What is the Spherical Video PTZ?

This application, developed by RidgeRun, allows users to easily pan, tilt, and zoom over an image. It is designed to support both NVIDIA GPU devices and systems without an NVIDIA GPU, ensuring optimal performance on any device. You can pan and tilt the image from 0° to 360° and zoom-in or zoom-out from 0.1x to 10x. Use the following picture as a guide:

Features

Spherical Video PTZ uses 360-degree videos and generates an output projection depending on where the user is located in the image. The user interacts with the video through pan, tilt, and zoom properties to position themselves as desired, creating an effect where the user feels physically present at the capture location. The following subsections show examples of the application for each of the properties based on the following image:
