Claim One:
1. A method for generating video content, the method comprising: generating respective specific views, for each of a plurality of cones of fovea, projected from spherical video content of an original video, wherein each of the plurality of cones of fovea corresponds to a viewing direction and the respective specific views comprise a two-dimensional shape, wherein generating the specific views comprises 1:1 pixel mapping the spherical video content for each of the plurality of cones of fovea to the respective specific views such that the specific views include the video content of the spherical video content having the 1:1 pixel mapping; receiving data indicative of one or more areas of interest in the spherical video content, the areas of interest indicating a subject of a frame of the spherical video content; synthesizing the respective specific views to generate respective foveated views, wherein each of the foveated views includes 1:1 pixel mapped spherical content of one of the plurality of cones of fovea, and wherein each of the foveated views includes a first portion having a first pixel resolution and comprising the one or more areas of interest and a second portion having a second pixel resolution less than the first pixel resolution of the first portion; and transmitting one or more of the foveated views, wherein a first foveated view comprises images forming a first set of triangle projections, wherein a second foveated view comprises images forming a second set of triangle projections, and wherein the method further comprises placing a first image from the images forming the first set of triangle projections side-by-side with a second image from the images forming the second set of triangle projections to form respective rhombus shaped projections and render video based on the rhombus shaped projections.
