Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods, apparatus or systems for determining an aiming direction () of a remote motorized camera (). The immersive video content captured by the camera () is associated with reference directions (). Parameters of a discrepancy function () are calculated. This function is used to control the aiming direction () of the camera. It introduces a discrepancy between the rotation wanted by the user () and the rotation of the camera (). An example purpose of the present disclosure is to encourage a user to rotate the camera toward reference directions, preventing him/her to rotate the camera toward the opposite direction. The present principles have the advantage to create pseudo-haptic effects, inciting the user to look toward a reference direction without making him/her sick.
