Abstract
A combined video of a scene may be generated for applications such as virtual reality or augmented reality. In one method, a camera system may be oriented at a first orientation and used to capture first video of a first portion of the scene. The camera system may then be rotated to a second orientation and used to capture second video of a second portion of the scene that is offset from the first portion such that the first video and the second video each have an overlapping video portion depicting an overlapping portion of the scene in which the first portion and the second portion of the scene overlap with each other. The first and second portions may be combined together to generate the combined video, which may depict the first and second portions substantially without duplicative inclusion of the overlapping video portion.
