Abstract
This paper presents a panoramic broadcasting system for mobile entertainment using 3G network or WIFI where multiple viewers share an experience but each having full control of what they see independent from other viewers. Our solution involves a compact real-time spherical video recording setup that compresses and transmits data from six digital video cameras to a central host computer, which in turn distributes the recorded information among multiple render- and streaming servers for personalized viewing over 3G mobile networks or the Internet. In addition, using advanced computer vision, tracking and animation features, our architecture introduces the notion of Clickable Content (CC) where each visual element in the image becomes a source for providing further information, educational content or advertising. Therefore the PanoMOBI system offers a low-cost and economical solution for personalized content management and it can serve as a unified basis for novel applications.
