Patent ID: 8174561

Claim:
A handheld electronic device comprising: a recording unit to: record images in a first direction from the handheld electronic device, and record audio data in a second direction from the handheld electronic device, where the second direction is different than the first direction; a positional arrangement to: determine positional data of the handheld electronic device corresponding to the recorded images and the recorded audio data; a directional arrangement to: determine first directional data indicating the first direction of the handheld electronic device corresponding to the recorded images and determine second directional data indicating the second direction of the handheld electronic device corresponding to the recorded audio data; a tilting arrangement to: determine a tilting angle of the handheld electronic device; a memory to: store a first application; a control unit to: execute the first application to: associate the first directional data, the tilting angle, and the positional data with the recorded images, and associate the second directional data and the positional data with the recorded audio data; and store the recorded images and the recorded audio data and the associated first directional data, the associated second directional data, and the associated positional data, and compare the positional data of the stored recorded images and the stored recorded audio data with positional data of previously stored recorded images and previously stored recorded audio data, associate the stored recorded images and the recorded audio data with the previously stored recorded images and the previously stored recorded audio data based on comparing the positional data, where the positional data of the stored recorded images and the stored recorded audio data is within a predetermined range of the positional data of the previously stored recorded images and the previously stored recorded audio data, stitch the stored recorded images and the stored recorded audio data with the previously stored recorded images and the previously stored recorded audio data, based on the stored recorded images and the stored recorded audio data being associated with the previously stored recorded images and the previously stored recorded audio data, and execute a second application, stored on the handheld electronic device, to: output the stitched images and audio data on an output arrangement to present a panoramic audio and visual representation of the stitched images and audio data, and present the stitched images and audio data in a service disclosing an experience of a user being surrounded by the stitched images and audio data as the stitched images and audio data are presented around and above the user.
