Abstract
In an example embodiment, method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes facilitating receipt of a plurality of VR contents and a plurality of video contents associated with an event captured by a plurality of VR cameras and a plurality of user camera devices, respectively. Each of the plurality of VR cameras comprises a plurality of camera modules with respective field of views (FOVs) associated with the event. The FOVs of the plurality of user camera devices are linked with respective FOVs of camera modules of the plurality of VR cameras based on at least a threshold degree of similarity between the FOV of the user camera device and the FOV of the camera module. The processor creates an event VR content by combining the plurality of VR contents and the plurality of video contents based on the linking of the FOVs.
