Abstract
A 360-degree camera captures images from every direction. The user specifies the region of interest for the camera with a gesture, for example by pointing with one end of the device to a specific direction. The region of interest is saved as metadata with the image or video recording. The device may assign the user among multiple persons near the device by detecting from the omnidirectional view who has been the last person in physical contact with the device. The region of interest may be assigned with voice commands.
