System for guiding a user through an immersive experience

Abstract:

An immersive experience system has a display device and a processor. The processor receives media content including one or more normal video frames. Further, the processor tracks an orientation of the display device with respect to an intended focal point within an immersive experience. Moreover, the processor determines whether the orientation of the display device exceeds an angular displacement threshold. In response to a determination that the orientation of the display device does not exceed the angular displacement threshold, the processor renders a normal video frame from the received media content on a display device. Conversely, in response to a determination that the orientation of the display device exceeds the angular displacement threshold, the processor modifies one or more properties of the normal video frame to generate a modified video frame.
