Abstract: An exemplary virtualized projection generation system ("system") receives a plurality of captured surface data frame sequences each including color and depth frames depicting a real-world scene in accordance with a respective set of capture parameters included in a plurality of sets of capture parameters associated with different views of the real-world scene. The system identifies an additional set of capture parameters associated with a customized view of the real-world scene distinct from the different captured views. Based on the captured surface data frame sequences and the additional set of capture parameters, the system renders color and depth frames for a virtualized projection of the customized view of the real-world scene. The system then provides a virtualized surface data frame sequence including the rendered color and depth frames for the virtualized projection of the customized view of the real-world scene for inclusion within virtual reality media content.
