Video information and sensor information may be obtained. The video information may define spherical video content having a progress length. The spherical video content may define visual content viewable from a point a view as a function of progress through the progress length of the spherical video content. The spherical video content may be captured by one or more image capture devices. The sensor information may characterize capture of the spherical video content. A viewing direction for the spherical video content may be determined based on the sensor information and/or other information. The viewing direction may define a direction of view for the spherical video content from the point of view as the function of progress through the progress length of the spherical video content. The spherical video content may be presented on a display based on the viewing direction.

Systems and methods for identifying viewing directions for video content

Media capture apparatus and methods for obtaining metadata. Metadata may be collected and stored in a container independent of audio and/or image (media) content. Some container implementations may be configured to store metadata for a given interval, and media content for a portion of the interval. In action camera implementations, metadata may provide a context related to time, physical conditions of a person, location, surroundings of the video capture. In event recording applications, the metadata container may provide information related to a timeline of the event, environmental conditions, proximity of other capture devices. Metadata may be utilized for processing, viewing, and/or sharing of media content. Individual capture devices may communicate and/or combine metadata to one another in order to expand metadata content. Metadata, video and/or images may be shared between users and/or devices using a container.

Storage of metadata and images

Content proxy may be obtained. Content may include video captured by an action camera. Content proxy may include metadata information obtained contemporaneous with the content and stored in a session container. Content proxy may include lower data rate version of the content (thumbnails). Content proxy information may be viewed and/or analyzed in order to obtain one or more highlights. Content portion corresponding to the highlight may be obtained. Multiple versions of content proxy obtained by multiple cameras may be used to identify, display, and/or share content portions in a multi-camera/multiuser applications.

Apparatus and methods for manipulating multicamera content using content proxy

Systems and method of determining one or more activities performed during video capture are presented herein. Information defining a video may be obtained. The information defining the video may include content information, metadata information, and/or other information. The content information may define visual content of the video and/or other content of the video. The metadata information may include tracking information and/or other information. The tracking information may locations of the capture device as a function of progress through the video. One or more activity types being performed by an entity moving with the capture device during the previous capture may be determined based on the tracking information. For example, a location graph may be generated from the tracking information. The location graph may be used to determine one or more activity types that were performed.

Apparatus and methods for providing content context using session metadata

A method includes capturing data that is representative of actions performed by each of a plurality of human user operated clients as they interact with an online software application, loading at least one or more portions of the captured data into one or more automated simulation clients, and using the one or more automated simulation clients to perform load testing of an online server system. A system includes a data capturing stage, one or more automated simulation clients, and a configuration stage. A computer readable storage medium stores one or more computer programs that will cause a processor based system to execute steps including receiving data that was captured during a running of an online software application and that is representative of actions performed by each of a plurality of human user operated clients as they interacted with the online software application, and loading at least one or more portions of the data into one or more automated simulation clients that are configured to perform load testing of an online server system.
