First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for sequentially recording a sequence of video images, comprising:
- circuitry for obtaining a plurality of different and complete video images, each of said different video images being of a different field of view to form a 360 degree scene;
circuitry for controlling said circuitry for obtaining said plurality of different video images, to select a portion of said plurality of different video images corresponding to a selected number of said plurality of different video images;
circuitry to control the selection of said portion of said plurality of different video images by selecting either lines or frames of said plurality of different video images;
circuitry to output said portion of said plurality of different video images corresponding to said selected number of said plurality of said different video images;
circuitry to sequentially record said portion of said plurality of different video images corresponding to said selected number of said plurality of different video images to form said sequence of video images.

Abstract
A 360 degree scene is obtained by image generating devices. These image generating devices obtain a plurality of different video images, each of the image generating devices obtain a different video image of a different field of view of the scene. These different video images are sequentially recorded for use in a virtual reality system.
