewing direction of the wearable device at the first time point, the display image being constructed based at least in part on the spatial direction of the wearable device and the set of two or more single-view images corresponding to the set of two or more viewing directions.
A method, comprising:
- determining a spatial direction of a wearable device, the spatial direction of the wearable device representing an actual viewing direction of the wearable device at a first time point;
- receiving a set of two or more single-view images corresponding to a set of two or more viewing directions at the first time point, the spatial direction of the wearable device being used to select, from a multi-view image comprising a plurality of single-view images, single-view images into the set of two or more single-view images, each single-view image in the plurality of single-view images in the multi-view image (a) corresponding to a respective viewing direction in a plurality of viewing directions and (b) representing a view of the multi-view image from the respective viewing direction;
- constructing a display image based at least in part on the spatial direction of the wearable device and the set of two or more single-view images corresponding to the set of two or more viewing directions, the display image being rendered on a device display of the wearable device, the display image representing a single-view image as viewed from the actual viewing direction of the wearable device at the first time point.
