Abstract
Despite recent technological innovations in the media authoring ecosystem, one example being the ability to video record a scene with a 360 degree or so-called omni-directional field of view, video consumption to date largely remains a lean-back type of endeavor. This paper fuses the Augmented Video Viewing paradigm with 360 degree video technology to give rise to augmented Omni-Directional Video (ODV), a novel content format that holds promise to more deeply engage viewers and that unlocks more active ways of interacting with omni-directional video footage. The augmented ODV principle is exposed through a collection of standards-compliant Web interfaces to ease adoption by developers. At the same time, its Web-driven design maximizes the applicability of the technology, both in terms of consumption platforms and usage domains. Two use case prototypes showcase the artistic expressiveness of the augmented ODV methodology, while performance evaluation results establish the modest computational footprint of its implementation.
