Abstract: A panoramic display system includes a camera, a processor and a display device for displaying images for a user. The camera recognizes a facial location and a facial orientation of a user relative to the display device, and tracks the pupil orientation of the user relative to the display device. The processor derives an object of interest base on the facial location and the pupil orientation of the user. The processor can also derive a field of view of the user based on the facial location and the facial orientation of the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for stitching and sharing panoramas. In one embodiment, a computerized mobile device downsizes a plurality of captured images. The mobile device transmits the downsized images to a server with a panoramic stitcher. The server analyzes the downsized images and generates stitching parameters for the mobile device. The mobile device uses the stitching parameters to stitch the plurality of captured images into a panorama which can be shared with one or more recipients.

Abstract: A mobile device is configured to teleshift from a first lateral viewing perspective to a second lateral viewing perspective of a virtual tour object. The mobile device includes a sensor, a processor and a display. The sensor detects a teleshifting motion of the mobile device caused by a user, and the processor determines if a magnitude of the teleshifting motion is greater than a threshold. If the magnitude of the teleshifting motion is greater than the threshold, then the display teleshifts by transitioning from a first lateral viewing perspective to a second lateral viewing perspective of the virtual tour.

Abstract: A mobile device is configured to receive requests for panoramas and related supplemental panoramic data from a user. If the user elects to view supplemental panoramic data, the mobile device retrieves the supplemental panoramic data from a datasource server, and presents the at least one supplemental panoramic data together with the requested panorama to the user. In some embodiments, the supplemental panoramic data is associated with placement data from the datasource server. Examples of supplemental panoramic data include temporal data, climatic data, geographical data, marketing data, announcement data and contact data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for efficiently storing panoramic image data with flex-focal metadata for subsequent display of pseudo three-dimensional panoramas derived from two-dimensional image sources. The panorama display system includes a camera, a processor and a display device. The camera is configured to determine a current user field of view (FOV). The processor retrieves and processes at least one image associated with a panorama together with associated flex-focal metadata in accordance with the current user FOV, and generates a current panoramic image for the display device.
