Natural appearance of transition from a predetermined object of two-dimensional content displayed on a two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional display model of an AR display device or vice versa is achieved. Control is performed such that, the transition is performed after switching the two-dimensional content from the motion parallax non-application display to the motion parallax application display. For example, control is performed such that the motion parallax application display is displayed on the two-dimensional display in a case where there is one AR display device, and the motion parallax application display is displayed on the AR display device in a case where there is a plurality of AR display devices.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving content that includes a 360-degree video, determining that guidance is enabled with respect to the content, obtaining an input responsive to determining that the guidance is enabled, and obtaining the guidance with respect to a playback of the content, where the obtained guidance is based on the input. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for integrating audio into a multi-view interactive digital media representation. According to particular embodiments, one process includes retrieving a multi-view interactive digital media representation that includes numerous images fused together into content and context models. The process next includes retrieving and processing audio data to be integrated into the multi-view interactive digital media representation. A first segment of audio data may be associated with a first position in the multi-view interactive digital media representation. In other examples, a first segment of audio data may be associated with a visual position or the location of a camera in the multi-view interactive digital media representation. The audio data may be played in coordination with the multi-view interactive digital media representation based on a user's navigation through the multi-view interactive digital media representation, where the first segment is played when the first position or first visual position is reached.

An image generation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology is an image generation apparatus that generates multi-viewpoint image data for displaying a multi-viewpoint image at a predetermined frame rate, and includes a first generation unit, a generation control unit, and a second generation unit. The first generation unit is capable of generating a plurality of viewpoint images corresponding to a plurality of viewpoint positions. The generation control unit sets one or more target viewpoint positions, which are a part of the plurality of viewpoint positions, for each frame, and causes the first generation unit to generate one or more target viewpoint images corresponding to the set one or more target viewpoint positions. The second generation unit generates the multi-viewpoint image data using the one or more target viewpoint images generated for each frame.
