A method for encoding haptic information inside a multi-media file having content includes changing a portion of the content in the multi-media file, and adding the haptic information to the changed portion of the content, the haptic information corresponding to a haptic signal for generating a haptic effect upon playback of the multi-media file. A method for decoding haptic information from inside a multi-media file having content includes locating the haptic information inside the multi-media file, and generating a haptic signal based on the located haptic information during playback of the content of the multi-media file. A method includes receiving a multi-media signal comprising an audio signal and a haptic signal with a receiver of a haptic device, and outputting a haptic effect with a haptic output device of the haptic device based on the haptic signal in the multi-media signal.

Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes circuitry configured to receive a multiplexed image signal and sound signal from another information processing apparatus using a moving picture experts group (MPEG) 2-transport stream (TS); and perform control to cause reduction of data contained in a packetized elementary stream (PES) payload in a PES packet packed in a transport (TS) packet specified by a packet identifier (PID) specifying sound data transmission described in a program map table (PMT) and to extract a presentation time stamp (PTS) contained in a PES header portion of the PES packet after requesting the another information processing apparatus to reduce a sound data amount.

A spherical content capture system captures spherical video and audio content. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non-spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest. For each sub-frame, a corresponding portion of an audio track is generated that includes a directional audio signal having a directionality based on the selected sub-frame.
