Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3)) (54) Title: ADVANCED SIGNALLING OF REGIONS OF INTEREST IN OMNIDIRECTIONAL VISUAL MEDIA (57) : In various implementations, modifications and/or addi- 1 ow tions to the ISOBMFF can indicate that a file that has been formatted according to the ISOBMFF, or a format derived from the ISOBMFF, in- cludes virtual reality content. The file can include a restricted scheme in- formation box, written into a track box in the file. The restricted scheme information box can indicate a virtual reality scheme for the contents of the track. For example, a signaling mechanism may indicate a most- viewed viewport associated with the virtual reality data. EXTRACT THE VIRTUAL REALITY DATA FROM THE FILE, WHEREIN THE VIRTUAL REALITY DATA IS STORED IN THE FILE IN ACCORDANCE WITH A FILE FORMAT, WHEREIN THE FILE FORMAT SPECIFIES PLACEMENT WITHIN THE FILE OF THE VIRTUAL REALITY DATA AND SPECIFIES PLACEMENT WITHIN THE FILE OF INFORMATION !ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIRTUAL REALITY DATA, WHEREIN THE INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIRTUAL REALITY DATA IS STORED WITHIN A TRACK BOX 1004 EXTRACT A SAMPLE ENTRY FROM THE TRACK BOX, WHEREIN THE SAMPLE ENTRY IS ASSOCIATED WITH ONE OR MORE SAMPLES, WHEREIN THE SAMPLE ENTRY INDICATES THAT THE TRACK IS A TIMED METADATA TRACK THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON A MOST- VIEWED VIEWPORT ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIRTUAL REALITY DATA 1 006 FIG. 10
