Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are described for providing real-time capture, processing, and distribution of panoramic virtual reality (VR) content. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processor comprises a video interface to receive a first plurality of images from a corresponding first plurality of cameras; an image rectifier to perform a perspective re-projection of at least some of the first plurality of images to a common image plane to generate a rectified first plurality of images; a stitcher to analyze overlapping regions of adjacent images in the rectified first plurality and to identify corresponding pixels in the overlapping regions and to stitch the adjacent images in accordance with the corresponding pixels to generate a panoramic image comprising a stitched combination of the rectified first plurality of images; and a cylindrical projector to project the panoramic image onto a cylindrical surface to generate a final panoramic video image to be used to implement a virtual reality (VR) environment on a VR apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are described for providing real-time capture, processing, and distribution of panoramic virtual reality (VR) content of a live event. One or more triggering events are identified and used to generate graphics and/or audio on client VR devices. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: capturing video of an event at an event venue with a plurality of cameras to produce a corresponding plurality of video streams; generating a virtual reality (VR) stream based on the plurality of video streams; transmitting the VR stream to a plurality of client VR devices, wherein the client VR devices are to render VR environments based on the VR stream; detecting a triggering event during the event; and transmitting an indication of the triggering event to the plurality of client VR devices, wherein a first client VR device is to generate first event-based graphics and/or first event-based audio in accordance with the indication.
