13. A panoramic imaging method, comprising:
-
capturing images with separated video cameras distributed around an object; storing at least one of the captured images in a first file format, wherein the at least one captured image is renderable according to a first set of information; and aligning the at least one captured image, wherein the aligning results in generation of a second set of information capable of being stored with the at least one captured image in a second file format, wherein the at least one captured image is renderable according to the second set of information.
