Abstract

The disclosure describes using sharding generate virtual reality content. A method includes receiving raw virtual reality video data recorded by a camera array, wherein the camera array includes three or more camera modules. The method further includes defining shards of the raw virtual reality video data in a state file. The method further includes assigning each of the shards to a corresponding worker node in a set of worker nodes. The method further includes updating the state file to include metadata that describes a location of each of the shards at the corresponding worker node in the set of worker nodes. The method further includes providing the metadata to the set of worker nodes. The method further includes processing the shards to generate one or more virtual reality video renders for each shard, where each virtual reality video render combines the raw video feeds into a single video file.
