SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RE-ORIENTATION OF PANORAMIC IMAGES IN AN IMMERSIVE VIEWING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. In a computerized display device, a computerized method for reorientation of panoramic images in a limited field-of-view immersive viewing environment, the method comprising:
- orientating a device to affect the field of view (FOV) of a corresponding virtual panoramic reality FOV;
executing a user command resulting in a disassociation of the orientation within the immersive viewing environment and the orientation of the device in the real world;
changing a method of controlling the orientation of the panoramic FOV to a method through which the user command was issued;
tracking the change in orientation;
detecting when the change in orientation exceeds a threshold, and if so, re-orientate the virtual panoramic reality orientation and FOV to correspond to device orientation and implied FOV.

Abstract
A computerized display device re-orientates panoramic images in a limited field-of-view immersive viewing environment. The display device orientates to affect the field of view (FOV) of a corresponding virtual panoramic reality FOV. Upon executing a user command, the orientation within the immersive viewing environment is disassociated from the orientation of the device in the real world. The device tracks changes in orientation, and detects when the change in orientation exceeds a threshold, and if so, smoothly re-orientate the virtual panoramic reality orientation and FOV to correspond to device orientation and implied FOV.

12. A computerized mobile device configured to re-orientate the limited FOV of panoramic images in an immersive viewing environment, the mobile device comprising:
-
a motion detector configured to detect motion and/or orientation of the display device; a display configured to orientate a virtual panoramic reality FOV to a corresponding device orientation, wherein the orientation is based on the detected motion and/or orientation of the mobile device; and a processor configured to; receive a user command resulting in a disassociation of the device orientation from the virtual panoramic reality FOV; track the change in device orientation and virtual panoramic reality FOV; and when the change in orientation exceeds a threshold, and if so, re-orientate the virtual panoramic reality orientation and FOV to correspond to device orientation and implied FOV. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
