Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for sequencing views retrieved from a spherical still image file provide the viewer the perception of video performance with low bandwidth transmission. The method incorporates digital transmission and automatic sequencing of the playback of the view. The apparatus provides video-motion rate images via low bandwidth digital transmissions or small data files from a still image taken of an inanimate environment. The resulting method and apparatus allows the viewer to experience a video display of any environment (for example, real estate locations, malls, museums, and hotels) and view a 'video' tour of the location through a low bandwidth transmission.
