Route Tapestries: Navigating 360 Virtual Tour Videos Using Slit-Scan Visualizations
summary
Route Tapestries construct continuous strip previews for 360° virtual tour videos by joining boundary pixel slices using slit-scan imaging after estimating camera paths and scene geometry with simultaneous localization and mapping. A desktop timeline shows left/right tapestries in spatial and temporal modes, jumps and recenters when clicked, and is validated in an online study against equirectangular previews and thumbnail strips, yielding 22% faster target-finding and 75% fewer misses.
