Abstract
An image acquisition apparatus for acquiring an in-game 360 virtual reality (VR) image by using a plurality of virtual cameras includes a virtual camera group taking in-game images by using the plurality of virtual cameras. The image acquisition apparatus may also include a renderer generating textures for the taken images, generating a panoramic image by performing an equirectangular projection (ERP) mapping of the generated textures, and encoding the generated panoramic image. The image acquisition apparatus may further include an image generator generating a 360 VR image by combining audio information with the encoded panoramic image.
