Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented process for dynamically viewing a wide angle image while zooming between a wide angle view and a narrower angle view, the process comprising using a computer to perform the following process actions for each view of the wide angle image to be presented to a user:

  • establishing a field of view desired for the view to be presented; and

    rendering and displaying the view based on the established field of view, such that the projection transitions between a perspective projection representing a projection onto a planar surface associated with narrower angle views and a non-perspective projection representing a projection onto a non-planar surface associated with wider-angle views.
