    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.

    Abstract: A system and method for virtual camera configuration and selection. For example, one embodiment of a system comprises: a decode subsystem comprising circuitry to concurrently decode a plurality of video streams captured by cameras at an event to generate decoded video streams from a perspective of corresponding virtual cameras (VCAMs); video evaluation logic to apply at least one video quality metric to determine a quality value for the decoded video streams or a subset thereof, and to rank the decoded video streams based, at least in part, on the quality values associated with the decoded video streams; preview logic to provide the decoded video streams or modified versions thereof to one or more computing devices accessible to one or more video production team members and to further provide the quality values and/or the rank generated by the video quality evaluation logic; stream selection hardware logic to select a subset of the plurality of decoded video streams based on input from the one or more video production team members; and transcoder hardware logic to transcode the subset of the plurality of decoded video streams for live transmission over a public or private network.
