Abstract

In this paper, we propose a real-time panoramic video streaming system with overlaid interface concept for social media. The proposed system provides real-time panorama images for smart displays such as smart TVs, smart phones, and tablet PCs. Panorama images are collected at sporting events via panorama cameras. Contents thus collected are sent to servers and then provided to smart devices via live sports video streams. Users select a panorama camera and choose their viewing angle and zooming factor for the selected panorama camera. The proposed system provides immersive and realistic views of live sporting events on users’ displays. Furthermore, an overlaid panoramic interface concept is proposed for immersive live baseball watching combined with tightly integrated social media experience.
