Abstract
In some implementations, a 360-degree camera includes two wide-angle lenses that provide a spherical view of a scene. The 360-degree camera is configured to be connected to a computing device for rendering the captured images. The user interface provides for the ability to present several camera views simultaneously, where each camera view is operated independently from the other camera views, such that the view may be changed during display by the user by changing the orientation. A plurality of rendering processes is executed in parallel to provide the data for each of the views and the output from each process is combined for presentation on the display. Additionally, a plurality of different combinations of multiple view layouts are provided, such as a circular view inside a rectangular view, a view that splits the display into equal separate views, and three or four independent camera views displayed simultaneously.
