Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for viewing panoramic images and videos through the selection of a particular viewing angle and window (zoom) within that panorama while allowing the viewer to simultaneously implement temporal transport control, allowing the video to be in a state of pause, play, fast forward, fast rewind, slow forward, slow rewind, or frame-by-frame. This capability may be used on video that is residing in memory on the viewer's viewing system, in a hard disk local to the viewer or in a shared location, or on a live buffered feed of video. A second capability of this apparatus and method relates to the use of a plurality of panoramic video or images from multiple synchronized cameras. In those cases, all panoramic video feeds are synchronized so that as a viewer pauses, rewinds, forwards a video in one panorama, all panoramas are time synchronized and go through the same states as the panorama being viewed. When the user selects a different panorama for viewing from a different camera, this panorama comes up in the same state as the panorama previously being viewed.
