A method and client for playing panoramic video

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for playing panoramic video and a client, including the client acquiring user viewing angle information and recommended viewing angle information of the panoramic video; the client determines the recommended viewing angle according to the user viewing angle information and recommended viewing angle information The corresponding viewing angle range is not within the viewing angle range corresponding to the user viewing angle; the client displays the image corresponding to the user viewing angle and the image corresponding to the recommended viewing angle. Through the panoramic video playback method provided above, during the playback of the panoramic video, the image of the recommended viewing angle can be prompted and presented without affecting the presentation of the user's viewing angle, so that the user can independently make a decision to switch the viewing angle, thereby ensuring The freedom of the user to switch the viewing angle independently, and the continuous playback of the images corresponding to the user's viewing angle, prevent the user from missing important content and improve the user experience.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of video processing, and more particularly to a panoramic video playback method and a client. Background technique [0002] The panoramic video is also called 360 degree video, refers to the use of multiple cameras to shoot the environment, and synthesize the panoramic video image by synchronizing, splicing, projection, etc., and consists of a plurality of angles. Panoramic video. When you watch panoramic videos, you can change your viewing angle at around around and below, gain a better viewing experience. [0003] The panoramic video contains information on multiple directions such as the shooting environment, which is limited to the viewpoint range of the human eye (about 120 degrees) and the viewing angle range of the display device (such as the point of view of the device on the market. Usually 96-110 degrees),, when the user can only see the content of a small part of the panoramic video, it is usually seen i...

Problems solved by technology

First of all, the client automatically switches the user's user perspective according to the recommended perspective sent by the server, which will cause a sudden switch of the screen and affect the user experience; and the content of the recommended perspective may not be the content that the user is interested in, and the automatic switching will interrupt the user's previous experience. viewing experience, causing users to resent

For example, when a user is watching a football game, his attention is attracted by some tidbits in the auditorium, and he turns his head to the auditorium. Users cannot watch the content they want to watch, which deprives users of the possibility to freely choose the user's viewing angle, thereby reducing the user experience

Furthermore, this solution will lead to confusion in the user's sense of space when viewing the panorama

For example, when wearing a helmet to watch a panoramic video, normally when the user's head is tilted to the left, the content on the left side should be displayed, so that the user can feel like being in it; but at this time, the screen suddenly switches to the recommended viewing angle containing key events on the right side, and the It will cause the user to turn his head to the left and see the content on the right, which is contrary to the user's sense of space
