Abstract

A method for providing content includes determining a viewing direction of a user viewing a content item comprising a plurality of video streams, selecting two or more video streams of the content item based on the viewing direction of the user and directional data associated with the plurality of video streams, decoding the two or more video streams to form two or more decoded video streams, stitching the two or more decoded video streams to form a combined image, and causing the combined image to be displayed to the user. Systems perform similar steps and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums each store one or more computer programs.
