MAPPING SOUND SPATIALIZATION FIELDS TO PANORAMIC VIDEO
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of mapping audio data of a real person, place and/or thing to image data of a panorama including the real person, place and/or thing, comprising:
- (a) processing the image data of the panorama including the real person, place and/or thing to show the image data from a selected viewing angle; and
(b) processing audio data of the real person, place and/or thing to map a sound spatialization field of the audio data to align with the selected viewing angle of the image data.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for mapping a sound spatialization field to a displayed panoramic image as the viewing angle of the panoramic image changes. As the viewing angle of the image data changes, the audio data is processed to rotate the captured sound spatialization field to the same extent. Thus, the audio data remains mapped to the image data whether the image data is rotated about a single axis or about more than one axis.

10. A system for presenting panoramic image data and associated audio data from a user-selected perspective, the image and audio data captured from a real person, place and/or thing, the system comprising:
-
a display for displaying images from the panoramic image data; an audio transmitter for providing audio associated with the panoramic image data; a controller for varying of the image data displayed on the display; and a computing device for mapping a sound spatialization field to the panoramic image data so that the audio transmitted by the audio source matches an image displayed by the display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable storage medium for programming a processor to perform a method of mapping audio data of a real person, place and/or thing to image data of a panorama including the real person, place and/or thing, comprising:
-
(a) displaying a first image generated from the image data of a first portion of the panorama including the real person, place or thing; (b) playing audio data to recreate a sound spatialization field aligned in three-dimensions with the image data of the real person place or thing; (c) receiving an indication to change a viewing angle of the image displayed in said step (a); (d) processing the image data to rotate an image displayed about one or more orthogonal axes; (e) displaying a second image generated from the image data of a second portion of the panorama including the real person, place or thing based on processing the image data in said step (d); (f) processing the audio data to rotate the sound spatialization field about the one or more orthogonal axes to the same extent the image was rotated in said step (d); and (g) playing the audio data to recreate the sound spatialization field processed in said step (f). - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
