Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for improving a display of panoramic video data by including a first angle indicator, as a visual representation of a direction of a displayed portion of the panoramic video data relative to a reference location, along with a second angle indicator indicating an object of interest. The second angle indicator may display a fixed angle or a recommended angle to improve navigation within the panoramic video data. The fixed angle may be determined by the user or the device and may remain stationary during playback of the panoramic video data, allowing the user to switch between directional views without panning. The recommended angle may be determined based on a location of a tracked object, allowing the user to display the tracked object without panning. The second angle indicator may be represented by an icon illustrating the object of interest.
