“…Keskinen et al [22] observed that the user's own height with respect to the camera height had no effect on the viewing experience and concluded that a height of 150 cm was suitable for the camera mount, irrespective of the user's actual height or posture. However, during the initial tests of the system, users felt too high at 150 cm while sitting.…”

“…Researchers have discovered that the height differences between the camera and eyes are more accepted by the viewers if the camera position is lower than the viewer's eye height [8]. Additionally, a seated pose is preferred and can be adapted to more easily than a standing pose [23].…”

Cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR) is a form of immersive storytelling widely used to create engaging and enjoyable experiences. However, issues related to the Narrative Paradox and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) can negatively affect the user experience. In this paper, we review the literature about designing CVR content with the consideration of the viewer’s role in the story, the target scenario, and the level of viewer interaction, all aimed to resolve these issues. Based on our explorations, we propose a “Continuum of Interactivity” to explore appropriate spaces for creating CVR experiences to archive high levels of engagement and immersion. We also discuss two properties to consider when enabling interaction in CVR, the depth of impact and the visibility. We then propose the concept framework Adaptive Playback Control (APC), a machine-mediated narrative system with implicit user interaction and backstage authorial control. We focus on “swivel-chair” 360-degree video CVR with the aim of providing a framework of mediated CVR storytelling with interactivity. We target content creators who develop engaging CVR experiences for education, entertainment, and other applications without requiring professional knowledge in VR and immersive systems design.

“…However, the guidelines presented in this work differ in context from previous work that focuses on the creation of material to be experienced away from the filming location, with the user accessing the environment through various methods, such as head-mounted displays and projection technology (e.g. [20,32,33]).…”

In this paper, guidelines are presented for creating videobased guided tours that employ 360°video content and produce the feeling of augmented reality. The benefit of the approach presented in this paper is that it does not rely on heavy technological requirements but can be implemented by anyone with a consumer level camera capable of making 360°video recordings, in a variety of locations with low cost and modest technological prowess. Principle application areas are for example museum and city tours, wayfinding applications and crafted narrative experiences. The guidelines were derived via a pilot implementation of the tour experience, which was initially ideated using workshop methods. The evaluation of the pilot showed that the approach is promising as a new way to experience locations, and provides us with guidelines that can be classified as essential, recommended and needing consideration for developing and applied such technology. Our guidelines describe and specify a novel method of creating 360°video recordings using low-cost and readily available hardware. The method can be employed by a wide variety of actors to create services administering AR-like experiences in a cost and time effective manner.
