Systems and methods for content streaming
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can obtain a spherical media content item that captures at least one scene from a plurality of different positions. A three-dimensional object with a plurality of faces that converge at a point is determined. At least a first portion of the spherical media content item is mapped to at least a first face in the plurality of faces.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by a computing system, a spherical media content item that captures at least one scene from a plurality of different positions;
determining, by the computing system, a three-dimensional object with one or more faces that converge at a point, wherein the three-dimensional object corresponds to a teardrop shape; and
mapping, by the computing system, at least a first portion of the spherical media content item to at least a first face in the one or more faces.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein mapping at least the first portion of the spherical media content item to at least the first face further comprises:
causing, by the computing system, the first portion of the spherical media content item to be projected onto the first face.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first portion corresponds to a first view of the scene, and wherein the first face corresponds to a base region of the three-dimensional object.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , the method further comprising:
causing, by the computing system, a second portion of the spherical media content item to be projected onto a second face in the plurality of faces, wherein the second face corresponds to a side region of the three-dimensional object.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the first portion being projected onto the first face has a higher graphical quality than the second portion being projected onto the second face.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein a graphical quality at which the second portion is being projected onto the second face becomes progressively lower as the second face converges at the point.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional object includes a base to which the plurality of faces are connected, and wherein the plurality of faces converge at an apex.
8. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
obtaining a spherical media content item that captures at least one scene from a plurality of different positions;
determining a three-dimensional object with one or more faces that converge at a point, wherein the three-dimensional object corresponds to a teardrop shape; and
mapping at least a first portion of the spherical media content item to at least a first face in the one or more faces.
9. The system claim 8 , wherein mapping at least the first portion of the spherical media content item to at least the first face further causes the system to perform:
causing the first portion of the spherical media content item to be projected onto the first face.
10. The system claim 9 , wherein the first portion corresponds to a first view of the scene, and wherein the first face corresponds to a base region of the three-dimensional object.
11. The system claim 9 , wherein the system further performs:
causing a second portion of the spherical media content item to be projected onto a second face in the plurality of faces, wherein the second face corresponds to a side region of the three-dimensional object.
12. The system claim 11 , wherein the first portion being projected onto the first face has a higher graphical quality than the second portion being projected onto the second face.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
obtaining a spherical media content item that captures at least one scene from a plurality of different positions;
determining a three-dimensional object with one or more faces that converge at a point, wherein the three-dimensional object corresponds to a teardrop shape; and
mapping at least a first portion of the spherical media content item to at least a first face in the one or more faces.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein mapping at least the first portion of the spherical media content item to at least the first face further causes the computing system to perform:
causing the first portion of the spherical media content item to be projected onto the first face.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the first portion corresponds to a first view of the scene, and wherein the first face corresponds to a base region of the three-dimensional object.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the computing system further performs:
causing a second portion of the spherical media content item to be projected onto a second face in the plurality of faces, wherein the second face corresponds to a side region of the three-dimensional object.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the first portion being projected onto the first face has a higher graphical quality than the second portion being projected onto the second face.
