Abstract:

A system for periodically recording GPS coordinates of a vehicle during the vehicle driver's trip as trip coordinates, at times when the driver gazes away from the direction of travel, recording a potential point in interest in accordance with the current GPS coordinates and an angle of the driver's eye gaze, and after reaching the destination, sending the trip coordinates and the point of interest coordinates to a remote server. The remote server may then retrieve from a GPS coordinate-tagged image database, panoramic images corresponding to the trip coordinates and potential POI coordinates. The driver, or any other user of the system, can then create an enhanced time-lapse video of the driver's trip by converting the retrieved panoramic images into a video focusing on points of interest capturing the attention of the driver.
