360-degree video for large scale navigation with 3d interactable models

A system of authoring a three-dimensional (3D) presentation, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium capable of communicating with the at least one processor, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor and configured for:
• dividing a scene into a grid of segments, wherein at least one 360-degree camera records the scene from a center of each segment among the segments, wherein a size of the each segment is proportional to a complexity of an environment captured in the scene;
• creating at least one object within the scene for a user interaction with a 3D presentation of the scene in a context of a video stream;
• and
• using a logical center of the at least one object as a center point for recording a 360-degree video by the at least one 360-degree camera for use as a low fidelity background video when the user interacts with the 3D presentation of the scene, wherein the 3D presentation is based on a 3D model.

A system for authoring a three-dimensional (3D) presentation, comprising:

• at least one 360-degree camera that records a scene that is divided into a grid of equal-sized segments, wherein the at least one 360-degree camera records the scene from a center of each segment among the equal-sized segments, and a size of the each segment is proportional to a complexity of an environment captured in the scene;
• a 3D presentation, wherein at least one object is created within the scene for a user interaction with the 3D presentation of the scene in a context of a video stream;
• and
• wherein a logical center of the at least one object is used as a center point for recording a 360-degree video by the at least one 360-degree camera for use as a low fidelity background video when the user interacts with the 3D presentation of the scene, wherein the 3D presentation is based on a 3D model.
