Abstract

A multimedia distribution system enables a user to view 2D video content in a conventional 2D or 'flat' viewing mode, or if the system is VR/AR enabled and the user is so inclined, a representation of a modeled 3D space may be provided or accessed in association with the 2D video content, and the 2D video content may be projected onto a specified surface within the modeled 3D space for viewing by the user as though the 2D video were being displayed at that surface/location within the modeled 3D space. Further, the pose of the user may be monitored and the projection of the 2D video content updated accordingly to match the user's current pose and view into the modeled 3D space.
