Abstract

360° video is a special form of digital content which provides visual details of 360° world around the viewer. While watching such video using head mounted display (HMD), it immerses the viewer with experience of a different place. This paper introduces a novel authoring tool which enables the viewers to create multiple interesting experiences of a 360° video. Viewers can read descriptions of experiences provided by their creators and choose anyone to watch. This tool assists users to efficiently follow the selected experiences while watching 360° video. Major challenge in existing authoring tools is that they are difficult to learn. We have made authoring easy for user to create experiences of 360° video by simply watching in virtual reality by wearing an HMD. Another problem in previous authoring tools is that it is difficult to author multiple video experiences of a 360° video. This authoring tool has made it easy.
