A method for rendering a current image on a head-mounted display is provided. The current image has been acquired by a camera mounted on a moving object. First, the capturing roll angle is obtained. It is compared to the viewing roll angle that is the current roll angle of the head of a user of the head-mounted display. If the difference between the capturing roll angle and the current viewing roll angle is lower than a determined threshold, a detection flag is activated. The current image is then rotated by an angle determined according to the capturing roll angle, the current viewing roll angle and of the detection flag. The current rotated image is rendered.

An encoder and encoding method map haptic effects for various haptic channels to a plurality of areas of a body model. The haptic channels represent temperature, vibration, or similar such effects for use by haptic actuators, for example. Each channel comprises signals to represent a timestamp, face locations and identifiers, and spatial and temporal resolution values to control effect resolutions for various parts of the body for a particular effect controlled by that channel. The haptic channels are multiplexed together to form a composite signal that can control various effects to a plurality of body locations.

Method and schemes for perceptually driven encoding of haptic effects

A method of encoding a packet of data representative of a haptic effect, the haptic affect being associated with an immersive content is described. The method includes adding a first information in the packet, the first information being representative of a dependency of said haptic effect with regard to a position of a body model in relation to the immersive content. Thereafter, a second information in the packet is added, the second information being representative of at least a first part of the body model targeted by the haptic effect. A method for decoding the packet and corresponding devices are also described.
