Abstract

A method and system for recording and playing a video are provided. The method includes receiving an input, from a first user, to start recording of the video. An orientation of a recording device is detected for a plurality of frames while recording the video. An input to stop recording of the video is then received. The video is stored in a video file and the orientation of the recording device for the plurality of frames is stored as metadata associated with the video file. The playing includes receiving an input to play the video from a second user. An orientation of a playing device is detected. The video file is accessed, and the video is played using the metadata, the input received from the second user, and the orientation of the playing device. The video file is used to control speed and direction of the video.

Claims

1. A method for recording a video, the method comprising:

receiving an input, from a first user, to start recording of the video;

detecting orientation of a recording device for a plurality of frames while recording the video;

receiving an input to stop recording of the video;

storing the video; and

storing the orientation of the recording device for the plurality of frames as metadata associated with a video file, the video file comprising the video and the metadata, wherein

the video file is used to control speed and direction of the video at time of playing based on the metadata, orientation of a playing device at time of playing, and input received from a second user.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detecting is performed using at least one of a gyroscope and an accelerometer.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising:

providing cues to the first user via a user interface of the recording device to constrain motion of the recording device.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising:

adding text as a layer above the video.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising:

providing at least one of augmented reality filters and visual filters to create effect on the video.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 and further comprising:

storing the filters in the video file as metadata.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising:

displaying current orientation of the recording device on a user interface of the recording device while recording the video.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video is a panoramic video.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 and further comprising at least one of:

previewing the video; and

editing the video.

10. A method for playing a video, the method comprising:

receiving an input to play the video;

detecting orientation of a playing device;

accessing a video file comprising the video and metadata, the metadata comprising orientation of a recording device for a plurality of frames while recording the video; and

playing the video using the metadata, the input, and the orientation of the playing device.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the input comprises at least one of:

an input received via a user interface of the playing device; and

movement of the playing device.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the playing comprises at least one of:

moving the video forward or backward in time; and

moving the video forward or backward in space.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein:

the accessing comprises determining augmented reality filter from the metadata; and

the playing comprises applying the augmented reality filter on the video based on the metadata.

14. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the system to perform a method for recording a video, the method comprising

receiving an input, from a first user, to start recording of the video;

detecting orientation of a recording device for a plurality of frames while recording the video;

receiving an input to stop recording of the video;

storing the video; and

storing the orientation of the recording device for the plurality of frames as metadata associated with a video file, the video file comprising the video and the metadata, wherein

the video file is used to control direction of the video in at least one of time and space at time of playing based on the metadata, orientation of a playing device at time of playing, and input received from a second user.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the detecting is performed using at least one of a gyroscope and an accelerometer.

16. The system as claimed in claim 14 and further comprising:

providing cues to the first user via a user interface of the recording device to constrain motion of the recording device.

17. The system as claimed in claim 14 and further comprising:

adding text as a layer above the video.

18. The system as claimed in claim 14 and further comprising:

providing at least one of augmented reality filters and visual filters to create effect on the video; and

storing the filters in the video file as metadata.

19. The system as claimed in claim 14 and further comprising:

displaying current orientation of the recording device on a user interface of the recording device while recording the video.

20. The system as claimed in claim 14 and further comprising at least one of:

previewing the video; and

editing the video.
