Abstract

A system includes a camera for capturing a first panorama view. The system determines a first bearing of a person within the first panorama view, and a first gaze direction of the person within the first panorama view. The system receives, from an external source, a second panorama view, a second bearing of the person within the second panorama view, and a second gaze direction of the person within the second panorama view. The system selects, by comparing the first gaze direction and the second gaze direction, a selected panorama view and a selected bearing of the person. The system forms a localized subscene video signal based on the selected panorama view along the selected bearing of the person. The system generates a stage view signal based on the localized subscene video signal, and composites a composited signal comprising the stage view signal.
