Method for displaying panoramic pictures using a video disc, video disc and arrangement for carrying out this method.

摘要

1. Method for displaying pictures to a spectator provided with control means allowing him to determine at least one azimuth viewing angle orientation in which the pictures are reconstituted from picture recordings divided between a plurality of files on a video disc in which there are also recorded coded references allocated to each recording and in which the pictures to be reconstituted are selected via these coded references as a function of the orientation determined by the control means, characterized in that the video disc comprises : - a first file (A) comprising a sequence of recordings of pictures of a panorama taken at viewing angles whose azimuth can be progressively varied in successive increments corresponding to a small enlargement of the field of observation of the panorama ; - at least a second file (B) of recordings of pictures of the same panorama taken at viewing angles with an identical azimuth to the first file corresponding to shots taken with a large predetermined enlargement, and in that the pictures to be reconstituted are selected ; - on the one hand among the recordings of the first file and those of a file with a major enlargement as a function of a predetermined enlargement value determined by the control means, - and, on the other hand, among the various recordings of a same file as a function of the azimuth orientation determined by the control means.
